Hello, I've got the following problem. We use rapi.dll with the OpenNetCf wrapper api to transfer files to and from Windows Mobile devices. This works perfectly unless ActiveSync is actively synchronising data (e.g. Calendar information). Then the called method just hangs. Now my question (and I haven't found a solution to this so far): How do I detect from the desktop application if ActiveSync (or its Vista counterpart - forget that name as soon as I hear it) is currently synchronising to prevent file exchange during synchronization? I know there's Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Status, but as far as I understand this only works from the mobile device and I need it from the desktop. At least I haven't been able to import it into my desktop solution. We use .NET 3.5 with VB.NET but any usable solution would do. Thanks in advance. Marcus

Nope, I'm not offended. English isn't my native language so it's quite normal not knowing the correct expression for such things and now I've learnde a new word. Thank you or that :) Yes, that's what I meant. There are different collecting agencies depending on what kind of medium you use. "VG Wort" (free translation: "collecting agency word") is the agency which gets the copier fees, as far as I know.

Interestingly enough, here in Germany copier manufacturers pay a fee for each machine they sell (increasing price of course) which then gets tranfered to collecting societies (I hope that's the correct word). The same happens with recording media of (almost) any kind, from tapes to CD-Rs. As far as I understand that's because we're basically allowed to make copies for private use and if we do not break or circumvent any efficient copy protection to do this (yes, I know the question: Is a copy protection that can be broken or circumvented efficient? Has been debatted here since then. I don't know if there's any court ruling yet.).

Is this an announced feature?

Hello, does anybody of you know if there is the possibility (e. g. through third party plug ins) of enabling Visual Studio 2008 to use code snippets in .aspx files? I know how to use them in vb.net files (and cs and xml) but VS doesn't seem to be able to do this in aspx files(ctrl-k,ctrl-c gives a negative response). All my searches have only led me to sites / tools (Snippet Designer etc) which covered only the other languages. Is there a way? I haven't found one but maybe some member of this forum may know of a possibility? Thanks in advance
