Take a look at OpenNETCF or Smart Device Framework (http://www.opennetcf.com/[^]).

API OpenNETCF.ToolHelp.ProcessEntry.GetProcesses() returns an array of ProcessEntry. This is a list of all running processes.

It all depends on what you mean by transparency. In WinForms 'transparent' usually means your control is painted with the background color. This is probably not what you want.
Real Transparency is achieved through a technique called alpha-blending, and is available in GDI+, which is currently not implemented in Windows CE. SO you'll have to wait for Windows Phone 7 and Silverlight on the phone to get some operating system support for this (and your mileage may vary).
Note that you can still achieve transparency on Windows CE by painting the control yourself, and implementing your own Alpha-Blending routine. I've stumbled on a little library that may or may not be helpful:http://www.topshareware.com/WMGL-(Windows-Mobile-Graphics-Library)-download-72671.htm[^]

I think I can do that :

<br />
//get X,Y Pixel<br />
int xPixel = GetDeviceCaps(hdc,HORZRES);<br />
int yPixel = GetDeviceCaps(hdc,VERTRES);<br />
//Get dpi<br />
short xInch = GetDeviceCaps(hdc,LOGPIXELSX);<br />
short yInch = GetDeviceCaps(hdc,LOGPIXELSY);<br />
//Get X、Y Inch<br />
double x = (doulbe(xPixel)) / (double(xInch));<br />
double y = (doulbe(yPixel)) / (double(yInch));<br />
//Screen Size<br />
double z = sqrt(x * x + y * y);<br />

but get the size not correct!
what can i do?
someone helps me?
thanks~~~

You're probably out of luck. The implementation of GetDeviceCaps is left to the manufacturer. Most of them don't bother, and just leave the default values in the system. Go complain to Motorola Mad | :mad:

Every Handset has a xml profile file.. I think this is the best way to get any handset detail form it's profile. Try How to get mobile information using VBScript[^]; although it's a VBScript but i hope this may help you.

You can use the following code.

The default language is English. If user selecte any other lanugage from the drop down list like (arabic,french) then it should the whole application to that language.

Thanks In advance

If I add different resource files for different languages then I need to add lots of line to set the controls text at run time.

Can't we use culture method to change the language of the application with single line of code?

I read about this on internet and saw different codes for vb.net windows application but when I tried to apply this on pocket pc application it did not work for me.

Thanks In Advance

Changing the culture through My.Application.Culture will not magically redraw everything on your screen. It only takes effect for future resource retrieval. Best thing you can do is save the setting, exit your application and re-load it.
If my memory serves me right, you should be able to use normal truetype fonts on the device, so if you have a Windows Arabic font, you can just put in on the device. (only problem may be size, Windows CE uses cut-down versions of the fonts)
Not certain how right-to-left writing will be handled, though.

Can a wireless node still buffer packets when it's receiver is turned off?

Can a wireless node still buffer packets when it's receiver is turned off?

Hii ..

As per my knowledge ... Normally the AP will buffer if the stations are in power save mode, by checking the mib details stored in AP.
So if the receiver is turned off, the AP mib information doesn't conatin the details about that particular station.
So it won't buffer the packets for that station.This is my answer...If this is correct or not.....???

Thanking you
Krish

Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

typically, you read the data in a particular format from a serial port, or saved data from a gps plugged in as a usb device/file-system - this shows a good start to the vb/serial approach - there's also plenty of stuff here on cp and on the web. To a lot it depends on the capabilities of the device you are using

I am working on a pocket pc application by using vb.net 2005.

I have 2 questions about the datagrid and datatable.

1. What I want is that when the datagrid is populated then application should check the datagrid first cell value and if it is null then it should change the backcolor of that row to Red.

2. I am creating a datatable on form load event and the adding rows by executing the sql statement by using datareader. Now I want to add a tablestyle to that datagrid and want to set the width of the datagrid columns.

Simple is that how I can set a datagrid table style while setting the datasource to datatable?

Thanks In advance
