Had any of you tried to migrating the code written in Compact framework (For Windows CE mobile application) into windows application 2010 I did this but getting .resx error i.e resource file error since it is in old version.Has any of you tried a workaroud on this in order to get rid of .resx error.
View 7 RepliesI have the requirement to create an application that has multiple front ends developed using Windows Forms, WPF, ASP and Compact Framework Mobile Forms.I would like to be able to create a series of obejct representing the business logic and have this logic accessible from the various front ends available. My first thought was to use remoting as I'd like to be able to pass the business objects back and forth between client and server but the compact framework doesn't support remoting and also transferring a full framework business object to a compact framework business object doesn't seem possible.My next thought was to use web services but again the passing of business objects seems to be very hard to accomplish. Without doing this I would have to create individual web methods for each business operation.
Finally my next option is to use sockets and write the whole client/server logic within some classes and expose them to the UI/Business layer. My only problem with this is it is not scaleable should the number of clients increase dramatically whereas using remoting or web services I can host the solution via ASP.Net.Does anybody have an ideas on the best way forward for this or even have any input on how they would write an application that required a windows form, wpf, asp website and mobile device GUI all of which want to use the same business logic?
I'm developing an application with visual studio 2008 and compact framework 3.5 who needs to tell users about the compact framework version. If the user don't have the version specified in the application it sends a message but windows check the version before the application runs and send error message. How can i check the version before windows in vb without compact framework?
View 1 RepliesI am writing my first windows ce app. I am using an xml file (app.Config) to store state data... basically user preferences on the last location (connection string) that the person was using before closing the app. I am having trouble understanding what is happening on deploy. It looks like it is copying my xml file to the debug folder on deploy. My problem is, when I save the xml file it is not saving in my project. Is there another folder in which the emulator resides that contains all of the state data and possibly the file that I am writing out? I am saving the doc to the same filepath as I am reading in but it does not actually save or throw error or anything.

View 5 RepliesI currently had a .Net Remoting Application running on Framework 2 under IIS. I have to upgrade it to Framework 4 in order to use some new components. I have been able to set everything up and running smootly on Framework 2, but as soon as I change to Framework 4, I get the following exception when I try to call one of the function of my remote object.
The input stream is not a valid binary format. The starting contents (in bytes) are: 53-79-73-74-65-6D-2E-52-75-6E-74-69-6D-65-2E-52-65
This bug is not the real bug, it is caused by the fact that the remote object is throwing an exception, and IIS wrap the exception in XML, which throws the BinaryFormatter off.See this for more info on the bug.
This is very unfortunate because I cannot see what is causing the exception, and having never used any Remoting before, I do not have much ideas as to where to start debugging. It seems the Exception is thrown before even stepping in the code because I do a fair amount of logging and none of it seems to be triggering.Basically, I'm looking for some clues or pointer from people that encountered similar problems:
What could be causing the exception when no code has changed besides Compiling from .Net 2 to .Net 4?How can I get the full Exception message that is returned?

I am in the process of developing a messaging framework for a windows application that sends messages to a java application. To be precise when the win app wants to send a message it simply drops the message in a common database table which will be picked up by the java app. The windows application is deployed across 10 application servers (10 instances) over citrix for load balancing.Each instance of the application is capable of sending a message to the java application and each of these messages should have a unique id. From my end I need to make sure every message generated has to carry a unique id so that they can be identified when necessary. All the messages can be cleared every day or two.i am not quite sure about a best method of achieving this. Initially I wanted to create a static method that serves the next available id (incrementing the last id by 1). But this approach willn't guarantee unique number as the application starts only when at least one user is logged on. For e.g .On one server the app starts when a user logs in, he then sends a message and then the application stops when that user logs off. So when a next request for the app comes to that server a new instance will be started.

View 3 RepliesWe are in the process of creating a new WCF web service (WCF service that has an basicHttpBinding Endpoint) to carry out some of our business logic. The web application connects not problem at all, however our legacy Compact framework application doesn't seem to see the service at all. Are we on to a loser here and should we just revert to ASMX web service (the Compact framework cannot be upgraded) or is there a way around this?
View 1 RepliesI am building an application for windows mobile 5.0 using the .net compact framework and the mysql compact framework connector.Using this very simple app, I test the connection to our database:
Dim connection As New MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlConnection("Server=160.10.1.25;Uid=***;Pwd=***;Database=DevAutomate;Pooling=false;")Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
connection.Open()
connection.Close()
End Sub
In the beginning, I was using an emulator to test this and I was getting a MissingManifestResource error. When I figured out that the emulator didn't have a network connection, I connected it to active sync and used the device emulator manager to simulate cradling the device. Next, I got my hands on a HP iPac mobile device running windows windows mobile classic and I get the MissingManifestResource exception again. This time, I have a network connection on my device and it can definately see the database.

View 2 RepliesFor a reason I cannot explain, I now get compiler errors from the Application Designer whenever I enable the application framework in the VB.net IDE. I do not find much on this issue, except Scott Hanselman's admonition not to use this feature. I have mature projects in which this feature was enabled, but now even they will not compile.As this only began a few days ago, I have been trying various approaches to resolving the problem, up to and including removing VS2005 and reinstalling it, along with the framework, SDK, and all updates. No dice. The errors are below.This condition will occur even if I enable the feature in a new project.Does anyone have some thoughts and the cause and resolution of this problem?I probably should mention that I was using both VS2005 and VS2008 on this computer. I had been experimenting with 2008 for several weeks without incident.

i use me.Invalidate inside a timer so every 50msec the game redraw the screen with new positions. Why the buffering does not work??
