Smartphone applications promise to be at the crest of a new wave of cell phone advances as the familiar process of using Microsoft dev tools can produce cutting-edge mobile phone applications. Because Smartphones are Windows-powered devices, developers can easily and inexpensively extend both new and time-tested business applications to mobile users. These applications will possess the necessary levels of enterprise functionality while integrating mobile phone features through the use of several easy to use APIs. This article looks at the basics of building a real-world business application for the Smartphone.

Handheld devices are becoming increasingly important nodes on wireless networks, allowing their users to connect to data stores and other central server applications over the network. But wireless network connections can be unreliable, requiring the use of store-and-forward messaging that does not need to maintain a continuous connection. Microsoft Message Queue (MSMQ) has supplied these features to desktop machines, and there is now a version for handheld devices. MSMQ for Windows CE allows users of embedded devices to perform tasks such as remote order processing and inventory update without worrying about the state of their connection. The benefits of MSMQ for Windows CE and how to install and run the service is covered here.

The last few years have seen dramatic growth in digital multimedia content and an increasing number of devices generating such content. Accordingly, the Autoplay feature of Microsoft Windows has been enhanced to handle these scenarios. This article presents samples that use the new features and provides advice on how to take advantage of these additions. The topics covered include Autoplay support for audio CDs and for DVD movies, the Autoplay registration process, event handlers, and how your software can cancel Autoplay when you don't want certain files interrupted. The download includes tools for diagnosing problems and to help the reader understand the shell hardware detection service processing of hardware events.

Handheld device users need to be able to synchronize with a main data store when it's convenient and, preferably, when the back-end database server isn't busy. SQL Server 2000 Windows CE Edition allows you to build a traveling data store that can be displayed and run on a variety of devices. SQL Server CE supports a subset of the full SQL Server package, and can be used as a standalone server or in tandem with SWL Server and IIS. The architecture of SQL Server CE, along with data manipulation, synchronization, and connectivity issues, are discussed in this article. Topics such as making your data public, choosing the right type of replication, and handling errors are also covered.

I have a project in which i want to detect networking devices in a user-defined I.P Range.

I know i have to use SNMP layer in order to accoplish this, but i don't how to do about it ?

Is there anyone who can guide me in a right direction? How it is possible to do all these things from asp.net web based application ?

1) I am aware that simply adding a "/m" to the site URL gives me the mobile URL but it opens the _layouts/mobile/mbllists.aspx page instead of showing the site default.aspx page. I want the site to be accessible on mobile devices in the same way as through internet browsers. What is it that I need to do?

2) Can someone also tell me how does MOSS handle mobile requests i.e the underlying architecture?

 

Thanks!!

I'm in the process of creating a ASP.NET page that will allow the user to upload PDF files stored on a CD onto the server. I have written a piece of code that checks for an .ini file and then goes into a specific folder that will save the PDF files to a folder I have specified on my computer. Now that works fine in localhost, but when I uploaded it to the server it stopped working. 

I get a 404 error everytime I click on the button to upload. I suspect i'm not correctly accessing the client's cd drive because the path to their drive isn't correct.

01.Protected Sub btnUpload_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnUpload.Click  
02.       Dim fileReader As String = "" 
03.       Dim intCount As Integer = 1  
04.       Dim strFileName As String = "D:INI FILES\"  ' TODO: CHANGE PATH  
05.       Dim fFile As New FileInfo(strFileName)  
06.       Dim files() As String = Directory.GetFiles("D:\PDF\")  
07.       Dim intNumOfFiles As Integer = CInt(files.Length()) - 1  

I need to develop a mobile page for foundation 2010 which contain two search textboxes and retrive fields from a sharepoint list. I never worked on sharepoint mobile pages. I am totally confused with SDK information. Can any one pull me out with some example..  thanks

The user/device CAL model for SharePoint is flawed in such a way that Microsoft is multiplexing every person connected to the Internet, which of course their products would strictly prohibit.  How is this fair.

If I personally buy both SharePoint Server 2010 Standard & Enterprise CAL, why should anyone else purchase another CAL on my behalf, this is multiplexing.

http://sharepoint.microsoft.com/en-us/buy/Pages/Licensing-Details.aspx

Some great new ways to use SharePoint, but it is crippled by the licensing requirements.  It is interesting to note the Licensing-Details page does not explain how SharePoint Server 2010 for Internet Sites works at all, why is that?

With over 100+ Million SharePoint CAL sales, how many are unique users (10, 20, 30 million remember they are multiplexing us).

Look forward to comments.

I currently use VS2008 and VS2010 for web applications and would like to start looking at creating apps for both OS's

Majority of the apps will be for myself and wifes phone, so want to play around with what can be done.

thanks. 

Greetings,

I am working on a screen grabbing application, which has a feature of grabbing a particular window. To make my application working with WPF applications with a good speed, I have chosen a "Direct3D hooking" approach for grabbing image of a WPF window, which means that I install hooks for some Direct3D calls, specifically, EndScene function. This works because WPF uses Direct3D for rendering windows contents.

However I ran into the following issue:
EndScene is called with several Direct3D devices, not a single one. I have looked into contents of each device's back buffer and found out that in addition to main window rendering, there are separate devices which are used for rendering of menus and tooltips.
However EndScene is called just with a pointer to a D3D device which is used for rendering and no information about whether a main window is rendered or a menu/tooltip. Also no information is available about position of menu/tooltip relative to main window coordinates (so that with that information I could compose a single image rendering images of window and menus/tooltips together).

So my question is: given Direct3D device which is used for rendering a window, how to identify a window (WPF window) by ob
