Hello all,
I would have a question here: is there any DC++ Hub Viewer for Windows Mobile?
I googled all the search terms I could think of and here's the result:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mobiledc (good if you got Symbian UIQ )
Maybe some would find a thing like this useful...
Anyway, ***have a nice day***.
--- PS ---
Saw that poll?
Yeah, Symbian gets tons of good software. You know, I'd love to try to run Symbian on my Dash.

For those who don't know what's DC++ (2 votes, this is getting bad... ) :
--- ENCYCLOPEDIA: DC++ HUBS ---
DC++ Hubs are... well, some tech thingies. (This was the description)
The hubs are used to host users. (Well, what else could they do and make them popular?)
The users connected to hubs can:
- chat in a main chat and in personal messages (PMs)
- share files from their computer (mostly pirated )
- respect some rules
You can connect to the hubs with a DC++ Client or Viewer, like StrongDC++ or oDC (those are the most known).
Almost all the hubs require a minimum share (ex. 5GB). That means you need to have at least that share to connect to a hub.

You want more info? Go to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_Connect_(file_sharing)
Hope that helps, newbies to DC++! (I don't want any more votes at "What's DC++?" !!!)
*** Have a nice day! ***
I've never used DC on PC or other devices. However, WMTorrent is an absolutely great app if downloading is your thing.
If there's code on sourceforge for UIQ, and DC is an open protocol, you could try to knock together a client yourself. Not a quick solution, but c'est la vie

Thanks for the encouragement, V.
Knocking it toghether may be a solution, but if I am not mistaken, it takes the WM SDK and VB Studio (commercial )... or d'you know a free WM-development application?
And where on earth is the source code at SourceForge?!

eMbedded Visual c++ 4 is absolutely free together with WM 2003 SDK (I am too lazy for links so please search MS downloads)
Apps written with it will work on WM 5 and 6 and if you know how to play with linkage you can even get access to new APIs not supported in WM 2003 SDK.
They give you full functionality and in my opinion is still the best way of coding for WM.

Do you have a rough guide on how to do this? I did a search and it seems that people are much happy to pay for a £100+ new Visual Studio and do not borther to find ways to get a free dev env for windows mobile. I think (think) the software I'm writting now runs on WM5, but I think there are quite some API missing in WM2003-SDK. Do you think it will work if I were to throw everything *.h stuff from WM5-SDK to overwrite WM203-SDK?
Ref:
No free dev env for WM5-SDK, for eVc+ or the VS Express - http://www.pocketsoap.com/weblog/2006/07/1656.html
Q: Do you think the hobbyist and $10-per-program shareware market is important for Windows Mobile? If so, can you explain why Visual Studio 2005 Standard ($249) is required for targeting WM5? eVC++ 4 was free. The WM5 SDK cannot be installed on VS Express.
A: Jack2, there are various evaluation versions of Visual Studio 2005 available that you can try out before making a purchase decision, there is one for Visual Studio 2005 Professional edition (90 days) and one for Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite (180 days),

There are basically two ways to use missing APIs (personally I never found one I really needed except maybe "ExitWindowsEx" once).
1) Manually unpack the MSI file for the SDK you want. (Sorry, I do not remember the link for the extractor).
Then in Project->Settings->Link you can just redirect the default libraries to the folders of that SDK. What you need are the headers for the prototypes (h files) and the actual lib files.
2) If its just one or two functions you can use LoadLibrary and GetProcAddress to dynamically connect with the DLL. If I am not mistaking this is call "implicit" linking.
Note that if you use method 1 your app will not run on WM 2003. If you use method 2 it will run on 2003 but get NULL as function pointer and fail to execute the missing API so this way you can make widely compatible apps.
P.S.:
In my personal opinion, M$ gave away an IDE at first to gain a wide application base for its new platform. Now that Windows Mobile is an established and even leading mobile OS they are back to their usual policy of selling expensive, bloated and overcomplicated software.
They simply no longer need freeware developers for WM.

Yeah, eVC++ would be good (if you know how to fight with it), but the installer asked me for a serial. Why am I always cursed?
PocketDC++ for Pocket PC *Awesome*
I found this cool DC++ Client for Pocket PC called "PocketDC++". It seems like it doesn't have Download support yet. It wil be awesome if Download option is added.
PocketDC++ homepage : http://mistysoft.jino-net.ru/
External download Link : http://xpojnt.iglu.cz/download/tklienti/pocketdc0.1.8.9.rar
I have a copy of DC++ Source code and a copy of VS .NET and VB as well as Dephi I even altered a version of DC++ a while ago....but yeah I think it would be great for on the go downloaders for file checking and user checking/count....excellent idea
Hi,
So i want my Windows Mobile device (Xperia) to emulate an HID device. I have seen some software that does this on bluetooth, but i'd like to do that using USB. So my question is:
Is this possible ?
The reason i ask is because i've found a blog post that talks about WinMo development and it says that OEM's use some special edition of “Platform Builder” to develop their own drivers. So could i write a driver using the public version of Platform Builder ?
BTW here's the post if anyone is interested: http://blogs.msdn.com/raffael/archive/2008/02/27/support-boundaries-for-windows-mobile-programming-developing-drivers-for-example-or-even-wifi-programming.aspx
Hi All,
I recently got a new toy, in the form of a pocket PC (mda varrio 3), and want to learn how to program for it in c# using Visual Studio 2008. I have experience of C, Pascal, PHP etc and have a few questions for you all:
1) I have websites with a mysql database and was wondering if c# was good for accessing the data on these websites within an application (not web browser) on my phone?
2) I’m struggling to find basic step by step tutorials that will help me write such an application. Could someone please point me in the correct direction?
3) Are there good websites with lots of c# sample program applications that I can see the code? I have looked on the Microsoft site, but the c# samples seem to be lacking.
Sorry if these questions have been asked before, I had a quick look and couldn’t find what I was looking for ….
Thanks in advance,
Reggie.
Hi,
Connecting from the Phone Directly to MySQL is a bad idea, ideally you should create some sort of webservice or remoting middle tier(afaik .net 3.5 CF supports this). The reason I say this is that the connection string will have to be embedded in the device and anyone with a bit of know how will reverse engineer it and be able to access you MySQL Server.
That said, connecting to MySQL in C# is easy: have a look here for some .net articles : http://dev.mysql.com/usingmysql/dotnet/ (just port the VB to C#).
Thanks
Dave

If you install the Windows Mobile 5.0 or 6.0 SDK (it was an option when you installed Visual Studio, assuming you didn't install the "express" version), or you installed it afterwards, you'll have a directory in C:\Program Files (or your equivalent) for the SDK (for example, on my machine the 5.0 SDK is here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK R2
Under there you'll have everything you'll need to get started. Especially interesting should be the contents of the Samples folder (PocketPC is for devices with touch screens).
Good luck, and have fun!
any c# guide how to connect to mysql would work
.net works the same in 99% of cases on pc and ppc
Thanks Rudegar, I thought as much - but couldn’t find a simple step by step guide including Visual Studio 2008 with example code.
Thanks godefroi, I have had a look in here, but there aren't many c# samples and I can't find one c# to mysql sample.
Thanks DaveShaw, I didn’t explain myself well enough. I have a website with a mysql database on it (on web server) and I wanted to be able to update the site from the net (eg my laptop) and when I am out and about (from my phone). I wanted to write an application that runs on my phone that can read and write data to its own local database (or this web database depending on signal) and then synchronise the local and the web database when 3G signal becomes availabile.
I hope i have explained myself more clearly?
We are a small UK company trying to develop an app for Windowsphone to allow integration with IPPBX's. WE are having problems navigating some of the voice path elements and trying to find an experienced developer who we could discuss these matters with from time to time. Happy to reward appropriately.
Is this a suitable forum for such or is there another that you would advise?
Thank You
Hi there,

I am newer to Android development but would like to know how to communicate with my Windows 8 (7 or XP) environment over Adhoc from my Android phone. I have researched this topic and I generally see people refer to the play store to download an app. I don't just want the functionality, but I want to know how to do it myself. Whether if there is a specific library I can use through android development, or if their is some command line option I can use via Android to do this.
So, how would I go about browsing files on my Windows machine without using an app? I know the Android O/S (at least what I gathered from the articles I have read) does not support this. So what are developers doing in their apps to create this connection? Or what is the best book to buy to help me understand how to do this?
Thanks!
