Hi,
I've been using emBedded visual C++ for 2-3 years writing application for pocket PC ( Mainly Ipaq'a).
I've recentrly invested in a Xda but when I attempt to "update my remote output file" from with embedded VC ++" i get the following error:
" Microsoft Active sync connection server failed, Please make sure active sync is running and retry the download etc.."
Of course Activate sync is running, and running correctly, Has anyone had this issue before ?
I can manually copy my executable to my device and run it,but then I can't debug. I'm in the process of download VC 4.0 and going to try that, but really wold like to runing in under the 3.0 version.
Any comments would be appreicated.
Bad news dude, eVC++ works only with PocketPC 2000 + 2002. The development environment you'll need to develop on 2003+ is either eVC++ 4.0 or Microsoft Visual Studio.NET.
Thanks for the update,
I've installed Embedded VC 4.0 and the SP3, Now I can download to my XDA which is great.
Now I want to maintain backwards compatiable and download to my ipaqs in 2002, I can't change the actiive configuration to PPC2002
Is there a way to compile my application for both 2002 and 2003 using VC 4.0 or do I need to maintain both IDE's
Sorry but there's no way to maintain both 2K2 and 2K3 targets from eVC 4. You can have the same set of source code but eVC 3 + 4 have different project file types. Have a project per IDE containing the same source code. Just remember when you add files to the project you're working on, remember to add the files to the other platform's project as well.
Happy coding!

Hi Folks!
I'm trying to add GPS emulation to my navigation system, that is based on CellTracking via GSM.
Does anybody know how to create a virtual CommPort in eVC++ :?:
I tried it with function like ActivateDevice or RegisterDevice, but i always receive a zero Handle:
Code:
#include "winbase.h"
bool virtPortOpen(HANDLE& HandleGiveAway)
{
//HandleGiveAway = ActivateDevice(L"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Drivers\\GPSvirt", 0);
HandleGiveAway = RegisterDevice(L"COM", 7, L"serial.dll", 0);
if ((HandleGiveAway == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) || (HandleGiveAway == NULL))
return false;
else
return true;
}
int virtPortClose(HANDLE& GetHandle)
{
return DeactivateDevice(GetHandle);
}
Did i use the right .dll-File? Need i create a own .dll-DeviceDriver with the DDK?
Please give me a hint!
Greetings,
Florian

Thanks for the URL, but i think that this solution is much to expensive for a student!
Any other suggestions?

Archive contains a sample virtual COM-port driver. It is installed as a COM8 and after opening COM8 it redirects all data to COM1. You may modify the driver as you like.

In this Archive is a C++ project, which deals with infrared communication. I don't know what it has in common with creating a virtual CommPort. - Haven't you postet the right file?
When i try to compile this project, i found out, that it calls some functions not included in the header files, or anywhere else! Look here:

Re: Post of "mamaich"
oops. Wrong archive. Should be http://mamaich.kasone.com/rover/RIL_hook.rar
it contains 2 projects:
Serial - a wrapper around the standart COM1 driver
seRILal - a virtual COM8 driver that creates COM8 and redirects all its IO to the first driver.

Sounds good. - Thanks!
I'll give it a try in the evening! - Too good weather here in Germany!

How to install virtual ports?
This project seems to be exactly what I was searching for! - Much thanks!
But I still have a question: :arrow: How do I install the drivers? - Should I place a new Key in the registry, and in that case, which values do I need to add?
When I try to load one of the drivers with RegisterDevice, I always receive a NULL handle.
Is it a problem that I have deinstalled the standart serial COM1? - But the serial.dll is still existing!
Greetings,
Florian
Re: How to install virtual ports?
this project is coming from Anextek SP230. It had COM1 driver named xsc1_serial.Dll.
To install you should go to registry and modify COM1 driver to be serial.dll and add manualy COM8 driver to be seRILal.dll (you may choose any other COM-port number).
In case of Imate COM1 driver is com16550.Dll, so for this method to work you should recreate import library from com16550.Dll and overwrite Serial\serial.lib file with it. Otherwise your serial.dll would import functions from a nonexistent DLL and the system will crash.
Re: How to install virtual ports?
Well,
thanks very much for your explanations!
But I still have a problem: How do i edit the link to the "xsc1_serial.dll" in the .lib-file?
Need it to be rebuild? - My Problem is that i only have emVC++ without DDK or Platform Builder! - It isn't availibe for free, i think!
Why is the .lib-file needed? - Does it export the COM_Write etc. fuctions to the project?
Thanks in an advance!
Florian
Re: How to install virtual ports?
Probably you don't need this file.
My project is hooking COM1 and makes the real hardware accessible by both COM8 and COM1. As far as I understand you are trying to add a new COM-port to the system that would emulate a GPS receiver. You should take seRILal project, remove Redirected_COM_* functions, remove serial.lib from the project and write your own implementation of My_COM_* functions (they would be exported as COM_* functions, look into serial.def file).
Reed MSDN library for information on this, but remember that it is incorrect in most function prototypes .
You should implement COM_Init (typically driver reads its settings from registry), COM_Open (allocate buffers, return HANDLE for the opened port, that is typically a pointer to allocated buffer), COM_Read (read data), COM_Write (wite data), COM_Close (free the memory allocated in COM_Open). All other functions should be present, but they may do nothing (simply return "success"). You should later implement COM_IOControl function, so that your driver would correctly implement read/write timeouts. My code does not implements this. All timeouts are hard-coded.
My Problem is that i only have emVC++ without DDK or Platform Builder! - It isn't availibe for free, i think!

Everything is available for free (soft, beer, girls, etc ). At least in Russia.
Trial 120-day version of Platform Builder 4.20 is available for free from Microsoft.

Maybe you could look here.
Sorry I can't be any help but...
I've been thinking about CellTracking via GSM for a while now.
Most folk I've talked to in the UK tell me that it's not possible for a GSM device to discover it's own position !?
Any links or pointers on tracking ?
Ideally i'd like to append coordinates of the device on every post to the backend db.
Cheers (and good luck with the comm port thingy!)
I need to creat on my ipaq 5550 a virtual comm port
Hi,
Have you solve your problem ?
I am working on a robotic project and I have the same problem but on a ipaq 5550 under ppc2003.
I need to creat on my pocket pc a virtual comm port.
Because I receive by WIFI, GPS NMEA sentences, so I want to redirect them to this virtual port, and finaly connect to this port my regular GPS navigation software.
Thanks
Laurent

I am using O2 XDA2 Tradition Chinese machine...but when i installed the WM2003 vb runtime..."Failed to load resource dll msdaerch.dll" a error dailog shown out...What's going on...?....please...help me....
Hi. So I just got a dump of my iPAQ 110, and I found this file. Earlier i stumbled onto this article:
http://www.ekhoury.com/2006/04/21/how-to-make-msn-messenger-add-ins/
Unfortunately this doesn't work for the latest messenger on the PC, but I was wondering if i can do something similar to make plugins for the mobile messenger. I tried to start a "Smart Device" project in VS2008 (I already have the wm6.0 sdk refresh installed), and then add this dll as a reference, but I get "A reference to "WLMMessengerplugin.dll" could not be added.", and when i click the help button it links me to an article saying this:
The project you are trying to load targets a device platform that your Visual Studio installation is not configured to support.
To correct this error
Install the platform that supports the project you want to load.
Anyone had any success with this?
Hi All,
I am using VS2008 to write C# codes for a Windows Mobile 6.5 device. I know that Trace.WriteLine could be used to trace a program for a non Windows Mobile project However, when I try to use Trace.WriteLine in a Windows Mobile 6 project, I receive the following compilation error :
CS0117: 'System.Diagnostics.Trace' does not contain a definition for 'WriteLine'
I find that if I use Debug.WriteLine, then the mobile project compiles OK. But due to some technical issues I have to stick to the "release" build in this mean time. Does anyone know of other ways to trace a C# program in a windows mobile project, i.e. write debug messages to the VS2008 output window.
Thanks for any suggestion.
Regards
Lawrence
How to trace C# code in Windows Mobile 6.5
Hi All,
In fact, I have a downloaded opensource VS2008 solution with a C++ DLL project and a C# Application Form project. The C# project calls the DLL created in the C++ project. Both the two projects have a "release" config but the C++ DLL project doesn't have a usable "debug" config. The original opensource solution could be compiled and run OK if both of the two projects are in "release" mode.
However, I want to turn the two projects into "debug" mode and add debug/trace statements (Debug.WriteLine, Trace.WriteLine) in the two projects. For the C# project it is trivial but for the C++ project I find no way to do this. If I turn the C# project in "debug" mode while keeping the C++ project in "release" mode, the solution rebuilds OK but when I deploy the projects into my Windows Mobile 6.5 device, an exception occurs complaining that the "debug" mode DLL (i.e. the DLL with an extra "D" in its name) could not be found.
Does anyone know of an easy way that I could create a "debug" config from the existing "release" config for the C++ project so that I could turn the whole solution into "debug" mode, or could I re-config the "debug" mode C# project so that it could use the "release" mode DLL created in the "release" mode C++ project ?
I am sorry if I have asked a too naive or too hard question as I am mainly using Java and am new to the VS2008 C++/C# environment.
Thanks for any suggestion and any pointer/link would be appreciated.
Regards
Lawrence
