This question really belongs in the Embedded/Mobil Forum.
But, did you install the .NET Compact Framework (same version as your dev environment) on the Pocket PC?

I think that when I press run (F5) in visual studio dev env it automatically deploys .net CF to PocketPC. at least it does so in emulator.
Thanks anyway

Hi. I am working on a project which involves one server and many remote apps accessing its features.(A cyber classroom). I have a problem that when i receive a picture from the sever through remoting, i am unable to display it due to some serialization problem. Secondly i am stuck in remoting events. I want a remote event which is broadcasted to all subscribers when fired. If someone could help me, i would be greatley thankful.

Hi
If you are using the winsock activex control then you need to build some optimizations around your server and client apps. You will find that if you use the SendData sub routine you will have to send data in packets each around 512 to 2048 bits in size and also delay the packets until the SendComplete() event is called each time.

anybody know how to call a form using keyboard key like F3.
and also how to pass a value from a form to a textbox of other form in vb.net.
|
|
|
|
|
Private Sub Form1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyDown<br />
If e.KeyCode = Keys.F3 Then<br />
Dim f As New Form2<br />
f.Show()<br />
e.Handled = True<br />
End If<br />
End Sub
Here Form1 is a form having the KeyDown EventHandler and Form2 is just another form.
This code will not work if your Form1 has controls like Textbox and the TextBox control has focus, because the default value of the KeyPreview of Form is False. In order to make working of F3 even the TextBox has focus, You have to set the KeyPreview property to True.
I think this will solve your problem.
|
|
|
|

The following will demonstrate passing a value from one form to another.
I have Form1 class with KeyPreview property set to True and class variable of type Form2 which has a TextBox and a Public Property to get or set the TextBox Text. The Form1 class has three EventHandler which will be helpful for getting the Form2 class TextBox Text.
Add the following to the Form1.
Private f As Form2
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
f = New Form2
AddHandler f.Closing, AddressOf SetTextBox
End Sub
Private Sub Form1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyDown
If e.KeyCode = Keys.F3 Then
f.Show()
e.Handled = True
End If
End Sub
Private Sub SetTextBox(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As CancelEventArgs)
If f.TextBoxText.Trim.Length < 1 Then
MessageBox.Show("Type some text in TextBox")
Else
Me.TextBox1.Text = f.TextBoxText
f.TextBoxText = ""
f.Hide()
End If
e.Cancel = True
End Sub
Add the following to the Form2
Public Property TextBoxText() As String
Get
Return Me.TextBox1.Text
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As String)
Me.TextBox1.Text = Value
End Set
End Property
In the Form1 pressing F3 will open the Form2 and when Form2 is closed the TextBox text of Form2 will be set to Form1 TextBox.
I hope this will do.

I am trying to get word document title and number of word in the document
Currently, I can only get these properties from opening the document.
Is there any way to get these information without actually opening the word
document.

|

No, there isn't. You have to open the document. From what I can see in the file format, those properties are not stored in the file.

Thank you for your input,
This is the way to get the document property
Is there any way to open the word document silently?
The source code below is not working.
wordApp.Documents.Open strFileName
wordApp.Visible = False

how to display a word file as another application on a button click event

Use the Process and ProcessStartInfo classes in your button Click event handler to launch the .DOC file:
Dim procStartInfo As New ProcessStartInfo(fullPathToWordDOCFile)
procStartInfo.UseShellExecute = True
Process.Start(procStartInfo)

Hi, I'm a vb6 programmer. I prefer to use vb6 to connect to the database. I like to use DAO when connec to the database in Ms Access. But I need some people help me to do the following thing:
1. Give me a sample code with step by step explaination on using ADO to connect to the database without using using ADO data control.
2. Give me a sample code with step by step explaination on using VB.NET and ADO.NET to connect to the database without using using SqlDataAdapter, OleDbDataAdapter and the other control.
Note: If you can explain each function of these control (such as OleDbDataAdapter, OleDbConnection, OleDbCommand...) and the procedue to use it, it would be better.
Sometime I read from the books in the section of database system but it seem that the books is not explain too much clear.
Please help me!!!

Hi,
I'm trying to build a little service that can read mail from my pop3 server and inject then to my exchange server.
I've found a little DLL that can read pop3 mail but I need to rebuild all the message and resend it after via SMTP.
My question, is there already some DLL that can be used to send mail to exchange directly and to retrieve the pop3 mail directly in a good format
Thx

Hi there -
i have to implement a remote control for clients. this control should be able to lock the client-workstation - in simple words: monitor black, keyboard and mouse locked.
I develope the program in VB.net and on the clients a service will run. and within this service, i want to call a function that does the things for me i just talked about.
but i have no idea what function (i think it is a win API function in GDI32) i have to use to do the locking. or has anyone a better idea?
i am open for all suggestions.
thanks a lot for all replies.
happy coding.
tom

There is no one function that will lock the keyboard and mouse. You have to write code to hook the keyboard and mouse and eat any messages that are sent your way from the keyboard and mouse drivers. Unfortunately, you can't keep the user from using Ctrl-Alt-Del. This key combination cannot be trapped. There is a great article on CodeProject by Michael Kennedy called "Global System Hooks in .NET"
[^] that demonstrats this technique.
Your service must also be set to "Allow interaction with Desktop" so that you can put up a form that covers the entire desktop area and tag that form as TopMost.

thank you very much for your hints.
the article seems to be what i was lookin' for ...
do you have an example how this thing with "allow interaction with desktop" works?
anyway- thanks for your help.

Easy. When you instlal your service on the client, go into the Services control panel and find your service. Double-Click on it to bring up its properties and click on the LogOn tab. Make sure it is using the Local System Account and click on the Allow Service to interact with desktop checkbox. Click OK and your done.

The hook article is very interesting. but at the moment i'm thinkin' if i could not find an easier solution.
if i put up a form that covers the entire desktop and make it topMost - all i have to do then, is to avoid the user from closing the window by pressing the "x" in the upper right corner or pressing alt+F4. right? maybe i can catch this in a way easier than to hook the keyboard. but then - the user still can press strg+alt+del and kill the form in the taskmanager, can't he?

Yep. Locking a machine is not as easy as it would sound. There's really no other way of doing this. There is no function you can call to turn off the keyboard and mouse, simply because there is no practical use for it.
