Oh, If the drive is that bad I will be suggesting a third party tool. My questions were mainly based around making this a research project for myself, no timescales. I'm interested in understanding. Whenever I see pieces of software where people charge such a varying amount for, I'm always curious as to the true effort involved. I don't expect this to be a 3 hour coding project, but I would like to find more reading material on it

You can selectively enable/disable most of the rules but there isn't a way to edit a rule. Putting using statements inside the namespace is recommended for the following reasons: From http://www.thewayithink.co.uk/stylecop/sa1200.htm[^] There are subtle differences between placing using directives within a namespace element, rather than outside of the namespace, including: 1. Placing using-alias directives within the namespace eliminates compiler confusion between conflicting types. 2. When multiple namespaces are defined within a single file, placing using directives within the namespace elements scopes references and aliases. The spacing reccomendations are most likely due to screen space concerns. Anyway, the code you show would look like this to meet the StyleCop settings: if (value < maximumValue) { } Scott Dorman Microsoft® MVP - Visual C# | MCPD President - Tampa Bay IASA [Blog][Articles][Forum Guidelines] Hey, hey, hey.

Try using Expression Blend. I still prefer it over the XAML designer in VS 2010.

yes, the community can neaten things up, and/or remove something; I fail to see how they can add relevant but missing information when the OP is instructed to be as brief as possible.

I find more of my videos from Channel 9, Silverlight.net, Asp.net and one other site that is not coming to mind at the moment. It is easier for me to learn by videos also if they are clear enough. Really like it if they have a good example. I read too much as it is, so I do not get into books on technology much :) Rocky <>< Recent Blog Post: The Arrogant Apple!

Ha! I knew I was missing something. That article submission is a process! I had uploaded the file, but neglected to insert the link. All is well now. And thank-you for the feedback, I appreciate it.

Thanks for the recommendations. I was looking at those two earlier. I've opted for the Microsoft one as it's most likely I'll be able to apply as I go and thus get a firmer grasp.

Different version of the database. One solution I have seen is to manually create the DB on the handheld when the application starts rather than just copying the CE db. This allows the correct version to be used from the device standpoint. Really a PITA. Need software developed?

If I get it right: plugin folder: /program files/app_name/plugins download folder: /program files/app_name/downloads you can use Win API - GetModuleFileName(NULL, ...) If the plugin is a separate process it will return: /program files/app_name/plugins/plugin_name If not it will return: /program files/app_name/app_name.exe I hope from here you can adjust to /downlads P.S. In MS world you need '\', not '/' :laugh:

The most obvious answer was indeed the answer. My understanding of the .NET framework grew a little today. In order to have the SqlServerCe assembly available, I didn't need to have the .NET Framework 3.5 installed, I need to have Sql Server Mobile 3.5 installed. With that installed, and the flag set in the ASP.NET script I'm now happily manipulating mobile databases. Just for the record though, I'm not trying to write ASP.NET websites using mobile databases, I understand the limitations. I'm using the pages to call from a mobile application.

In my opinion, the FileVersionInfo class is a bit hidden to be commonly used. The best way to learn is to try and find the answer yourself and when that fails (or doesn't work the way you want/expect it to) ask questions. We all learn as we go, as everyone has different experience with the Framework. ----------------------------- In just two days, tomorrow will be yesterday.

Does the apparent lack of a closing tag in your XML message make any difference in how the code behaves? That's the only obvious thing I can spot. Have you run the code in a debugger to see where exactly the code is hanging up?
