Hi there!
I am creating an finance application for the pocket pc(windows mobile sdk6).
Anyway,I want to download stock prices from yahoo finance and save them directly to a database.The files are downloaded in CSV format,eg:
http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=XOM+BBDb.TO+JNJ+MSFT&f=snd1l1yr
Theres loads of examples online of how to import a .CSV file to a database,but how can I import the information directly,without having to reference a physical file saved on the c drive?
Any help is greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks!

I am working in pocket pc application in vb.net by using microsoft visual basic 2005.
What I am trying to do is to have a confirmation when user close the application.

Hi all,
I'm creating a .NET 2 program to work under WinCE 5, and am having difficulty installing it. If I deploy it from VS2005, it copies over the full .NET install as well, and runs fine. If I create a CAB file with all the dependencies and install that, it fails to run saying it can't find the file or one of its dependencies.
Any suggestions as to why the CAB approach is falling over?
TIA.

I think you have experienced a wrong directory issue that is why it doesn't find the file. I suggest you to recheck the directory structure.

Yes you can pass some values to core functions of an dll file. There is a PINVOKE methods that shows how to do it. Please check this link Here
I hope it helps.

Hi,
Is there a way to detect file opening / close.
When a file is clicked to open, before the mobile phone launch the
respective application (e.g. word doc, window media player, etc etc), my system will need to do an operation.
Same thing for file close. When the file is completely close, do something to the file.
I did a bit of research.
Firstly, IMessageFilter won't work because it only detect mouse event on the
form. Opening a file in \My Documents or anywhere else outside the form would
not trigger the PreFilterMessage
Secondly, Event Hook in CF does not support mouse event. It only work with
Keyboard.
I am sure there is a alternative solution out there.
Hope to hear from someone soon. its pretty urgent

seems like im not getting response for this. hmm is this feasible? otherwise i will probably think of another plan.

Maybe it's a good idea to think of a new plan but posting

my apology.
i have been asking around but with no result.
im starting to think it's not feasible but i have seen other application with this feature.
i relli hope to apply this feature? it will definitely make alot of different in terms of user friendly.
Any idea for this?

I have an app running on a PDA which makes use of a number of subfolders. After my initial build and deploy I just created these folders manually on the device. Now I am looking to deploy the app onto more devices and want to have these folders created for me. Is there some way that I can do this as part of the initial deploy?
|
|
|
|
|
sure you can.
what i did was create a configuration file which does various initialization during the startup of the application.
for example, the initialization function will check if the sub folder exist. if it is not, it will create the respective sub folders.
is this what you're looking for?
|
|
|
|
|
Now you mention it I realise I have been a bit stupid. I don't need to copy the empty folders when I deploy the app. I will just add an initialisation function to my app and create them if they don't exists. Thanks for the pointer.

Hi All
I have been doing some research on command line programs and been testing some results from these.
Now that I am done testing, I am looking to test a few more features, this time on a mobile platform.
The problem I have is whether or not it is possible to use a command line executable within the mobile environment.
This is the ideal scenerio:
Some uses there phone and logs onto a specific website. They then request something from the server.
The server then sends the requested file along with the command line exectuble. The executable then performs specific functions on the file on the mobile client side and presents the file.
Is this at all possible?
Two things immediatedly jump out at me: Do I have to code the executables into the web application for the mobile, or can it be done simply by programming in somthing like asp .net?
Thanks for the assistants and comments in advance!

1) stop posting in multiple forums - pick the best one and hope its right - people will get snippy if they see the same question in different forums .
2) I used to know of a 'cmd' or 'command' type console application for my iPaq, which isnt that far off what you want, except I dont think it will be very useable on a Mobile as such due to the smaller screen
3) Command line exes dont really exist in the mobile world for a good reason - they dont enhance the user experience - I'd re-do the design of what you're trying to do ...

1. I didn't realise people found it annoying posting questions that way, but I see your point.
2. Will look into how that works.
3. I know that they don't exist often in mobile devices, haven't actually seen any. The reason I am using command line stuff is to plug-in stuff from other sources that have been developed for PC. I'm looking at the effects, etc. of running specific programs and functions on the PC and seeing whether its suitable for the mobile environment too.
Thanks for the reply!

sorry - I do see your point and what you're trying to achieve - I did try to find the console for the ipaq, and couldnt find it - I'll keep looking though
One thought I had, is, compile your functionality into DLLs instead of command line programs, much like a 'plug-in' system. Your base program with a graphics interface lets you enter the url, and select from a list of loaded dll's to get the functions you require ...
