Hitting debug will deploy the application to \program files\AppNamespace\AppName.exe and attach to it. However, my app runs on the storage card \SD-MMC Card. This means I'm debugging and running in different places, so I have a slight maintenance headache. Therefore the question is, anyone know if you can specify the folder VS will use...
I develop applications for the PocketPC platform (.NET Compact Framework 2.0 and higher), and one of the problems I constantly run in to is the drop-down width for ComboBox controls is not wide enough to show very long string values. I've run across P/Invoke methods to widen the dropdown width, but what I'd really like to have is the Sm...
My compact framework application creates a smooth-scrolling list by rendering all the items to a large bitmap surface, then copying that bitmap to an offset position on the screen so that only the appropriate items show. Older versions only rendered the items that should appear on screen at the time, but this approach was too slow for a...

In Windows Mobile, when you open Internet Explorer and type in a URL that your device can't connect to, you are notified of this and prompted to (manually) navigate to the screen where you can actually do something about this as a user (Network Management), like so: However, if a .NET Compact Framework application tries to connect to ...
I need to upload a file using C# from a windows mobile app to a website. It's running PHP as the webservice on the other side, though I guess it really doesn't have to if there's another way to be able to get the file up there. There is no server-side ASP support, however. My problem really isn't the PHP, it's the mobile C# code. Also,...
I've got some library code that works on a range of .NET runtimes (regular, CF, Silverlight, etc) - but a small block of code is breaking only on CF 2.0, with a MethodAccessException. I'm pretty sure it is a runtime bug, but does anybody know any good workarounds? It works fine in CF 3.5, but I need to be able to support CF 2.0 too. Spe...
The [x] button in the top bar of a window that normally closes the window in standard Windows, appears to do a minimise instead on Windows Compact. How do it make it close instead? I need to also be able to raise an event when this happens as I want to preform some logic on window close. ...
I am trying to convert a windows forms application to a windows mobile application (windows mobile 6 professional). It needs to get an XML document from a web server. It works fine if the device already has an open network connection, say if you open IE before running the app. But it hangs if there is not an open connection. I have f...

I'm looking at rewriting an eMbedded Visual Basic app I wrote years ago. I'm unsatisified with it because of various problems clients keep having with it now and then over the years, mostly along the lines of the app not loading anymore because a required dll/activex control has gone missing! This is so frustrating and naturally difficul...

I have a goal to build an application with UI that would run on both Windows Mobile and "normal" desktop Windows. The priority is for it to "look good" under Windows Mobile, and for desktop Windows it is OK if it distorted. Before I invest days trying, I would like to hear if that is possible to begin with. There are several parts to thi...
I have been developing a compact framework app on an emulator, and some of the forms use DateTimePickers. These work fine in the emulator, but when running on the hardware they cause the form to close when a date is selected. No exception is thrown...the form just closes unexpectedly. Has anyone experienced this or know how to fix it?...
When moving my .Net Compact Framework application to the SD-card of a Windows CE device, the program executes slower then running it from the internal memory. I thought, the start-up might be slower, but it is the whole program. There is no IO to the storage card. Why is my application so slow and how does the compact framework handles...

I want to build something like a network scanner, so that I see in my application on which AccessPoint I'm on and what parameters this net has. Some interesting point would be ESSID, signal strength, noise, channel. Are theses properties device independent or do I have to interface each device independently? ...
