    - VMINI, PING & 4.2 Residential Gateway Config We just recently switched my Residential Gateway project to Windows CE 4.2 (from 4.1) to pick up the new features for gateways and found an issue we can find no documentation on. We are using the "residential gateway" configuration for our project (ARMV4I). When we enable KITL, do a debug build and run it on our device, we are no longer able to PING the device or HTTP out to it. The device is also not able to PING the PC it is connected to. Since the device only has one Ethernet port we use VMINI to share that port between KITL and the Networking stack. This worked perfectly in WinCE 4.1 and it works perfectly if we do a retail build with KITL and VMINI disabled. What do we need to change between 4.1 and 4.2 in our VMINI network configuration to get this to work? Mark Moeller Qualnetics Corporation Tag: graphedit and wince 4.0 Tag: 38936

    - View a PDF from inside IE I've got a customer asking if it's possible to view PDFs inside IE like on the desktop. I did a quick 4.1 build and it appears you have to download it and then view the local copy, but I just wanted to get confirmation. Does anyone know if the PDF viewer can be used inside either IE or PIE on 4.1 or 4.2? I can try each, but I'm hoping just asking will be quicker. -- Chris Tacke, eMVP Advisory Board Member www.OpenNETCF.org --- Windows CE Product Manager Applied Data Systems www.applieddata.net Tag: graphedit and wince 4.0 Tag: 38914

    - Propagate the auto Device Name from bootloader into OS settings Microsoft.public.windowsce.embedded or Microsoft.public.windowsce.platbuilder Hi, I am developing for a headless device with Windows CE.NET 4.1. The idea is to read the Boot parameters network name that is automatically built in bootloader, and rewrite in the registry the machine name just after the initialization of the registry. The OAL will take BootParams.WinceBootArgs.szDeviceNameRoot and change the registry value [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Ident, Name] with BootParams.WinceBootArgs.szDeviceNameRoot in IOCTL_HAL_INITREGISTRY in OEMIOControl(). But always I am having exception in NK.exe (access violation) !!! In OEMInit() when I print with DEBUGMSG() the pBootArgs->szDeviceNameRoot it is not containing the same value that was built in the bootloader by CreateDeviceName() Why? Is there any other way to let me propagate the Device Name (and some network parameters (IP, ..)...) Which are built in Bootloader to the OS setting? Any samples, any link, ...is very appreciate. Thank you very much for you help. Tag: graphedit and wince 4.0 Tag: 38913

    - Good old SA1110 PCMCIA and CE 4.2 :) Hi, I'm having trouble with the PCMCIA driver for CE 4.2. When I warm/cold boot my device with a CISCO 350 series pcmcia card inserted the driver crashes (device.exe) and will not load any PCMCIA cards hereafter. However, if I have some other PCMCIA card inserted upon a warm/boot, e.g. a wired ne2000 compatible card, the driver loads without any problems. If I then unplug the wired card and insert a CISCO card the driver also loads fine. It seems there are some delay problems in loading the cisco driver upon startup. In CE 4.1 I had no problems (using SA1110 BSP with the same drivers as in 4.2). Below is some debug information: 0x8df93000: PCMCIA: DEBUGCHK failed in file d:\mckendric\public\common\oak\drivers\pcmcia\mdd\load.c at line 763 0x8df93000: DEBUG_BREAK @0306c144 MD=1f Ignored. 0x8df93000: PCMCIA PDCardSetSocket 0x8df93000: PCMCIA PDCardSetSocket Powersettings 0x8df93000: SetSOCK Powering Socket 1 .... .. . I looked up the line in load.c and found a DEBUGCHK(pPsock->hLoad == NULL); Does anyone know what the problem is here? Best regards, Bo Henriksen NordicID Tag: graphedit and wince 4.0 Tag: 38895

    - right shifted TFT display with CE4.2 hello, I connected a CRT and a panel VGA TFT display to an eValue ECM 3412 board. After some troubles I got a valid "picture" in the correct size on both devices. Now my problem is, that the picture on the TFT display is shifted to the right by approximately 2 cm. I tried a lot of different resolutions, and setups (even TV horizontal shift) but I found no way to correct this. With CE 4.1 the display worked correctly. I would be very grateful for any ideas because mine ran out. :-( regards, Oswald Boehm ========================================= BRAINCON Technologies ========================================= Software Development Innstrasse 24 A-1020 Vienna AUSTRIA Tel.: +43-1-61067 0 Fax: +43-1-61067-93 Email: o.boehm@bct.co.at http://www.braincon.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Tag: graphedit and wince 4.0 Tag: 38893

    - TFAT Questions TFAT Questions: System Description: We are using WinCE 4.2 on an Intel x86 platform with either a hard disk or Compact Flash (CF). We utilize the WinCE DOS Boot-Loader to boot WinCE. We us a hive-based registry which persists on the hard disk along with the nk.bin file and several other system configuration files and web pages. Currently the system boots on a DOS FAT16 formatted partition. We want to enable the WinCE 4.2 TFAT feature to provide maximum system reliability. 1) Should we format the primary disk partition as TFAT for maximum reliability? Can WinCE even boot from a pure TFAT formatted partition? Or alternatively, should we use a regular FAT16 partition with the registry configured to create a second FAT table, and then treat the partition as if it were TFAT? If the bootable partition can be formatted as TFAT, we have the following questions regarding preparing the hard disk (or CF) image. All WinCE documentation regarding preparing a hard disk and loading the DOS Boot-Loader refer to using DOS utilities. A)How can we create the pure TFAT16 formatted partition? Do we first have to load WinCE and use its format utility, or is there a TFAT format utility for DOS? B)Will the CeSys.exe utility recognize a TFAT partition, and correctly load the disk boot sector so the system will correctly find the DOS Boot-Loader. C)Can a TFAT formatted disk be duplicated using standard disk imaging tools such as Symantec Ghost or Power Quest Drive Image? These tools are commonly used in the PC world. If these tools will not work with TFAT, can you recommend other tools that will replicate a TFAT partition? If the bootable partition CANNOT be formatted as TFAT, then there are the following questions: D)TFAT will not transact files in the hard disk root directory. This is typically where we put our nk.bin file. Should this file, and all other root directory files, be relocated under the special "__TFAT_HIDDEN_ROOT_DIR__" directory so as to provide maximum system reliability? Or is this not necessary? 2) Once a CF disk has been used as a TFAT partition under WinCE, is there any way to delete files on the CF disk when accessing it through a CF card reading on a desktop workstation? It would be nice to have utilities to modify TFAT disks when accessed by a standard XP desktop system. It is a common development practice here to take a CF disk, then modify, delete, or copy files on it from a desktop workstation, then put the CF disk back into the WinCE machine and run it from there. Using a TFAT formatted CF disk puts a wrinkle in this practice, as the desktop OS (XP) does not natively handle TFAT. Any suggestions for ways to correctly access a TFAT formatted CF disk from a XP workstations? Thanks for Any positive information! Tag: graphedit and wince 4.0 Tag: 38866

    - Where are my drivers I'm building a BSP. BP-4.2. I've been using the BSP Wizard and things are going ok. I save my work and now when I come back I see only a portion of the drivers that I've entered. In particular I have an audio driver and dma driver shown. I see only these 2 drivers in the CATALOG window of PB and when I use the BSP Wizard and select that I want to add drivers to a BSP it shows me only those same 2 drivers. YET, in the CEC file that I've created with the Wizard ( and have not fiddled around with it by hand) I have many more driver entries. What's going on ?

    - PB 4.2 ignoring BOOTME requests So I've finally got my bootloader sending bootme broadcasts over the network (tested with a packet sniffer and contents look sane) but PB 4.2 just says "Waiting for BOOTME" . The device name appears in the list of Available Devices for download, but PB seems to be ignoring the bootme requests. The network setup is reasonably simple - the dev board and the second network card in my PC are connected via a hub. Is there any extra logging information that might help me locate the source of this problem? Many Thanks, James Tag: graphedit and wince 4.0 Tag: 38834

    - NDIS EnterCriticalSection DEBUGCHK in CE 4.2 - HELP! Hey guys. I've been dealing with this problem for a while now, hoping that it would somehow get fixed. Unfortunately, it's still a problem for me, and it's getting more annoying and more troublesome as time goes on. Here's my original post on the subject: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&safe=off&threadm =3f030f26%241%40news.microsoft.com&rnum=8&prev=/groups%3Fq%3DMurawski%2Bgrou p:microsoft.public.windowsce.platbuilder%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26oe %3DUTF-8%26safe%3Doff%26scoring%3Dd%26selm%3D3f030f26%25241%2540news.microso ft.com%26rnum%3D8 Here's a post from Steve Maillet where he lists it as bug #7 in his list of known CE 4.xx bugs: http://groups.google.com/groups?q=Maillet+group:microsoft.public.windowsce.p latbuilder&start=90&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&safe=off&scoring=d&selm=eB72 YpWQDHA.2316%40TK2MSFTNGP12.phx.gbl&rnum=97 Basically, what's happening is this. When I have a PCMCIA card in my device at cold boot, NDIS occasionally hits a DEBUGCHK in the kernel when trying to enter a critical section that has never been initialized. Since I don't have access to NDIS code, I can't really tell what's going on, but the call stack looks like this: <stack dump> COREDLL!EnterCriticalSection(CRITICAL_SECTION * 0x01fd98c0 PcmciaMemListLock) line 90 + 76 bytes NDIS!mapAllWindowsForHSock(_CARD_SOCKET_HANDLE {...}, int 0x00000001, int (_NDIS_PCMCIA_WINDOW *)* 0x03d6a954 npwMapToDevice(_NDIS_PCMCIA_WINDOW *)) line 478 NDIS!PcmciaCallBack(unsigned int 0x00000040, _CARD_SOCKET_HANDLE {...}, _CARD_EVENT_PARMS * 0x080afdf0) line 620 PCMCIA!CallClient(unsigned int (unsigned int, _CARD_SOCKET_HANDLE, _CARD_EVENT_PARMS *)* 0x00000000, unsigned int 0x01fa8aa0, _CARD_SOCKET_HANDLE {...}, _CARD_EVENT_PARMS * 0x00000000, _CLIENT_DRIVER * 0x2dfa5fda) line 600 + 24 bytes PCMCIA!CallbackThread(unsigned int 0x00000000) line 910 + 56 bytes COREDLL!ThreadBaseFunc(void * 0x03a6aecc CallbackThread(unsigned int), unsigned long 0x00000000) line 418 + 16 bytes </stack dump> Unfortunately, this problem is probably much more serious for me than it is for most CE platforms. Our device ALWAYS has a PCMCIA card in it, and it goes through a cold boot quite often. I seem to hit this problem almost every time my platform boots. To make things worse, about 50% of the time when it happens, and I try to run past the DEBUGCHK, I hit another critical access violation in NDIS. (I guess there's a critical section somewhere for a reason!) Does anyone have any new information on this problem? Any suggestions on what I should do? I've been dreading trying to call Microsoft about it directly. I haven't had much luck trying to describe problems of anything beyond trivial technical complexity with the first one or two levels of technical support. Should I suck it up and put in a call on this one? Thanks in advance guys. Mark Murawski Vocollect, Inc. Tag: graphedit and wince 4.0 Tag: 38827

    - Batch build makeimg wince300 Hello, I am trying to configure a command line build for our project under WinCE 3.0. I want to be able to make an image of my platform (from the build directory) without having Platform Builder installed. We want this particular configuration, so that the application programmer in our firm will be able to build new images without having to install PB (since they won't use it anyway). To realize it, I copied the build directory of my project (which have the files generated after the the buildrel phase) and I've created a bat file which contains set all the necessary variables and path. I also copied the C:\WINCE300\PUBLIC\COMMON\OAK\BIN\I386 (to be able to use makeimg.exe and the programs needed to create the image). To use this package, I copy all the files in c:\wince300Img and then I run my batch file to set the variable and then I called makeimg to build the image. I test it and it works great on a computer with PB 3.0 already installed, but It doesn't work on my test machines which don't have PB installed (which is my goal!) On my test machines, the makeimage build stop always after the InitRegistry phase, and before it copies nknodebug.exe to nk.exe (I know that before I compared it with a "working" make image). Here's a snapshot: (...) InitRegistry Finished (875 lines).

I must be forgetting a setting somewhere. I checked and re-checked all the system variables between my test machines and my machine with PB and everything is the same. I also try to copy the PB directory (and adding it to my path and CEPBDir variable) to one of my test machine to check if maybe a file was needed there... but I also had no luck.

    - Multicast problem (high Packet loss) I am using windows CE 4.2. I am testing Streaming Media using Windows Media Player which is Multicasted from a media server. I am testing on 2 types of X86 targets, one was build by our hardware engineer (lets say embedded bord)and other was VIA make. Both had exactly same components. When i am testing (playing) a multicast media on embedded board there is a packet loss of 20% with in the same network. But when i am testing on VIA board which is also on the same network these is a packet loss of 70%.( a bit surprising). In the case of TCP (unicast) both are working fine. I know it is not good to ask you all, What is the exact problem. But i need all of your suggesions in regard, where can be the problem. IS it the software problem? OS is same, all the drivers are same and of the same version. The only difference is on the target board i am using VIA CEPC and on the VIA board i am using MS CEPC. IS it the hardware problem? Both have the same Ethernet and more over in the case of Unicast (TCP) they r working fine. Is it the problem related to buffers? is there any way to increase the datagram buffers in CE 4.2. If i am developing my own application to play the media i can increase using some APIs. But i need a genaric one. Can all of you please give ur sugg. in regarding this problem.

    - Future of Data Access on Windows CE? Hi all, I have been reviewing articles on this newsgroup with regard to the use of ADOCE and CE.NET platform. The result of this review is that Microsoft recommends that for future development that ADO.NET be used for data access. I find this position problematic for headless devices. Currently, we use ADOCE to access an OLEDB driver for a third party from ASP pages on a headless device. Microsoft's stand is that we should move to ADO.NET. There are two problems with this for our targeted system. 1) ADO.NET requires the .NET Compact Framework and this is only available on devices with display. 2) The addition of the .NET Compact Framework to the OS takes valuable resources when it is really not needed for anything else. I understand that Microsoft have a strategy for rolling out .NET Framework and incorporating Windows CE into this framework, but I think that they may have dropped the ball on this one. When embedded devices are being developed there are many tradeoffs made between cost and functionality - this is true whether the device has a display or not. But being forced to add the .NET Compact Framework because we wish to have database access from the Web Server (for example), seems a bit heavy handed IMHO. It also (currently) mandates a device with a display. I think that some thought needs to be put into the realm of headless devices and the functionality that they require. What do others think? Maybe we can get Microsoft to re-assess this situation for the future. Regards, Brian Tag: graphedit and wince 4.0 Tag: 38801

    - migrate from 3.0 to 4.2 Now that I have finished work on wince 3.00 and is working on our platform and is stable :0)....We are moving to wince.net 4.2. Our BSP is based on the intel_sa1110_assabet. From what I have read The Intel SA1100/SA1111 (Assabet) Development Kit is no longer available for purchase. Therefore, the BSP for this hardware platform is not included in Platform Builder 4.2 and is no longer supported. If your development platform requires the Intel SA1100/SA1111 (Assabet) Development Kit and the platform directory for testing or other purposes, you can use the BSP for the Intel XScale DBPXA250 Development Platform, which has been enabled to support ARMV4 builds, or you can use another suitable BSP from a third-party vendor. However, Platform Builder 4.2 still supports the Intel SA1100/SA1111 (Assabet) Development Kit CSP drivers for the integrated peripherals on the SA1100 CPU or the SA1111 CPU companion chip. Refer to %_WINCEROOT%\Public\Common\Oak\CSP for these drivers. I'm confused, as far as I understand from the above once I have installed wince 4.2 (I am doing this tomorrow) I can install the ARMV4I option (I'm not installing ARMv4) I can build code for the SA1110 StrongArm. Can I copy the Intel_sa1110_assabet BSP from wince 3.00 and build an image to run on the assabet, it would be useful and would provide immediate feedback. Or will I have to take the Intel Xscale DBPXA250 and integrate/cobble in our drivers, oal, bootloader etc.. I don'y have a feel for how much work is involved, is it weeks or months.... Any advice would be appreciated Regards Tariq Tag: graphedit and wince 4.0 Tag: 38799

    - SIP disable Hi, On our platform, the user will typically have a keyboard. Usually, this keyboard is a full ASCII and numeric unit, so there's no need for a SIP. However, there are situations where a user might have only a numeric keyboard and want the SIP for rare alpha input (an operator's name, maybe, entered once per day). So, I don't want the SIP popping up, by default, any time an EDIT field is selected, but I don't want to completely remove SIP support. My initial strategy for this was to implement my own SIP, which would be the default. This default SIP would do nothing (no window popup, no resizing of dialogs, etc.) When this SIP was selected, then, it would be very much like having no SIP at all in the system (design goal #1 met). However, the user (or the user's application), could change the active SIP, if it wanted SIP input, and could then easily pop the SIP up or down at the right times (design goal #2 met). However, it turns out that none of the logical ways I tried to implement this SIP will cause this to happen. I've tried having the SIP return E_FAIL from its Select() method. This causes the SIP not to have a UI, but also seems to disable the other SIPs from doing anything. I've tried returning error codes from other methods, also. I've tried having the Showing() method call various of the APIs available to the SIP, asking that it be closed, but this doesn't work correctly (the frame window around the SIP is still displayed, although it has no client content). I've also done this for the Select() and other methods. Since I don't have source for the SOFTKB component, I'm out of ideas as to how to achieve my goals. Does anyone know of a DeviceIoControl() for the SOFTKB driver, other API function, a registry entry, or insider's trick that will allow me to either prevent the SIP from appearing, or cause it to immediately pop back down without disabling SIP input completely?

I now want the root of the object store to be mounted to the hard disk so programs, shortcuts, etc. will be preserved though reboots. To do this I replaced the RAM/ROM file system with the ROM only file system from the catalog. I also changed the mountflags for HDProfile\FATFS to the following: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\HDProfi le\FATFS] "EnableCacheWarm"=dword:0 "MountFlags"=dword:E I created the windows directory on my hard disk and copied all of the items from the release directory that appeared in the FILES section of my ce.bib. This boots successfully and runs with the following issues: The control panel is empty. File explorer is missing icons for some of its buttons. The start menu is empty past the first tier. Is there a section of files that I am failing to copy over, or a step that I am missing? Many of the shortcuts that are missing appear in initobj.dat is there something that needs to be done to that file? Is this the best way to go about this issue? I like the neatness of copying one file to upgrade the system instead of all the files listed in the files section like the RAM build, however cold boot retention is a must have.

    - how to build a stand alone CEPC? - booted from Hard Disk? I followed the "How to ..." to build a CEPC booted from hard disk. Everything runs OK except the last step - Remove the boot floppy disk from the CEPC, restart the CEPC, and then verify that the OS image boots on the CEPC. The CEPC hanging there - 1 cursor blinks at the top left corner - forever! If I disable KITL and rebuilt after the change. I can find the nk.bin in RelDir\CEPC_X86Release. BUT, after download, no Release directory in CEPC. So I do not know where the nk.bin located and how to copy it to the hard disk? Tag: graphedit and wince 4.0 Tag: 38770

    - NIC lost after reboot. I have implemented a hard reboot function like this in a aplication SetCleanRebootFlag(); KernelIoControl(IOCTL_HAL_REBOOT, NULL, 0, NULL, 0, NULL); This seems to reboot the CEPC fine, exept that the two network cards are not initialised. If I reboot by switching off and on everyting is ok. I use the CEPC with hive based registy on a x86 with IDE hard drive. The NIC uses the RTL8139 driver. Tag: graphedit and wince 4.0 Tag: 38756

    - Urgent - RDP protocol error in CE 4.1 Dear Greats, Already i posted one mail regarding the same below problem. We are using Windows CE Platform builder 4.1 with RDP builded. We are having ThinClient configuration. We leave the RDP connection for more than 9 minutes. Then the RDP session disconnects saying the Session is disconnected due to some protocol error. We have checked that any server side configuration is wrong. With the same server CE 4.0 client is working with our any problem. If their not inputs from Client side to Server side, session is getting closed. This is a big problem. I think, If their is not inputs (Keyboard / Mouse ) from client to server, that client side socket are some thing is getting closed. Is this a bug. can any one help me. This is very urgent. With regards, avkumar Tag: graphedit and wince 4.0 Tag: 38748

    - whether the wince surpport hard disk hi, I am using the pxa255 to develop my platform.Because I want to use the hard disk or CD-Rom as the input peripheral equipment, I am going to add a IDE controller to my hard platform, but I am wondering if the wince4.1 support the file format of hard disk or CD-Rom? If wince4.1 supports the function, how should I write the IDE controller driver,I mean what is the interface of the IDE driver MDD layer and PDD layer ,and if the file system of wince4.1 should be modify to adapt my requirment? Where can I find the driver example of wince4.1? thanks in advance an very much Tag: graphedit and wince 4.0 Tag: 38741

    - driver for data acqusition board on PCI bus works in debug kernel, but not in retail kernel Hi, I have successfully wrote and built a stream interface driver that interface with my data acq. board on the PCI of a CEPC. I have been doing all the work in debug version (the driver (dll) and the test program, and the OS). I was able to get everything working. Then I rebuilt the driver in retail mode. And I also built the release version of the kernel. Then when I run my test program, which subsequently tries to open my device using: CreateFile(TEXT("DAC1:"), GENERIC_READ|GENERIC_WRITE, 0, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, 0, NULL); It failed. It gives me error code 55. I have attached the system monitor tool from eMVC, and I can see that DAC1 is one of the device on the system. I also put in debug messages in the DAC_Init() of my dll, and I can see that it gets called properly, and does all the IO and memory mapping properly. However, it seems like the problem is with CreateFile(), and somehow it thinks that the device does not exist on the system. Any help would be appreciated. Oh, btw, I'm relying on the PCIbus driver to load my board. It worked perfectly in the debug version. Just when I switch to retail version, it fails. Joseph Tag: graphedit and wince 4.0 Tag: 38734

    - Problem mapping physical address (0xC0000000) on Arm Integrator hi, I posted this message before (through google) but it's seem like it's appears only on google I can't see it using my newsreader so I repost it again here it's go : I have a device with memory registers in physical address 0xc0000000, for which I am porting a driver from Linux to CE 4.2 using PB. The device is connected to the logic module stack on an Arm Integrator board running ARM920T CPU. I have tried mapping this memory into virtual address using the following: .... addr = 0xc0000000; PHYSICAL_ADDRESS mapped, port = {addr, 0}; ULONG inIoSpace = 0; PUCHAR ioPortBase; if (!TransBusAddrToVirtual(Internal, 0, port, size, &inIoSpace, &mapped)) printf("Error translating I/O Ports.\r\n"); ... Debugging into TransBusAddrToVirtual showed that the debugger was disconnected inside the call for VitualCopy (in MmMapIoSpace). The Linux driver maps (by ioremap) and uses this address successfully. Does anyone know what could be causing this problem? I tried also to statically map this address by modifying OEMAddressTable (after finding out that CreateStaticMapping function isn't implemented on Arm), but couldn't access VA_TEST. ... VA_TEST EQU 0xa5000000 ;first availble after VA_SC_BASE EXPORT OEMAddressTable[DATA] OEMAddressTable ... DCD VA_TEST, 0xc0000000, 1 ... ; ; End of Table (MUST BE ZERO!) ; DCD 0, 0, 0 AFAIK, there is no need for static mapping, using TransBusAddrToVirtual should do the job for any user-mode driver.

    - Unexpected GPEBltparms I'll throw this out to see if anyone has comments. The two arrows use for forwards and backwards in the windows explorer generate 1bpp-source blts on my 16-bpp video driver. What tripped me up was that they generate a rop4 of 0xb8b8 which is PSDPxax but the brush pointer is NULL. I was thinking that checking the brush pointer for NULL would limit me to the rop4 codes that don't involve a brush, but evidently not. What is the assumed brush if one is not given as part of the GPEBltParms structure ? Tag: graphedit and wince 4.0 Tag: 38705

    - DLL build problem hi all, I'm trying to make a DLL having a couple of methods and returning an integer value to my caller application. It should work in my Win CE.NET 4.2 device under ASP web pages. I haven't been able to make this work. Thus need help. First I used eVC++ 4.0 to create the DLL and downloaded it to my device, after which the LAN drivers mystically disappeared from my device and I was not able to test the ASP site. Additionally, the device hung after a few seconds. I also tried to reconstrct the DLL project in Platform Builder 4.2 by inserting a new empty DLL project and recreating the same files that I used in my eVC++ project. This however gave and error message like ... oleidl.idl Error PB2505: Error executing midl.exe. and I have no idea of how to fix this. It must have something to do with the .idl file, but dunno what. Please help me with one of my problems. Mike Tag: graphedit and wince 4.0 Tag: 38665

Is there any way I can do this. I have tried using the following CDEFINES= $(CDEFINES) -D_DEBUG in the sources file but it still builds a retail version of the dll.

    - SYSGEN_STOREMGR disappearing from environment This problem happens with both CE 4.1 and CE 4.2 We have a platform (based on Residential Gateway) that includes the Storage Manager component. When the project is first created it builds fine. At some point after the projects builds a few times the build will break being unable to find FSDMGR.LIB. This FSDMGR.LIB component requires the SYSGEN_STOREMGR environment variable to be defined. When I open a build command prompt and do a SET SYSGEN_ the STOREMGR is no long part of the defined environment. Yet, if I look at the project window the Storage Manager is listed as being included in the project. Sometimes I can just delete the Storage Manager from the project and drag it back over from the catalog, this fixes the problem for a while. Other times, it says the Storage Manager is in use and won't let me delete it. In either case if I try to define SYSGEN_STOREMGR in the Settings.../Environment dialog it says that the environment variable already set and won't let me set it. Something is clearly broken and is costing us huge in down time for our developers. Any ideas what might be happening here? Mark Moeller Tag: graphedit and wince 4.0 Tag: 38655

    - How to generate CAB files that are sub-processor specific? Hi I am developing app for CE .NET 4.1 devices. How can I generate CAB files that are sub-processor specific, like I need different cab file for different sub-processors w/ a Processor family like ARM (ARMV4, ARMV4I, ARMV4T). The cab files seem to distinguish only between major processor family i.e it has only one identifier for the whole Xscale/SA. But the targets are different for different sub-processors within this family. In CE 3.0 I used to have only SA1100 BSP for devices both SA/Xscale (ipaq, toshiba e740 etc). Does that mean for CE.NET I should have a separate installer for each sub-processor. I think I missed something? Plkease provide any hints.. thanks... Tag: graphedit and wince 4.0 Tag: 38638
