I'm a MSDN subscriber and haven't received it yet. As soon as i get it will try to publish it somewhere in the net...
Cheers
well the link i gave will let you download the beta even if you dont subscriber to msdn

I'm on my i-mate now & can't find any download links on that page. It is not even published at http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/recent.aspx download center.
Can you post a link to a pre-DL passport auth page?

I'm using Visual Web Developer 2005 beta.
Completely new to web development.
HTML tags were completely beyond me as was data driving asp stuff.
BUT......
VWD is a dream to use.
I now have an asp site that lets XDA equiped engineers interface with our back office systems. The database integration is simple (tho there are a few bugs) and controls autosize for the target device.
Give it a go
well the only stuff relevant for me is c++ and maybe a bit of c# so i dont end up like some creepy dinosaur like those people who started coding Cobol back in the 70's and are still at it!
suppose one have to keep a bit up with the trend
VS 2005
Hi, there:
I'm using VS2005beta1, and I think its cool except a stupid bug on device application development. I attached some screen shots here. hope these information helpful.
Unlike evc+sdk developer tool set, vs2005 includes all stuff needed to build device applications, and it supports the latest emulator which running native ARM code on an emulated arm920 device, it's much faster than the legacy emulator, the legacy i486 emulator is still suported, check the attached platforms.jpg for supported platforms, notice wince 5.0 device is in the list. :lol:
now we can program in vb.net, c#, or c/c++. the attached screen shots show these different types of projects. convenient enough hur.
well, a big problem arised when develop in c/c++, i did not try vb.net and c# coz I don't like'em. when you create a new project, two platform configurations are created, one for device and the other for emulator. I mentioned the new emulator before, remember? its cpu is an arm920, check the screen shot. this emulator is used when deploy and debug for the project's emulator configuration. but unfortunately, under the emulator configuration, the compile and linker will generate x86 executable which cannot be run on the target emulator. what is worse is that you cannot change to use legacy i486 emulator, you can not even connect to the legacy emulator, the problem may related to the virtual machine network service driver installed by the emulator installation file. I'm still checking it. until this problem is solved can we finally debug on emulator, otherwise we had the only choice to debug on the device, btw I can debug on device with no problem, it can even attach to a running process on the device
at the predicatable future, vs2005 will certainly supercede evc+sdk to become the unified development platform.
why the screen shots appear in a reverse order of my attaching? I think it should be a list instead of a stack. :roll:
Well, I think I´ll have a look at it soon. Could you check if there are any project types for deployment? Means a "setup projekt" for devices?
yeah, I forgot this one, check the shot, it support device cab project.
Good evening! I just released the source for my very own slimserver client for windows mobile! (I was very frustrated as I couldn't find any free/open source ones out there).
This is the first release ever, and hence very very basic. Thus, I have only released the source, and no binaries..
It does work, and it does satisfy my current requirements, so I don't plan on spending a lot more time on it. If you want to see it evolving to meet your own needs as well, please do help, by donating your time and coding skills
In order to make it work , you will have to manually edit the libslim\core.cs file with your slimserver details.
There are no GPL notices, nor attributions in the files yet for the various pieces of code that I used. This will change soon!
The scrolling list control is called Kinetic Scroller, and I found it on this forum. Many thanks to dosfan for releasing the source to that excellent and extremely usable control (I did some minor changes).
I found what was the basis for SlimXML somewhere on the web, I don't remember where. Many thanks to the developer In order to compile it, you might need Visual Studio 2008.
You will also need SlimServer version 7 beta installed, as the previous versions do not provide any CLI functionality for browsing the music folders
https://sourceforge.net/projects/pslimclient/
Nice..
This sounds great. Currently I am using the handheld skin and mplayer. It works but a real client would be sweet. The only problem is I don't think I can get a C# compiler. Do you know of a free one or would you be able to get me a binary? I'm running duttys 6.1 on a at&t tilt.
Thanks and good luck with the project.

New version V11 of C# IDE Mobile (MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS)
C# IDE Mobile is an application (totally free) that I've developed to be able to develop with C#/.NET2CF directly on the Pocket PC-Windows Mobile 5/6 (it doesn't require the .NET SDK, you don't need a desktop computer).
You can download the new version at:
http://www.geocities.com/hrowson/wm5_software/index.htm
or from my personal page:
http://www.geocities.com/hrowson/index.htm
MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS: This version includes a Windows Form Designer which greatly helps in creating your application's user interfaces. This designer is available in C# IDE Mobile via the menu "Tools/UserPlugin/ControlEditor" (and therefore works directly on the PPC). This greatly reduces the amount of written code for the application and allows getting a GUI very quickly (a few clicks)
This designer (free, like C# IDE Mobile) is developed by Jean and an introduction/presentation (although in French, but has some pictures to illustrate) is available here:
http://pagesperso-orange.fr/asnora/Control Editor/Control Editor.htm
This new version mainly adds the following improvements:
- Included new Windows Forms Designer (yes, you can a Windows Form designer usable directly on the PPC) developed by Jean (http://pagesperso-orange.fr/asnora/Control Editor/Control Editor.htm)
- Added support for compiled User Plugins (DLL instead of css)
- Added replacement File Dialog for smartphones on which the default .NET2CF FileDialog DLL is missing (this seems to be the case sometimes)
- Corrected issue with "Format document"
- Added support for user DLLs: You can now place your own CF DLLs (generated with Visual Studio for example) in the "UserDLLs" folder and call your functions within them (you can create your API for example in a native CF DLL and call these functions from your C# IDE Mobile code)
Harvey
Just some infos....
Hi,
In fact there's a translation on Jean's Web Site for the Form Designer and also I corrected a minor issue with the autatic code formatting (there was an ASSERT in there, but you just needed to say "ignore" to the debug dialog, so it doesn't really matter, the version is now V11b).
Harvey
Great tool! Thanks.
Microsoft assemblies
This is certainly a very interesting tool and probably will keep me happily busy!! But I seem to have a problem that I cannot find relative info: I'm trying to access the camera through the Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Forms.CameraCaptureDialog class, but the type cannon be resolved. I have verified that the appropriate GAC dll exists in the Windows directory. I cannot find the class/assembly in the MS.NETCF index either.
Any hints?
Thank you!
ps. I'm on a kaiser with CF 3.5 and Schap's WM6.1 Beta Rom.
nicely done sir
Hi,
Sorry, I've only just seen the post about Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Forms.CameraCaptureDialog. As I post on a few forums I don't always see answers that come a long time after the posts, that's why I leave my email easily accessible on the web site... don't worry about emailing me, I'm not planning on building a "spam" database...
I'll look quickly, there's also a similar problem with DataGrid it seems. I think these are both the same problem and should be sorted out quite easily.

I'm trying to follow these instructions for creating a Today Screen Plugin, but I can't compile the unmanaged code. I can't even get eVC to run on my Vista machine, and I don't know enough about c++ to manually convert it to a VS.NET 2008 project.
Is there a reason that I have to compile it myself? Is there somewhere I could download a "pre-compiled" version without having to struggle through this?
I managed to get the eVC++ projects imported into VS.NET 2008 and built, hooray!.
Next I opened the "Managed" solution that is supposed to build the cab files for the device and an installer for my dev box. With some tweaking of paths, I was able to get this to build too.
However, it looks like it's building a new project type for vs.net2003, not 2005. So installing the custom project doesn't actually seem to work. And I still can't actually start working on what I *REALLY* want to do, which is writing a today screen plugin.
So now I have to figure out how to make this project type compatible with vs.net 2008.
What a convoluted and weird way to distribute this stuff. Why didn't they just distribute some binaries?
You could try memwatcher project from WM5 SDK which came with Visual Studio 2008 or to convert the project from WM6 SDK that is created for VS2005. The example shows free memory (SD card and RAM) and is useful as starting point for new projects in VC++ (unmanaged).
MemWatcher is written to support different screen sizes and orientation by calculating the size of bars according the device screen size.
Read more about Memory Watcher here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb158711.aspx
I had no problems with these examples and created simple today screen for my needs with added to RAM/SD bars a battery level and large clock with date.
Thank you for the suggestion, but my C++ skills are negligible. I tried briefly to figure out how to write my own based on those samples, but since I don't even know string manipulation it was very much an uphill battle.
Later I found this, which allowed me to write something useable in C#. It's still alpha, but it seems to be stable. And it let me get on with the fun part of developing instead of trying to figure out linkers and static libraries.
Description:
AndroidLib is a .NET assembly written in C# (C-Sharp) that easily handles communication between a connected Android device and your program. Currently, there is a large amount of automated controls, eliminating thousands of lines of code the programmer has to write themselves. The class AndroidController is a semi-wrapper of the ADB (Android Debug Bridge) binary. The other class you will be working with the most is the Device class. This class contains useful information about the device (for example: software/hardware info, memory info, battery stats, mount points for partitions, root status, busybox information, and much more), as well as exposes many instance methods to control your phone such as Rebooting, Mounting Filesystems, Push/Pull/Install Files, and much more to come. AndroidLib contains all of the Android binaries necessary to work properly. AndroidLib also assumes that the phone's USB drivers are already installed correctly on the target machine, or that your program will take care of it on it's own.
This is perfect for any developer who would like to create, for example, an auto-rooter or any other application that needs to connect with Android devices through a .NET application. AndroidLib provides all the methods needed to communicate with the Android device. This will cut back on the code you have to come up with and write yourself by a HUGE amount!
What it does:
Provides easy-to-use code for communicating with Android devices in .NET
Provides easy access to information about the connected Android devices
Has a large list (and growing...!) of methods that control connected Android devices
Please credit the work here by me in your own projects; not only to give thanks to me and the many hours I am putting in to this project, but so others know where to find it if they need to!
Usage:
Add a reference to AndroidLib.dll in your .NET project and begin using this great API. Please refer to the "Getting Started.txt" guide and full documentation included in the zip.
Requirements:
.NET 3.5 or Higher

It's very useful, thank you very much, im planning to code a Filemanager like qtadb, because qtadb is sucking too often
In the process of completely redesigning the library (due to coding stupidity), basically from the base class up. I should have a beta1 out by this weekend for testing. All that are interested in beta testing this library for their Android .NET projects, post here and I'll add you to the list of testers!
It would be great!
Can you add something like adb forward? So we can connect to an android service without using ADB, that as we all know sucks!

Yeah, I'll throw in a method to create a port forward. What I have now uses the bridge, which is included in the assembly, but handles all of it silently and very well. I should have a build out soon (most likely this weekend). As long as you don't dispose the AndroidController object, that port forward will be good, so you can use your own Socket code

You can change the .NET to 3.5? I too code in .NET, and I try to keep the .NEt version as low as possible!

I'm just writing the documentation for this. I'm pretty sure I'll have it done today.
Yeah! Just a joke. When finished I'm sure will be a success!

Making some last minute changes to the Device class, then I'm going to finish the documentation and release it. Just keeping you updated.
Ok everyone, the new documentation is up (Online) (Offline). For the beginning of this product, I would like developers to pm me, or reply here in the thread if they would like to try the library out for their project, and I'll send it to them. It's still under development, and there will be updates coming out regularly. Shoot me a pm or post here and I'll send you a link right away.

Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!
Hi,
I'm C# developer and i would like to try your lib, can you send it please?
Thanks in advance, and great work.
Hey guys, check the first post to download the library. It is in a zip which includes the dll, "Getting Started.txt" and the documentation. Please read the getting started guide before diving into it! And please give me feedback on it. That would be much appreciated in order for me to deliver a better product.
Dan
Great work!
It works without any problem to me!
Next update will have these features internally implemented:
Package Manager (inside the phone's shell)
Ability to install/uninstall apks
Ability to freeze/unfreeze apks
Ability to backup/restore apks
A class that will handle signing of update zips
More internal information about connected device (cpu, environment, etc)
Possible wrapper of AAPT
That seems like a good amount for the next update. Please post anything you wish to share about the library after using it for these few days.
