You will need to talk to the manufacturers of the phone and ask them if they provide an SDK (software development kit). If they do, the SDK will be a collection of dlls that expose the various features of the phone to the PC as an API, you will be able to reference these and call whatever you want. If you're really lucky, the manufacturer may even directly have .net API which will save you some messy .net/c++ interop.
(If you have an SDK, the best place to ask will be the manufacturers forums)

Hi Everyone,
I have created an windows application in c#.net. Now what I want is that when I run the application, it should not be visible in Task Manager. Please help. Thanks in advance.

Hi astrovirgin,
I would say that this is not possible. Your application will run as a process on your system, so you will see the process in the task manager.
By the way, you are not developing some evil software, are you???
Regards
Sebastian

That is first thing that comes to mind when someone asks this type of question. What is it they are developing that they want to hide so bad?

Why would you want to do that? The user should always retain control of their PC.

Its not possible. Any application running will show as a process in task manager. And I agree with Simon, the user should always be in control of his/her pc. Would you not want to be able to kill something when it lets your pc freak out..?

If it is just removing from the application tab of task manager then set ShowInTasbar property to false for the application.(Yes it removes the application from both task bar and task manager).
If you wish to hide the process as well, then I think you should look into the NtQuerySystemInformation Function. MSDN will surely help you find something useful.
Just make sure you handle your code very carefully.

No it won't. There are plenty applications that can be seen in the Task Manager that have no visibility in the Taskbar.

I just tried it and it worked for me(just from the application tab not from the processes). I am not sure about the cases where it wont work. Probably in ones where "Minimize to tray" feature is provided.

What valid reason could you have for wanting to do this? The whole point of showing things in the Task manager, is to provide information about the process and give the user the chance to kill the application if it starts to run away. The only applications I know of that try to hide their presence are generally malicious.

There isn't any valid reason for it. As mentioned in the other post by others, the user must be able to control their PC and be able to kill processes when they have to.

That is the impression I get.

That is easy, just replace taskmgr.exe by something you develop yourself.

And then get hired by Microsoft. Head up one of the OS development teams. It shouldn't take too long.

No thanks. I would consider rewriting Task Manager if I really felt a need, which I don't, but it has to end there.

For a C# (or .NET) application, this is not easy at all. The main issue is that the .NET framework did not provide the necessary API to acomplish this task, so you have to reside on Win32 API, or, even on kernel API.

Just saw ur question... Actually this is VERY possible. I made a code that hides the process from process tab. When u look at running process number, it stays the same, but the exe process isnt on list anymore. Quite hard to do, but possible

Hi all,
I have a control that builds up queries to be run against both Databases and the .NET DataTable, in this control the user can select individual parts of the query to be case-insensitive. To generate this query for the database is easy because I can just surround the field names and variable with UPPER() e.g.
SELECT * FROM ... WHERE UPPER(name) = UPPER('test') AND surname = 'test' AND town = 'test'
Now I know I can make an entire datatable case-insensitive but I don't want to do this, I want just individual parts of the WHERE clause to be - is there any way of doing this in my DataTable Select()?
Thanks in advance, Tom

Most databases I know of, are case-insensitive by default.
What is the problem?

The .NET DataTable I'm querying on is case sensitive because I've set it to be, what I want a user to be able to do is to add a load of conditions and set just certain ones to be case-insensitive so they may wish to only find a record if the location field matches 'Home' in that case, but also to use the same query to match any records where for example the name field contains 'Test' in any case.
The issue is with .NET DataTables rather than databases because my DB is case-sensitive and to acheive the same result I just wrap UPPER() around the fields I want to make case-insensitive, I hope I've explained this a bit better?

Yes
From what I can see, case-sensitivity can only be set on the DataTable as a whole, and not individual columns.
Perhaps, someone else knows of a way?
