It is not recommended to put .NET dlls in System32. If you want to install it in a globally accessible place, then that place is the GAC (global assembly cache). It can be installed into the GAC using the command-line gacutil utility.

Before installing into the GAC, you need to give the application a strong name, to uniquely identify it. The .net sdk help files have all the details on how to do that.

C# logging utility for Compact Framework

I have a written small Compact framework application using c#. I now want to add logging functionality to help debug problems when in production.

What is the common methodology used for C# logging in Compact Framework? Are there opensource classes or in built c# classes I can use for this purpose?

I am thinking of something along the lines of Log4j, but even a very basic logger will do to begin with.

Thank you and regards,
Shibu

log4net is the equivalent to log4j (google for web page). Otherwise, .NET comes with some basic logging, through the use of System.Diagnostics.TraceListener. I do not know how much of it works with the compact framework.

Hello,

As i said in the previous posting I want to write a little code fragment where i get noticed when a new window or a new tab pane is opened on the PocketPc - independent of the application.

I think this is possible withe IMessageFilter-Interface. Can anybody please explain me how i can implement this with the IMessageFilter??

thanks in advance.

Did you set the account you want your service to use, "log on as service" rights. If not, you'll need to do this manually in the "Local Security Policy" MMC Console.

Hi,
one way to do this is by letting the shortcut open the same running application. However, that application should be made to run as a single-instance...if the app is yours, you can do that easily by checking out some of the articles showing how to make a single-instance application (this means that if your app is running, trying to re-open it again will not create a new instance, it opens the already running one instead.

How can I make NLS Sortkey in Resource

27-Aug-04 20:34

Hello,

You know there is some language which is not support in built-in NLS. I learned System.Globalization can accept custom sort key data or NLS+ sort data. And www.unicode.org give us the key file sample in format like:

E0040 ; [.0000.0000.0000.0000] # [E0040] TAG COMMERCIAL AT
E0041 ; [.0000.0000.0000.0000] # [E0041] TAG LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A
E0042 ; [.0000.0000.0000.0000] # [E0042] TAG LATIN CAPITAL LETTER B

And code page sample like:

0x3F 0x003F #QUESTION MARK
0x40 0x0040 #COMMERCIAL AT
0x41 0x0041 #LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A
0x42 0x0042 #LATIN CAPITAL LETTER B

So how could I make the resource file for sort key data and which format is right. How could I make the resource exactly.

I recently upgraded from VC++ 6.0 to .Net 2003.

my problem is in one of the function I am using

double length = pow(2, -4);

this was working fine in VC++ 6.0 (lenght = 0.0625), but with .Net 2003 I get lenght = 0.

can anyone please explain why this is happening??

thanks for help

Try this (or some other integer type - i.e. double, long, etc...)

int64 powerValue=int64(pow(base,power))

this tells the compiler that you want to use the old version of pow and not the new one with complex numbers

Handle your form's Load event and insert the code something along the lines of:

// Remove the border (titlebar also)
this.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None;
// Set the upper-left corner of the form in the upper-left corner of the screen.
this.Location = new Point(0, 0);
// Then size the form to fill the screen.
this.Size = new Size(Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width, 
    Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Height);

See if this is what you are looking for. Good luck on your game! Big Grin | :-D
