After installing VS2008, the platform builder mod, and the WM7 aku, VS usually prompts you, upon first startup, for your default mode. If you make a mistake and select something other than PB7, how do you get back into PB mode? I can get the device window, but it is always greyed out. I can also configure my normal connection settings, ...
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...

I have been used my Palm Treo 650 for a few years. Now i am considering to buy a new one among iPhone, BlackBerry and Windows mobile. It seems windows mobile is best for me.

Hi, I have played around with smart phone development (windows ce), and it seemed pretty straight forward using vs.net and having a nice emulator etc. How is blackberry development? Seeing as it uses JavaME I am guessing learning the SDK/syntax for a .net developer wouldn't be that hard to get going with. But what about the developme...

For as long as mobile phones have been running third-party applications, I've wanted to try my hand at writing some. Now that it's coming time to replace my PalmOS-powered Treo 530, I'm looking to acquire a new phone that has a robust platform for third-party development. For contractual reasons, it must work on the Spring PCS network. ...

I want to allow our main application to generate document files that can be easily read on the iphone, or other smart phones. The easiest way to do this, I think, is to create a simple HTML file and use javascript to show / hide different bits of it.

In Windows Mobile PocketPC/Pro, you can specify that the Minimize button be used to Close the form instead (triggering the Closing event, etc.) by setting MinimizeBox = 'false'. On a Smartphone, the Back button is used in the same way as the X in the PocketPC form's corner, but I can't seem to find an obvious (or less obvious) feature t...

My Windows Mobile app uses an HTML control in one of its views, and whenever that view displays a page with an edit field in it, once the keyboard focus reaches that control, it gets stuck. If there are links above or below the control, the up and down navigational buttons don't take you to them. Instead, they act like the left and right...
In an era of smart phones becoming increasingly powerful each month, often having 300+ MHZ processors, 64+ MB of RAM and true multimedia and multi-tasking capabilities, it is also getting obvious that mobile phones can now also be used as mobile computers, sometimes even for development purposes by developers, when they may either have n...
