Hi!
I'm trying to copy/paste to/from the clipboard using vb vs2005, Because no clipboard class support has been provided I decided the way to go was the API so I created a windows app that uses the API and it worked perfectly.. unfortunately it isn't portable to Pocket PC Has anyone tried to do this and found a way to do it??
Thanks

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,
Ive got 5 CAB files which all go together to run a little program i have written, however, when installing them on my XDA IIS every one of them displays the message 'The program you installed may not display properly because it was designed for a previous version of windows Mobile software'. I think these errors may become a problem when i place it in the Extended Rom folder.
the files are as follows
- OpenNETCF.PPC3.ARM
- MyProgram_PPC.ARM.CAB
- sql.ppc3.arm.CAB
- sqlce.dev.ppc3.arm.CAB
- sqlce.ppc3.arm.CAB
Any suggestions would be great!
Thanks,
James
Hi LinQ
The problem is that the OpenNETCF and SQL CAB files were built for WM2003 and _NOT_ WM2003SE. This means that WM2003SE cannot verify that they will work correctly with features such as the screen rotation facility.
To stop your app from coming up with the same message, you need to download the WM2003SE SDK from MS (haven't got a link sorry... but google for it and you should find it) and then target your application at the new WM2003SE device option that you get.
Hope that helps
I have Visual Studio 2005 on my PC plus the WM5 SDK. I have been developing a WM5 application and using the emulator to debug. It is nearly ready and thought that I would debug through the Wm5 PPC. I was then confronted with a warning message that the Compact Framework 2.0 was not installed on my PPC. OK I thought so downloaded the NETCFSetupv2.msi from Microsoft. When I try to run this I am told that I already have the .NET 2 Framework - presumably because I have VS 2005 etc.
Is there any way for me to get the CF2 onto my PPC without having to uninstall VS 2005???
Hi there,
Yes you can....
...\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SmartDevices\SDK\CompactFramework\2.0\v2.0\WindowsCE\wce500\armv4i
go to this folder and pick up the frame work that suits you
copy the cab file "NETCFv2.wce5.armv4i.cab" for Pocket PC to Pocket PC and install it.....

If you go into the properties of your project within VS2005 you will see a tab page for Devices. On that tab page change the target device to that which you want to deploy it to and lower down the page you will see a check box to "Deploy the latest version of the .NET CF". Ensure that box is checked. Debug your project and the CF will be installed on the device.

Thank you that might be what i search know i need to know how to access on on the DLL's
i do not believe that compact framework differs from normal .net
when it comes to oleDB interface
i would check out
codeguru.com for code about conecting to an access db
Thank you for the site! very useful
I will try to find something, but my problem is i never used vb.net in connection with databases
i cant help you with anything vb related as i hate vb
but if you need a connection string
http://www.connectionstrings.com/
I only read about sdf files... these databases suck, i dont want to work with different file types on my computer and my phone
Portable Database
i'm using SQLite on my wharehouse program it's free fast and your database file is portable meaning you can access the data on your mobile as well as your destop, if you are coding in .net there is a net wrapper availiable too, you can connect with the database similar way as if it was sqlce database so i found it pretty easy, and the sql syntax is like typical SQL. you have to get a query analyzer separetaly though, or build your own it's not hard to implement.
So try Googling for SQLite and the .Net Wrapper basicaly you need only the Wrapper, and copy the wrapper .dll to your device in your app directory.
Ps. There are many open source projects availiable to learn how to use it just search
Ps2.Sorry for my bad english.
Hi guys. I've been playin around with Visual Studio 2008, making a project for SmartDevices and my X1 using Visual Basic. I run the application in the built-in WM6Pro emulator provided, and it works fine. But when I make a CAB out of it, and try to install on device, it is unsuccessfull. When I compile it as EXE and run on device, it starts. But as soon as I try to click something within the program I get an error message saying "Cannot find file 'Micrsoft Visualbasic Resources" or something. I'm guessing I need to tell the application what dll's to reference..? But how? Anyone got a moment to explain? Thanks in advance,

What .net compact framework version is your application targeted at?
I assume where you were working with the emulator, you were doing debugging/deployment inside visual studio? When you are doing this visual studio will automatically deploy the required files such as .net compact framework 3.5 I think.
Since if you are using .net compact framework 3.5, then you will need that installed for you X1, since WM6 naively only includes .net CF 2.
Give that a try and let us know about your results?
I have used 3.5 when emulating in VS. I have 3.5 installed on my device.
When you are testing your application out in the emulator, have you ever tried installing it with the same cab files?
And what is the result? (make sure when you install the cab file, that the directory is not the same as the 1 you have been deploying when debugging, otherwise if they are the same clean up the folder first)
It the cab file doesn't work when it is being installed on the emulator, then at least we can isolate the problem to the actual configuration on your X1 rather than the cab file.
I assumed you used the Smart Device CAB Project template in visual studio?
If that is the case you might have not configured the settings properly yet.
