Hi Guys,
i'm working hard on a windows mobile application in visual studio 2008 (vb). What i want is that the application retrieve a table from a website.. based on user input.
for example there is a website.. where a text fiel exist wich is called country. when i'm filling that text field with United Kindom and push the button submit, the website is showing me a list of al the cars in the united kingdom.
But how can i fill that text field in my visual basic application and how can i show the results in my visual basic application?
I hope somebody can help me!
I would imagine you would have to go through the following steps:
1) Make form application in VB.net with some fields to put data in (text field select box)
2) Open the .txt file from the webserver
3) Parse the contents of the .txt file
4) Put the values that you parsed out of the .txt file into a select box or display them on the screen.
I'm sure if you have any programming experience you can find how to do this by looking at the documentation on the Microsoft website.
There is also a thread right here on xda-developers with great information sources: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=260
Goodluck!

Hey. I'm running xelecin's 2.26 custom rom. In the description of the rom contents there is a part that reads,
"I have included 3 other T-Mobile USA customizations which do not automatically install.
T-Mobile_HotSpot_Login_Utility.cab - Self titled.
T-Mobile_OZ_Instant_Messaging.cab- The built in IM client.
T-Mobile_WinWAP_Browser.cab - T-Zones WAP Browser.
If you need one of the above items launch Total Commander and change the path to \extended_rom\ to run the installs."
where is the \extended_rom\ directory located? I'm in total commander and showing all files (including hidden), and I can't find the directory..
Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Adam

Because no device has been specified, but it´s definitiv no Wallab-device , i moved the thread in the general part of the forum. But normaly a little bit reading should make all clearer for you.....
Stefan
In Total Commander, type '\extended_rom' in the address bar at the top. As soon as you finish typing, you'll be taken to the directory where you'll see two subdirectories, Autorun and T-Mobile, and 3 files. Open the T-Mobile directory and you'll see the .cab files.
BTW, this is for the Wizard.
i was searching every where for a way to edit the list programs in the launcher and i finally came up with my own method,,,, may be there are easier ways but then i missed it..
using registry editor( i use resco ) edit the lines in the hklm , software, htc, htc home, launcher
there are folders from 0 to 8 open.. they are listed according to the icons on the screen.. open them and create a new string value with name "path" and
string ,the program u want to use
eg: for one mobile note i used
Name--- path
string--- \windows\onenotemobile.exe
the string value depends where you have installed the program....
You can use gs finder to copy the path and then paste it in the sting box....
Problems
i found that i was unable launch programs installed in the storage card.( may be some error that i made) , so i made them appear in the start menu and then took the link from there and pasted it in the string value box....
eg: the link for a program that i use in my clinic daily , thomson clinical drug index, i use the link, \windows\start menu\thomson.lnk
Hope all this made some sense... if some one has found some cab or easier way to do this, please post it here....
Sorry for all the confusion and the mistakes that i made ( busy to edit them )
Hi
Maybe I misunderstand your question, but If you want to edit the program list, you must only select the last icon in the second row.
Now you can delete the app of your choice. Now, when the place is empty, you can press the placeholder and select the program you want from the appearing list.
That's all.
ROFL, dude, you took developing/programming to whole new level!
i am embarrassed. sorry
I'm looking for a good editor (free preferred) that would run on the PPC. Word is fine for many things but I don't want to be restricted to the .doc, .txt etc file types (specifically I want easy access to skin.xml files for editing on the PPC).
Can you suggest a good editor? I'm having NO luck today searching for one. I was directed to PPC_Edit and it works fine EXCEPT that it will not browse outside the predefined file structure to where I saved the Skin.xml file
Or how do you change Word to see all file types?
Thanks,
NK
Do you mean a text editor. If so, you might look into Pocket Notepad, found at http://tillanosoft.com/ce/pnotepad.html. To see more files than the normal file dialogue box gives you (although it won't work with Word, Excel, or Powerpoint), look for the file dialogue changer. You need to have "gsgetfile.dll" in the Windows directory for it to work.
PocketNotepad did not work for me :-( And it does allow browsing all file structures.
The "DEL" anf Backspace do not work correctly on my PPC (WM 6 Maglite version on Axim X50V).
NK
UPDATE: I rebooted the PPC and it works now. Wow ... self correcting software ...Cool
You could always connect it to a PC and use a PC editor to edit.
Alan
CKE (http://www.animaniak.com/cke/cke_main.asp) is the best text editor I have found for the PPC. It has syntax highlighting and many other useful features. Give it a go.
Cheers
Mark

**IF YOU HEVE BEEN HERE PLEASE READ THE WHOLE POST SINCE IT IS ALL UPDATED!!!
- "Cab Album" support:
A Cab Album is collected information about many Cab files in one place.
Application will here "create" a new Cab Album by scaning folder. (It is possible to include subfolders in search path.)
Since creating a "Cab album" could be time consuming (depends on how many files it has to scan),
collected information - an "Album" can be saved (in xml structured file).
So next time, you can just use the same information by "loading" a saved album from disk (without scaning again).
Creating album is the process that will
a) detact all *.cab files in scaning folder (and subfolders)
b) for each found cab, program will try to locate "_setup.xml" within .cab file and extract information about real / target file names and paths
c) all information will be collected to memory
After that you will be able to
a) browse an album by cab files (from the tree)
b) browse an album by target file names (also from the tree where these files are grouped an counted)
c) search / filter the album by target file names
Also you can
a) click on "save" icon to save the album.
b) double click on cab file (lef side - tree) to open separate window tith that cab info
c) double click on file on the right side to extract it on disk

***CHANGE LOG END
DID you ever try to find some fine resource (manila file, bmp for phone skin ... or whatever), which you know you have seen somewhere. And you are sure you got it somewhere on your hard or stick or ....
DID you ever wanted to create a new skin based on a few existing skins in some cab files.
DID you ever ask yourself - what will that XY.cab install on my device? Will it remove parst of my customization that I don't want to be changed?
In case you didn't this app is probably NOT for you.
But if you DID then you probably know that
a) most cab extractors will NOT extract files with the correct filenames on your hard disk.
Instead of some "5acc5861_manila" that will be installed on your device, what you get on your pc is some file named "0CABA635.001".
The real target file name "5acc5861_manila" is actually set in _setup,xml which is part of cab file for mobile device.
b) it is hard to find all "5acc5861_manila" resources on your hard disk without decompression of all cab files, and fixing a problem described before - see a
What do you think about a new point of view - an "Album" view.
Album view will help you to "scan" your hard disk folders, searching for cab files, extacting information from them (without extracting cab files on disk), and collecting all important information in one Album list.
That's not all.
Since "scanning" or building an album could be time consuming, you can "save" the album (xml file structure) so next time you just open existing album and you got all information very quick.
You can search albums - for example "Assets*.bmp" will find all files located in album containing dialer skins.
With another few clicks you can extract found files on disk and use you favourite tools to view or edit them.
Prease note tha this application is extended version of
"[APP][v2009-09-17] Cab utility - RENAME cab content/files to normal target names" located at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561533
Requirements: .NET framework 3.5 on your PC
BTW: If someone know some good .NET library for converting / previewing or updating _manila files please do let me know.
Also if someone would like to use some of functionality of this app in other projects ... I will be glad if I can help providing details about my libraries.
I hope you'll like it...
Weeeeeeeeeeell
Awesome thank you!

Missing drag & drop support was anoying, so I add it to v2009-09-21.

Yes in some systems you can get this error. On my laptop I have no problems but on my home PC I had exat the same error.
What I did to solve this problem is to replace version of CabLib, and also I put 2 dlls in the same folder where is application.
You can find CabLibFix in additional attachment in first post. Just put those files in the same directory (replace existing CabLib + additional 2 new files).
Please do let me know if that helps
Could not load file or assembly 'Cablib
Please note that v2009-09-22 should fix problems with error "Could not load file or assembly 'Cablib.." on some systems.
"FIx files" are included in that version, so I removed "fix..." archive.
However if you still have problems please do let me know,
thanks
v2009-09-22
v2009-09-22 works like a charm.
Thank you again
v2009-09-23 now has image / text preview + info about manila type of file (xml, SQLite, Lua_Script, Mode_9 ...)
Also you preview manila IMAGE files (decoded using cfc.exe to png)
The only inconvinience is that I manage to hardcode path to cfc.exe ( "c:\windows\cfc.exe").
Sory!
Error on win64 with an 'any CPU' build
Hi
We are using your CabLib.dll v2009-09-23 to load cab files inside our c# application. It works really well, except for one case.
When we build the application for target 'any cpu' and then install on a windows xp64 machine, we get an error message:
System.BadImageFormatException: Could not load file or assembly 'CabLib, Version=10.3.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=5c838b77b53f84a0' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.
File name: 'CabLib, Version=10.3.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=5c838b77b53f84a0'
Everything works fine when we change the target to 'x86', but that then causes problems with our test suite. The 'Any CPU' build only fails in x64 machines.
I was wondering how you build your DLL and if you have any ideas to help us fix this problem.
Here's my config:
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008
Version 9.0.30729.1 SP
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 3.5 SP1
The build and test is on an xp64 SP2 machine.
-- update --
I've also found that aiCabExplorer.exe has the same problem on my win64 machine. I see you are including the 32 bit C run time DLL's which you provide in the release - that appears to be the problem, as the OS is trying to dynamically link against the 64 bit version of MSCOREE.DLL, KERNEL32.DLL, OLE32.DLL and OLEAUT32.DLL and doesn't like mixing them up.
So the solution, I think, is for you to build without explicit dependencies on the 32 bit libraries. Is there any chance of getting a version like that?
Thanks,
Mark
Hi,
I use this app all the time.
Super duper.
Thank you very much.

[B]Do not publish this software in any other way than linking to this XDA-Thread! [/B]
Introduction
Hi Folks,
I was annoyed by the not-free sync software for Thunderbird out there, so I decided to create my own (free). I hope you will find it useful.
Summary
Would you like to sync your WM 6.x device calendar with your Thunderbird/Lightning calendar ?
WMTS is going to do that (in the future ) !
It is a dektop application, that lets you decide in which way you want to sync: device -> desktop, desktop -> device, manual comparison, etc.
All you need is ActiveSync / WMDC.
Pictures
yet to come ...
Features
(* planned ; ~ currently under development)
export mobile calendar / sync with Thunderbird/Lightning
import calendar entries from TB-Lightning onto your mobile device
sync your phone contacts with your TB contacts
Installation Instruction
* Download the zip-archive
* unpack into seperate folder (for example: "\Desktop\WMTS"
* connect your Windows Mobile phone via ActiveSync
* run the application
Change log
0.2a
should work on x86 !
extended exception catcher.
benchmark function finalized (but not ready to use in alpha)
completed mobile output file

Versions
0.2 a (2013-03-15) : For alpha testing
0.1 a (2012-09-27) : Pre release
Things that should work
Run desktop app
deploy device side app onto device, if not existing
establish connection to device side app
receive a file that contains (not quite perfect) image of mobile calendar
Alpha-testers guideline
Alpha-Testers needed
I would like to have someone to look at the current version, to get to know any issues that might occur on other machines than mine.
For example x64 / x86 related problems, .NET-Problems , and so on.
Help
If you think you can help me in any way, for example handling the POOM, reading calendar data properly or accessing the SQLite database of Lightning and such, feel free to post here
Instructions
load the latest file
clear previous folder on your phone
WMTS-folder (desktop application) can be stored anywhere, for example Desktop
Be sure to have .NET Framework
Be sure to have ActiveSync/WMDC installed
read Instructions-file
please report errors and bug in this forum !
errors are stored in a log file
Version
0.2a
...
0.1a
Information
At this early stage of development, WMTS is only capable of reading data, so there is nearly no chance that you overwrite your calendar data.
wmts-mobile.exe will be stored in \WMTS\
Use:
connect phone via ActiveSync
Button "Present" : veriefies existence of mobile device and mobile side application
Button "Receive" : after it's done, look into WMTS-Folder, if a xml file has been created
list of bugs
program freeze during collection
after a failed export, wmts-mobile is blocked on the phone, which means it can't be overwritten or deleted or started
wmts-mobile exception cause crash, so no log is available
Details (Development)
How it works
Device side application
desktop side application
desktop app calls mobile side app via RAPI
mobile side app gathers required information and ouptuts it to file
dektop app copies file to PC
desktop app reads out data from Thunderbird
desktop app executes procedures, chosen by user
Data format
XML
maybe switch to JSON ...
To Do
[done]improve device side output file
implement SQLite handling to access Lightning
create compare mechanism
implement import function on device side
Hi
test positive.
Program connected, transfered data from device into file data_mobile.xml
XML contains only tasks.
Tested with HTC HD2 WM6.5 29022
thanks.
next test release will be up in about two weeks, including a first attempt on Thunderbird/Lightning database access and fixed appointment output file and a benchmark function to measure transfer speed.

as far as i understand, "ical parse" is only able to handle ical-files, no connection with thunderbird (you may have to import the files by yourself)
