Jk published in his weblog(JKOntheRun) an article about the problem that maybe the new Windows Media Player 10 and the new "playsforsure" Features will never be available for actual Windows Mobile 2003 Pocket-PCs... thats a thing I am also worried about these days - because why the hell did I spent more than €600 for a device, with more than adequate memory capacity for all types of media, when it does not integrate in the existing "Media-World" that is drawn by available and upcoming Microsoft Products. Well have a look at the portable MediaCenter Devices... neat and really cool gadgets - a must have - you can sync them with your home pc´s - you can have the movies from your home´s MediaCenter on your portable MediaCenter, you can buy content from Microsofts Content-providing Partners... okay thats cool isn´t it. - But infact - I got that nifty "all-in-one device suitable for every purpose" called Pocket PC.... - Iam watching high-quality-mpeg4 movies on my PocketPCs for months... I listen to my mp3´s, ogg´s, aac´s and whatsoever... but those cool integration-feeling doesn´t come up with my PocketPC... and the Windows Media Player 10 for Windows Mobile would help that a bit - but what would sort things out: to have the same integration and Features that are available for other, compared to the Pocket PC dumb, devices.... And that´s why I started the "MTP-over-IP" Project. Because MTP is the Protocol all this cool devices use to communicate with the Applications... (there are some more like auto-discovery and so on...but first things first)... a working Implementation of MTP would make it possible that the Windows Media Player 10 on the PC could recognize the Pocket PC as a Media Device, as a Smart Device that it is... So. Due to quite heavy workload I have the moment I cannot do such a project alone - so I would like to ask everyone that is interested and capable of helping me with this project in doing so. At the moment the first lines of code are already written - I started the MTP Library in C# based on the .NET Framework at the Moment - the goal is to get the MTP Protocol working, on the .NET Framework and on the .NET Compact Framework... I published the first lines of code some days ago... you can grab it here (sorry that the blog-article is mainly in German...)

Hello i wrote a Webcontrol that tries to access a Textfile on the local hard drive (C:\news.txt) - but it does not work at all. Can anybody tell me how to get this work ?

Hello I have a class that holds some interesing Data. Now i serialize this class (BinaryFormater) and i store this Class into a "IMAGE" Column of a SQL Table. After that i retrieve the Column from the Table and deserialize it, so i can get my Data-holding Class back. Thats the theory. Does anybody know how to do this correct ? Does anybody have some samples ? mfG. Daniel Kirstenpfad

sometimes the harder way is the better way ;)

well i´ve managed it by overrideing the Page-Render-Method.... and it works

Hello i want to do that: you call the aspx like that: http://localhost/dummy/dummy.aspx?parameter=hello and the ASP.NET WebApplication should create a HTML Page and let the Browse Display it like that: ..blah... HELLO ! As you can see the HTML Page that is created by the WebApplication and later-on displayed by the Browser. in the future i will create Frame-Sets with this WebApplication - but all ways i tried ended in the fact that the webapplication-HTML-Output is always encapsulated into a form... but i need to output plain HTML Source that does have NO form at all.. (like for a frame-set). Any suggestions ? mfG. Daniel Kirstenpfad

Hello I´ve got an ASP.NET Webapplication that uses an unmanaged DLL to call some C++ functions. Everything works fine for about 1 month..but suddenly this Error occurs, obviously at the point i start the WebApplication and the DLL should be loaded: "A first chance exception of type 'System.BadImageFormatException' occurred in mscorlib.dll" Additional information: Format of the file 'blahlib' is invalid." Well. The DLL is correct. On another System exactly THIS DLL works correctly. What happened ? How can i fix this ?

because the desired layout needs them... Think of a "Windows Explorer" ... or a Newsgroups Reader... ... the Newsgroup Reader is the desired App.... - but how to do it without frames ? mfg. Daniel

Hi is there an easy way to use Frames in ASP.NET. Especially the fact that i have to pass Data between different Frames is difficult to handle. maybe you can offer me some samples ? mfG. Daniel Kirstenpfad

Hi maybe i´m blind - but i don´t find any way to define the default Button of a webform. The only behaviour i would like to get: The Webform starts... the user enters something...and when i now presses the enter key; a Button-Action that i define is called... Does anyone know how to do this ? Because obviously the Enter-Key is bound to nothing but a Refresh Action...

Well; i fixed my problem by using sessionstate Stuff... but there another problem just poped-off.... iam saving the very big datatable i´m displaying into the sessiondata Object. Okay.. iam restoreing it... but it seems that the sessionstate object does not make any difference between users. In fact every user opening my WebForm just gets the datatable of the last user.... does anybody know how to treat this problem ? mfG. Daniel Kirstenpfad

HiHo okay... i got a dynamic generated Page... and there is the VieState hidden Field in the HTML Source passed to the user... okay okay..its needed - but is there a way to shrink the size of this viewstate without loosing features...maybe cacheing it on the server itself ? mfG. Daniel Kirstenpfad
