Hi,
This is more of a question than a problem. I'll be starting to create a piece of software that will need to be run on a PDA or mobile phone. The question is:
Do i need to code any differently from a windows exe to a mobile device in C#?
The reason for asking is because i've never looked into coding for any type of mobile device before and just wondered are there any major differences etc.
Regards,
Gareth.

You can use C# with the .NET Compact Framwork[^]. But you can code with C++ and traditional MFC and Win32 with Embedded Visual C++[^] (there's also EVC++ 4.0). It's very confortable using eVC 4, since it's traditional C++/MFC and even WTL. Of course, there are restrictions and mostly you'll program dialog-based apps, but it's nice IMO.
Regards.

Does anyone know how to implement Tap-and-Hold for a generic UserControl?
A ContextMenu seems not to be present, and creating a new one is without effect.
Does anyone have a simple C# example on how to include a contextmenu? All the source I found was for a ListControl that already had some kind of ContextMenu and that got only some new features, etc.
Anyhow, I don't get it work! 
Thanks in advance!

Hello.
I faced the same problem a year ago. In a word, there's no supported way for transparent labels. You'll have to make a work around.
There is this article you might want to look at: http://www.codeproject.com/ce/transparent_controls.asp[^].
There was a technique for creating transparent controls, that involved copying the bitmap of the window before the control was created, store it in memory and when drawing the control, use the portions of the bitmap to "draw" the control and then the control itself. Yet I think that with the already provided article will suffice.
Regards.

Hi there,
I'm currently looking into using this factory to create an application for a mobile device. I like the idea of using this factory because of the code/modules it provides (ie: connection monitor).
However, I was wondering if anyone had any experience or suggestions on MCSF as I'm finding it hard to find decent examples/tutorials to really get my head around it and start creating something worth while.
http://www.codeplex.com/smartclient/Wiki/View.aspx?title=Mobile%20Client%20Software%20Factory&referringTitle=Home[^]
I've had a look at the MCSF HOLs samples but no real progress.
Just wondering why this isn't more widely used/avaliable, there don't seem to be many MCSF examples on Code Project.
Thanks in advance,
Pete

hi ,
I'm having a problem with my dropdownlist autocomplete feature (onkeyup event using javascript) on PDA but it works fine on my desktop pc (local host).

I suspect is there any javascript version or browser compatibility on the PDA side?...any suggestions?thanks in advance..

Hi everyone,
Is it possible to connect the Emulator (Pocket PC / Windows CE) to the activesync?
My second question concerns a webservice problem
I have a folder c:\webTest which contains my webservice and a subfolder
c:\webTest\images containing some images.
When I try to transfer files from the images folder to the PDA I get the following error:
" server was unable to process request.---> c:\webTest\images\Jenny.jpg is not a valid virtual path "
Does anyone know how to solve this problem

Hi,
I am working on a PDA application (visual studio 2005). My project is to transfer data between a PC and PDA. I've created windows application for PC and mobile application for PDA.Im using XML for storing data in both applications. How can i transfer datas between PC and PDA. Both PDA application and Windows application contains a button called "Synchronisation". Clicking on these will start transfer of data between pc and pda. im using C# 2.0.

I don't use active sync for data transfer. Much more reliable and capable is WTMiP from Quest Solution, described as FTP on steroids. There is a client and a server component. You call the client from your code - examples are provided.

Can I easily catch with .NET CF an event or notification, when a SD card or comparable is inserted or plugged out?
I have done this in embedded Visual C++ 4 once, but I cannot find my source, nor find anything about the mechanism in general right now. 
Hints/help appreciated. 
|
|
|
|
|
At least I remembered that I had to catch the WM_DEVICECHANGE event, and I had to register for notification previously.
Anyhow, I have no idea if this could work with .NET CF, since at least the registering process is somewhere in the API.
Hints are still welcome.

|
|
|
|
Made it on my own, the only trick thing is to get the correct DEV_BROADCAST_PORT instead of a volume. Only one of the LPARAMS carries the SD-cards attaced path.

That depends upon your selection of Language.
Everything can be done in all languages.

Visual C++ has always been available. Visual Basic support has lagged. Now .NET and C# ("managed code") seem to be the preferred language.
Download Embedded Visual Tools from Microsoft's web site. It's a free download. You can develop simple apps in emulation mode, running on the PC without need for a handheld.
Latest Mobil devices require the Visual Studio first, which is not free.
VC++ is my recommendation.
ActiveSync is the tool used to download the application to the handheld computer. Also a free download from Microsoft, it is preinstalled on the handheld.

Depends on the phone.
Most phones use some form of Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME) for third-party software. Symbian/Series 60 phones also support C++ development I believe, but it may be necessary to get the software certified to get it onto end-users' phones. Normally the J2ME environment is more limited in what you can do (for example, it may not be possible to do image capture from the camera).
On Windows Mobile phones (Smartphone or Pocket PC Phone Edition) you can use either C++, or VB.NET or C# with the .NET Compact Framework. The latest .NET Compact Framework version is v2.0, but Windows Mobile 5.0 and earlier ship with CF 1.0 in ROM. WM 5.0 has SP3 in ROM, older devices will have older versions. Don't bother with CF 1.0 before SP2, it was very buggy, so if your customers will be using Windows Mobile 2003 phones, they will need to upgrade the Compact Framework.
The VB.NET language is the same on both desktop and Compact Framework, but the Framework is significantly cut down. In places where the desktop Framework has multiple ways of doing things, Compact Framework only has one. Also, a lot of overloads have been removed and operations that do more in one call have been removed, in favour of the simpler operations (example: Graphics.DrawLines was not present in CF 1.0).
