What is the future of windows embedded compact ?

as the architecture has changed totally on windows embedded phone 8, and there is windows 10 on ARM. so what is the future of this platform?

I don't believe Microsoft can let you know exactly. But it may be a good idea to move towards WPF for new applications developed as WPF has much greater capability, is more in line with above Windows 7 OS apps and even though more difficult to learn than
Windows.Forms is a move forward in developing UI's with much greater flexibility than Windows.Forms. Also nothing is being upgraded with regard to future development for Windows.Forms while apparently not the case with WPF (see bottom link).
Support for Windows Forms will end whenever Microsoft removes the capability from .Net Framework I suppose. As far as I know
Windows 10 supports Windows Forms applications because whatever .Net Framework comes installed on it supports Windows Forms applications.

.Net Framework 4.6 which downloads as 4.5.3 for some weird reason supports Windows Forms.

What video format (including embedded audio) is able to be viewed and heard by both OSX Lion users and Windows users?
You have to make a distinction between the container format (eg, AVI, MKV) and the video/audio format (eg, DIVX). For instance, without additional software, QuickTime can play .avi files with the IndeoVideo codec, but not .avi file with the DivX codec). Further, you have to make the distinction between what can be played using an independent player, eg, QuickTime Player, and what can be played within the presentation software (Keynote or PowerPoint).
You can refer to
<http://mac2.microsoft.com/help/office/14/da-dk/powerpoint/item/7acce321-36fb-48d 6-8c76-12cb3a0063ee>
for suggestions. In practice, for presentation clips, I think you're limited to MPEG-2 and MPEG-4. I don't know if an additional MPEG-2 QuickTime component is required under Lion, you'll have to check that yourself. So, in the end, it's MPEG-4. Both Keynote and PowerPoint Win/Mac should be able to handle it.
can anyone suggest a safe application that I can purchase from the apple app store that will allow me to convert video files
What's a 'safe application'? And why do you have to buy it from the App Store (yuck!)?
Handbrake, as mentioned by X423424X, is free and works very well. There are probably others, too.
this forum is the best place to learn
Perhaps, but it may not be the place to get answers to this question. Try a PowerPoint Mac user forum, they would have more experience in these x-platform issues. This forum is oriented more towards the hardware side of the MBP platform.

Developing Windows Embedded Compact Application (installation issues)

I want to develop an application for a device running Windows Embedded Compact 7
I have downloaded the Application Builder for Windows Embedded Compact 2013 (VSEmbedded_AppBuilder.exe) from here and installed it on my machine
I am following the instructions from
this page which says that there should be a "Windows Embedded Compact" node within the New Project dialog box. There isn't
Additionally, if I launch VSEmbedded_AppBuilder.exe I get a window that only gives you the option to Repair or Uninstall and displays no information other information other than the fact that it is the Application Builder for Windows Embedded Compact 2013
that you are trying to run
I have tried repairing and uninstalling and it doesn't help. I have also tried restarting my pc between installing and opening visual studio. Doesn't help either
What am I missing here?
I'm running Visual Studio 2012 Professional on a Windows 7 machine. All I want to do is build an application for my Windows Embedded Compact 7 device
Thanks

You say that your device is running Compact 7
You downloaded a Visual Studio plug in for Compact 2013
You provided links to Compact 2013 documentation and tools
Since your device is running Compact 7, it would make sense to target your app to run on Compact 7 - if you target Compact 2013, your app
will not run.
You will need to install Visual Studio 2005 or 2008 - which one depends on what you plan to do.

Cannot install Windows Embedded Compact, bad authorization code

Registered for Windows Embedded Compact 2013, received authorization code, downloaded installer, started installer, rejects authorization code that copied and pasted [did not type by hand]. Repeated entire process, received identical authorization code,
again rejected. What's the trick to installing Windows Embedded Compact 2013? Thanks.

Tried exact same process for Windows Embedded Compact 7 and had no difficulties. Apparently Microsoft has a problem with product keys for Windows Embedded Compact 2013. Case closed.

Transparent Windows Forms in Windows Embedded Compact 7

I am looking for a solution to make the background of a Windows Forms in a Windows Embedded Compact 7 device transparent. These approaches have failed:
- override void OnPaintBackground with empty code block
- using the open source project AlphaMobileControls

Sorry, I thought that article had more detail. Now I look at it again it's rather less useful than I thought.
bitblt is copying pixels.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa452879.aspx
The way this would have to work ( afaik ) is you copy some proportion of the bits out the rectangle behind your window.
If you want low opacity rather than completely transparent you would merge them with whatever colour you want the background to look a bit like.
You'd be painting a picture onto the background in the onpaint.
If your user moves the "transparent" window then you need to copy the background from the new location.
If it were me I'd push back on the requirement.
Hope that helps.

Windows Embedded Compact 7 - M09 2014 Update Rollup with System.Exception

Dear all,
I applied all Updates on my BSP up to Windows Embedded Compact 7 - M09 2014 Update Rollup included.
After a Clean Sysgen I got a System.Exception in my C# application when I try to access Font Property, this Exception is't raised before applying latest update.
at Microsoft.AGL.Common.MISC.HandleAr(PAL_ERROR ar)
at System.Windows.Forms.Control.get_Font()
The problem could be related to this fix inserted in the Update 39?
Component: Dot NET CF
140930_KB3002285 - If the "Font" is specifically set on the Main form of an .NET windows application,
an exception is observed when the window/application is closed on a Windows Embedded Compact 7-based device.
Anyone have expreienced the same issue?
There is the possibility that in Update 40 this problem will be fixed?
Thanks
Stefano Bianconi

The Update 44 (February 2015) contains an other fix for a Font Property related Problem (http://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3039843).
This may fix the problem you're seeing.
In case this does not fix the problem: If you provide me with proper repro steps (a small sample application will do) so I can try to get this problem fixed.

WINDOWS EMBEDDED COMPACT 7

Hi ,
I am having Windows Embedded Compact 7 setup on XP SP3 pc. I need to install a SDIO wifi driver on my Windows CE device. I have tried to install it via cab file and got installed successfully.
The SDIO Wifi driver got loaded but it stopped runnning. It seems the SDIO commands not reaching the WIFI card.
I have also checked the driver by including it into the OS image through Platform registry and bib files. It worked fine.
Is there anything i need to do for the CAB file generation for WEC7 ?
Best Regards,
Dinesh

Grrr I just that : GetWindowLong/SetWindowLong on GWL_WNDPROC crashes
in Compact 2013
It has been accepted by Microsoft as a bug. We hope to get it fixed. Otherwise you cannot hook on WndProc at all for ARMv7 on Compact 2013.
Windows Embedded Compact 2013 only disappointment over disappointment. I would have been better to stay with Linux.

What is the difference between Windows Workflow Activities And SharePoint Workflow Activities in Workflows?

Hi All,
What is the difference between Windows Workflow Activities And SharePoint Workflow Activities in Workflows?
Thanks in Advance!

Hi,
Both are developed with .NET framework, per my knowledge, the biggest difference would be the environment they applied to: one for Windows platform, one for SharePoint platform:

What is the Future for MAEMO 5 Ahead ?

Hello Everyone, Greetings from India !!
I know for the fact that this forum is mostly for people who have already bought the N900 and who may have some technical queries about their product. But with the N900 just been launched in this part of the world, people here have just started to understand, explore and use it. So I am one person who is just about to, on the verge of buying the N900 but have some concerns...
Maybe this question would have been discussed here a lot of time, but since I am new to this community, I thought I will try to know this from you guys. With Meego already been announced as Nokia's new OS for Tablets and smart phones. What is the Future left for MAEMO 5. Will there be no future support, Firmware updates for MAEMO as Nokia now, has decided to Abandon MAEMO. Will there be any Upgrade in Version for MAEMO. If some one like me who has liked the N900 in its current state also, but is worried about the MAEMO 5 Future in terms of version upgrade and firmware update. when compared to Android, which keeps coming out with improvised versions...Ver 1.6, 2.1 and now 2.2 slated to release... How should one look at this entire thing..
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
I will be purchasing this handset next month too.
My opinion is that due to the fast moving technology of this market new handsets,o.s and software will always be round the corner.
To hold off to see whats round the corner would make you end up not getting anything new for fear of not getting the next new thing.
The beauty of the n900 is that it wide open for software etc with someone always out there providing newly written stuff.
My advice is to do your homework and read up on all the info , ends users views and if the fone/internet tablet still ticks all the boxes you need then buy it.
Just remember its an internet tablet with making calls technology added on so it wont have all the usual options you would get on a standard handset.
Perform a search on here and you will see lots of interesting threads what will answer most of your questions you could have with the n900.

Be happy !!

What is the future of Oracle Discoverer?

I posted some of my thoughts on this one http://www.appsbi.com/2007/03/19/what-is-the-future-of-oracle-discoverer-freeware/
and thought who could be better to answer other than Discoverer users themselves. Do you think it makes sense to release Discoverer as a freeware tool or best as an Open source tool?
regards

Hi Bob
You mustn't believe everything you hear from an Oracle sales person. The sales reps have a vested interest in making you believe that OBI SE, which includes Discoverer, will not be here because they earn a lot more commission if they can get you to use EE.
They are right though in that Oracle is developing a tool that will migrate the Discoverer metadata into the Siebel metadata but this is only aimed at making you upgrade to Siebel - which is about 4 to 5 times the cost of Discoverer by the way. Siebel won't be replacing Discoverer, it will be an alternative. A nice, sexy looking, powerful alternative, yet an alternative nevertheless.
Discoverer will still be here and you will then have a choice as to whether you stay with standard edition or migrate to enterprise edition. Now of course if you have plenty of money there is nothing stopping you from upgrading, but for most people that option is out of the question right now. Oracle would need to reduce the price for EE if it is to tempt most of the Discoverer organizations into EE. Heck, there are hundred of companies still using 3.1 never mind 10g Release 2. And how many folks who have 10.1.2 have upgraded to 10.1.2.2, even though its been out a few months now and fixes all those GUI issues that they have?
From what I know, Oracle never makes claims for a product more than 2 releases out and Discoverer certainly has 2 releases in the pipework. There's a release 10.1.2.3 due out in a couple of months and a major 11g release next year. After that it would have a support life of a minimum of 5 years, even if they stopped it after 11g, during which time anything can happen. As you know, 5 years in IT is an absolute age.
Your posting certainly makes for interesting reading though and I'm sure there will be plenty of commets. If you hear any other interesting snippets I'd love to hear.
Best wishes
Michael
