What's Up Lately (See more blog entries...)

Process Manager version 1.2.1

My original intention was to move across all my PocketPC applications to PocketGear. But the number of downloads of the application from this website continues to increase. Therefore, I have updated the site for the newest version of Process Manager, version 1.2.1

Website now updated, it took me a while to find some time to do this. No updated screen shots yet, but the new CAB file is available for download.

ProcessManager version 1.2.1 is now available on this website:

Missing controls in Toolbox - Visual Studio 2008

I encountered a problem today when I went to use the RTM version of Visual Studio 2008 Professional, with a Windows Mobile 5 SDK SmartDevice project.

When I created a Windows Mobile project, the controls in Toolbox were all missing. Changing target SDK's (i.e. switch to PPC 2003 SDK) worked, but reverting back to the Windows Mobile 5 SDK caused the problem to reappar. The usual method of right-clicking the Toolbox and then selecting Reset Toolbox did not help.

After some searching of Visual Studio folders and a bit of Googling, I finally found the solution. You need to navigate to the following folder:

C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0

(Path for Windows Vista, Windows XP is most likely a different path)

And within this folder are some hidden files. Simply remove the following files:

"toolbox.tbd", "toolboxIndex.tbd", "toolbox_reset.tbd", "toolboxIndex_reset.tbd"

Excellent Windows Mobile related website

Rabi Satter's website and blog is an excellent source of information for Windows Mobile and related technologies.

The WiMo kiosk mode information and SQL Server CE performance articles are an excellent read.

Be sure to visit it http://www.satter.org.

Background Shuffler

Finally completed the all new and improved version of WallpaperRandomize. BackgroundShuffler is a .NET version 2 tray based application the allows you to have a random image for a specific amount of time as your desktop wallpaper.

Tested on Windows XP 32-bit, Windows XP 64-bit and Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit.

As usual, the software is completely free. No spyware, adware or trojans. In fact for the most part, I write this software for myself and put it on here for others that may find it useful. Enjoy!
