Mobile Web Application on Pocket PC 2003 Emulator

Good Day,

I just made a Mobile Web Application using VS2005. Whenever I compile, it launches the website using my web browser.

How can I test my Mobile Web Application using the built-in Pocket PC 2003 emulator?

Thanks! Smile | :)

It is said that the most complex structures built by mankind are software systems. This is not generally appreciated because most people cannot see them. Maybe that's a good thing because if we saw them as buildings, we'd deem many of them unsafe.

Play sound on Smartphone/PDA

Hi all,

I am creating an application which will send/receive messages, whenever a message comes in it should play a sound file(wave/mid or any other format).

How can we do it?

I am using C#.NET, Windows Mobile Smartphone SDK, Compact framework 2.0

Thanks in advance

From my experience, audio support with compact framework 2
is far more tedious than in ce3, you have to make do with very little,
so it may be a good idea to use 3, but of course
there are situations when you have to use ce2.

Using compact framework 3 you have access to far more including the
[SoundPlayer] class which has support for many many audio files
and does the work for you.

>> whenever a message comes in it should play a sound file

The most common way of playing a sound for ce2 would be to use
[PlaySound]... this is probably your best solution.

Once you add the class at this link you can create your own objects, either by passing
a file path or a nice way is to refer to your Resources and get the files byte array...

Sound sound = new Sound(YourApplication.Properties.Resources.SoundFile);
sound.Play();

Now the class at that link doesnt seem to work when using the stream constructor, so
add the following constructor to the class... You need to add this for the byte
array constructor example above to work...

public Sound(byte[] sound_bytes)
{
  // read the data from the stream
  m_soundBytes = sound_bytes;
}

Now, unfortunately from what I have tested this only supports .WAV files.
You can either do this... or try using WaveOut to play your sounds, which will still
only support .WAV files but can be built upon to support more...
Or you can play any file the phone supports by calling the local systems Media Player
with a file as the argument file to execute...

Could someone please help me out? a small code sample would be nice Smile | :)

What I want now is to create an "installer" to deploy my application. How do I proceed?

.Net C.F. 2.0: Sent SMS don't get stored in the PocketOutlook "SMS\Sent Items" container

23-Jul-08 4:05

Hi,
I developped a small app using VisualStudio 2005, CF 2.0 C# that targets the Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional operating system.
It tries to send sms in 2 different ways:

Direct:

string NumTelefono = textBox1.Text;
     string Messaggio = textBox2.Text;
     if (Messaggio.Length > 255)
         Messaggio = Messaggio.Substring(0, 255);

     SmsMessage sendMsg = new SmsMessage();
     Recipient recpt = new Recipient(NumTelefono);
     sendMsg.Body = Messaggio;
     sendMsg.To.Add(recpt);
     sendMsg.RequestDeliveryReport = true;
     sendMsg.Send();

Using Pocket Outlook:

string NumTelefono = textBox1.Text;
string Messaggio = textBox2.Text;
if (Messaggio.Length > 255)
    Messaggio = Messaggio.Substring(0, 255);

using (OutlookSession session = new OutlookSession())
{
    SmsAccount smsAccount = session.SmsAccount;
    SmsMessage smsMessage2 = new SmsMessage(NumTelefono, Messaggio);
    smsAccount.Send(smsMessage2);

}

I tried both with the emulator and a real device, the sms gets sent but it's not stored in the "SMS\Sent Items".
Is there a way to implement such functionality ?

Ciao

MenuItem.Click event stops working

Mark Lison17-Jul-08 5:57

17-Jul-08 5:57

I have a WM5 .NetCF 2 C# application written in VS2005.

It has alot of menus and at runtime I change which ones are displayed depending on which screen is being shown to the user. After a while the MenuItem.Click event stops working, strangly the MenuItem.Popup event still works. I've trimmed back to test appliction to reproduce the problem:

Create a new application, add a button with the following Click code:

private void button_Click( object sender, EventArgs e )
{
  for ( int i = 0; i < 5000; i++ )
  {
    // next two line to show progress around the loop
    button1.Text = i.ToString();
    Application.DoEvents();
    // these two eventualy cause the problem
    mainMenu1.MenuItems.Clear();
    mainMenu1.MenuItems.Add(menuItem1);
  }
}

Create a menu structure with 20 items like the following:

MyMenu
|
1--1A
|  1B
|  1C
|
2--2A
   2B--2BX
   |   2BY
   |   2BZ
   2C
...

Add the following code to some of the menu items:

private void menuItem_Click( object sender, EventArgs e )
{
  MessageBox.Show("Click");
}

Run the application, test the linked up menuItem to check the message is shown, press the button, wait for it to finish, try to press the menuItem, nothing happens. Please help.

Transparent Controls in WM 5.0

Is there a way to make the standard controls (created by CreateWindow) to look transparent (to see the background under them)?

I'm writing in native C++ with VS2005 for WM 5.0.

P.S. Since WM_EX_TRANSPARENT constant is not declared I assume it doesn't work.
(o boy, I'm getting sick of so many things that don't work on WM 5.0)

Hi,

I have developed a compact framework application with target platform as Windows mobile 6.0, Now I am trying to run the application on Windows Mobile 5.0 too, for that I change the target platform to "Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC SDK" for each of the project in my solution.

When I debug my application from Visual Studio, the application runs fine but when I try to run application from installing using Cab setup project, it shows the "InvalidProgramException". Kindly reply if I am missing some step.

After changing the target Platform, I add the project output again, and also I am using localization resources for multiple language support.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

unmanaged code DLLs are looked up through the PATH evironment variable, which holds a list of folders.
So they all must reside in folders from that list.
Furthermore if one such DLL calls for another one, the second one must be either in the same folder,
or in a folder DOWN the list (not sure which it is).

It is often a good idea to prefix ".;" to the PATH so the own folder is looked in first.

Hope this helps.

I tried to write a program that involved a file opening, reading, and wrting to a text file in vb.net 2003. It works well in vb.net 2003 but when I use it in vb.net 2003 for my pocket pc application, it does not read, nor write, only opens the file. Can you help me??

Here is the code:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

Dim sFileName As String = "\Test.txt"
Dim myFileStream As System.IO.FileStream

Try

'We have our variables, lets attempt to open it
myFileStream = New System.IO.FileStream(sFileName, _
FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.ReadWrite)

Catch

'Make sure that it exists, and if it doesn't display an error
MessageBox.Show("Cannot not open the file. Make sure in the location shown.")

Finally

'It works, but we are going to try one last method
If myFileStream.CanRead = True Then
'This is where we would read from the file
Label6.Text = "File opened!"
txtFileDisplay.Text = "File opened!"

'We are done with the file now, so close it
myFileStream.Close()
End If

End Try

End Sub

Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
'Declare those variables!
'Dim sFileName As String = Application.StartupPath & "\VB.txt"
Dim sFileName As String = "\Test.txt"
Dim myFileStream As New System.IO.FileStream(sFileName, _
FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.ReadWrite, FileShare.None)

'Create the stream writer
Dim myWriter As New System.IO.StreamWriter(myFileStream)

'Write in what is in the text box
'myWriter.WriteLine("It works, thank God!")
myWriter.WriteLine(txtFileDisplay.Text)

'Flush before we close
myWriter.Flush()

'Close everything
myWriter.Close()
myFileStream.Close()

'Clear the text
Label6.Text = ""
End Sub

Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
'Declare any variables
Dim sFileName As String = "\Text.txt"
Dim myFileStream As New System.IO.FileStream(sFileName, _
FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read)

'Create the StreamReader and associate the filestream with it
Dim myReader As New System.IO.StreamReader(myFileStream)

'Read the entire text, and set it to a string
Dim sFileContents As String = myReader.ReadToEnd()

'Print it to the textbox
'Label6.Text = sFileContents
txtFileDisplay.Text = sFileContents

'Close everything when you are finished
myReader.Close()
myFileStream.Close()
End Sub
End Class
