List of currently running programs

ToolHelp Reference
If you just want to do it once, use the remote tools that come with Embedded C++ or Visual Studio. If you want to get it within your program, see the ToolHelp Reference. (search for toolhelp at microsoft.com) You'll find such functions as:
CreateToolhelp32Snapshot
Process32First
Process32Next
Since you asked for the dll, toolhelp uses toolhelp.dll

Help coding a Flash7 wrapper for WM5/WM6

We need to update one of our old pocketpc programs to Windows Mobile. It's a pretty simple program, but I'm not a C#/VB programmer.
For a visitor center we give the visitors a PDA with a flash interface. The only thing the wrapper needs to do is:
Play a flash7 file Fullscreen (regardless of resolution on screen)
Disable all hardware keys (but send to flash) and flash right click if possible.
Receive quit & reset command from Flash
Flash Lite is not an option as we use flash communication server for all communication.
This was no problem for PPC2003, but the old program does not work in WM5/6. Since we have simplified our wrapper functionality I thought it would be simple to create a new flash wrapper. I can preinstall the flash7 plugin.
Option 1: I've managed to get a C# file running if I embed IE and let that open a html with a swf, but I still need to block all hardware keys and flash right click. I've tried several things, but nothing works. It also seems like using IE inbetween is a bad solution. Embedding the flash player directly by adding it as a reference like the VB example below.
Option 2: I VB if I add the flash.dll (extracted from cab file) as a reference and run the following code:
Code:
Dim FlashObj As New ShockwaveFlashObjects.ShockwaveFlash
FlashObj.Movie = "main.swf"
I don't get a error, but I also don't get a visible flash file...
Any ideas? I know several people need to play flash files on wm5/6 as Zinc and other commercial wrappers don't support it.
I would pay for a product like this

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.

Modify SourceID of a contact

I tried to find on internet but found nothing on it.
I am trying to modify the SourceID of a contact on Windows Mobile.
I am using .Net, and by now i am sure that it cannot be done.
But if someone can possibly write me a small wrapper which has a function to do this.
I will use that in .Net and pass it an ItemID & SourceID as parameter, and it will modify SourceID of that ItemID.
I am not a guru in c++ and thats the reason i seek help if anyone could help me.
Just to add, Windows Mobile 5/6 SDK comes with a sample app called PimExProvider
It updates all contacts SourceID to a new available id.
This code will surely help to start with if someone can help me.

I was able to do it myself.
I created the c++ dll and called it in .Net.

[Q] How to trace C# code in Windows Mobile 6.5

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
