I am using the Visual Studio 2005 Beta. I have created a simple web service
which makes a simple SQL db call and returns one field to return to the
smartphone. This WS works in a winforms app but when I try to call it via
the emulator I get the following error:

I've been developing (well, experimenting really) under both Visual Studio
.NET 2003 (and the .NET Compact Framework) and Embedded Visual C++ (4.2 SP3,
I think) and have had a problem running the emulator under both
environments.

I'm becoming increasingly convinced that the .NET Compact Framework borders
on useless, especially for the SmartPhone. I can't believe the number of
things they left out of the framework that have turned out to be incredibly
inconvenient to not have, some of which make me write ...

Does anyone know where I can download the Smart Device template for
VB.Net  2002 Version 7.0?  It doesn't seem to be included with my
version.  Thanks

Are there any applications, out there, which prints VisualStudio .Net source
code?

Is there really no way to right-align text in a textbox control on a
SmartPhone?  How smart is that?
I'm equally stunned that google turns up absolutely no
comment/remarks/observations about this?

Using VS, C#, CF 2003
I've got a combobox and a multi-select textbox.  When I click the up and

It could be great if anyone can tell me where I can get a http client sample
with source code for WinCE or Smartphone 2003 or gives me some hints on how
to write a http client for smartphone 2003.
Thanks.

does any one knows what database or data files Microsoft is using for MS
Pocket Money?

  I am trying to delete multiple files using the SHFileOperation api.  For
the filename, I am using the wildcard *.dat to delete all the .dat files,
but I get an error saying that * is a system file and cannot be deleted.
Here is the code snippet I have done.

I have created an application that sets the call forwarding on a smartphone
using the TAPI LineForward function.  It seems to work, and set the
forwarding as I had hoped.  I am doing an "uncoditional" forward ->
ForwardMode = ForwardMode.Uncond  //Pseudo code

I am figuring out how I can start developing for Magneto Smartphone. What
development environment do I need? Are there Magneto emulators/simulators
available? Are there Magneto Smartphone devices already available?

Quick question, hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
I've been looking on the web for information on how to retrieve info from a
