I thought that the second schema link would help you with file format info. There's a C++ XML parser called rapidxml if you want to try that route. But you still need the visio xml schemas. Otherwise you'll have to download vdx converter source code Saxon (it's Java) also on sourceforge, vdx2svg has a dependency on it. I have the Pro version of Visio (2002) and it has the developer reference. I will take a look and see if there's more info for you in that. :) Q. Hey man! have you sorted out the finite soup machine? A. Why yes, it's celery or tomato.

Visual Studio should be able to give you some of the features you are requesting for. Too much of heaven can bring you underground Heaven can always turn around Too much of heaven, our life is all hell bound Heaven, the kill that makes no sound

Thanks Nish, That did it... I knew it had to be simple. Cheers. M.

One way to do this is to have a series of catch blocks. try { // Bind to the native AdsObject to force authentication. Object obj = entry.NativeObject; } catch (System.UnauthorizedAccessException e) { MethodToDealWithThisTypeOfError(aParameterFromEventArgs, anotherParameter); return false; } catch (System.DivideByZeroError e) { MethodToDealWithThisTypeOfError(aParameterFromEventArgs, anotherParameter); return false; } finally { MeassageBox.Show("This happens regardless of errors", Application.ProductName); } and so on.

Mike Doner wrote: Were you suggesting all the C# stuff being in a .DLL, then calling those functions from the C++ side? Sort of. C++/CLI provides the combined use of Native Code and Managed Code. So it creates a very natural environment for marshalling. By building your C# proxy into an assembly it becomes available to C++/CLI projects as a Managed class when you add the Reference to the assembly. Mike Doner wrote: Is there an easier way? An easier way to perform Marshalling? No, marshalling is nothing new[^]. It is what it is, we can't change it.

I was able to do what I wanted to do by using a tool called SoapUI. This allows you to create a mock-up WebService using the provided WSDL. Thanks for your help. Mike.

Hi Mark, Thanks for your reply. We are using CreateFileMapping(), MapViewofFile() etc. We use this basically to give names to blocks of memory. We load each table off disk into blocks of memory managed by CreateFileMapping/VirtualAlloc. I guess the biggest problem is the addition of new objects to a table and the memory we reserve. Each table has a maximum number of objects... We reserve up to the maximum size required for that table and commit up to the number of active objects. When we reserve memory, its counted towards the 2g process limit. We reserve the bytes so that when a new object is added, we just need to commit "objectsize" at the end of the last committed bytes, we're not moving memory around or doing any further juggling. Is there something I'm overlooking with File mapping that might help us out? Thanks again for your reply.

That's generally the right approach. I've never really done much desktop drawing code, although there have been a couple of occasions when I've prototyped something on the desktop since desktop development is typically more rapid. I don't know if you're using MFC or not. MFC for Windows CE as supplied with the Pocket PC 2003 SDK is basically a cut-down version of MFC 6.0. You should also be aware that the compilers in eVC 4.0 are based on the Visual C++ 6.0 front-end, and their standards compliance is therefore similar to VC 6.0. If you are using MFC, you'll find most APIs are present. If not, there are a significant number of drawing APIs which aren't available on Windows CE, because they were redundant (for example, MoveToEx, LineToEx are not present because Polyline can do single and multiple line segments) and were therefore removed to make space. MFC simply wraps up these APIs. Windows CE does not support mapping modes. All drawing is done in pixel units, equivalent to the desktop's MM_TEXT mapping mode. You can only create very simple pens (one-pixel-wide dashed pens, any width solid pens, null pens). The path APIs are not available. I had thought that there was a difference between how Windows CE did FillRect and how the desktop does, with regard to filling the right-hand and bottom edges, but it appears that if it was ever a problem it was fixed before Pocket PC 2003 - I can't reproduce it. Perhaps I'd become confused between this and BitBlt. If what you're doing isn't device specific (for example making use of barcode scanner hardware or other OEM APIs), I've found that making use of the emulator does speed up development a little (not relying on a physical connection). If you're going to use an emulator, use the one from VS2005 because it's ARM-based, like the devices, rather than being x86-based like the ones supplied with the Pocket PC 2003 SDK. If you don't have VS2005, download the Microsoft Device Emulator 1.0 package[^] and the appropriate emulator images. To use this with eVC 4.0, run the Device Emulator Manager from VS2005 or from the Device Emulator install directory (DvcEmuManager.exe). Right-click the image you want to use and choose Connect - the emulator starts up. In ActiveSync

Unless your PDA has external screen support you could use SOTI pocket controller or dotpocket. Both these programs will display the image on a laptop/desktop that could then be displayed on a projector. Good luck! Chris

If this is a Microsoft AD domain, set up a print queue (talk to the local network admin), once all of the computers are printing through the queue, it’s fairly (as memory serves) to audit the queue. Any time a user prints write app that monitors the queue and provided it’s the correct printer sound the alarm. Simple enough, huh Alternatively, and I have no idea how on earth you would do this but, couldn’t you just set up a small infa red deal where the paper is spit out of the printer? Any time the beam is broken sound the alarm. Similar to the way small business have enunciators at the doors to let clerks know someone has come in. I'd love to help, but unfortunatley I have prior commitments monitoring the length of my grass. :Andrew Bleakley:

I think URLDownloadToCacheFile(...) and URLDownloadToFile(...) are what you are looking for.  There is an article here on CP that demonstrates at least one of those functions.    Peace! -=- James If you think it costs a lot to do it right, just wait until you find out how much it costs to do it wrong!
