This project builds a command-line program that lets you open or close any or all of your CD-Drives. To display the program’s usage, run the program […]

Environment: Embedded Visual Tools, NT4 SP5, PocketPC The class FtpSockClient shows the functionality offered by the pocket PC device for socket data transfer. The class is single threaded, based on the blocking CSocket calls.

Environment: Windows CE 2.11+, Windows 2000, Windows NT, Visual C++ 6 Unfortunately, the HPC/PPC devices (running Windows CE) lack a ping utility. Therefore, because the HPC PRO SDK (version 2.11+) does have a subset of the ICMP functions, I was able to write my CEPing utility which can be helpful for checking the connection of […]

Very often, such servers are not properly configured, so, system dlls like ISAPI Extensions are allowed to view the contents of each drive, including CDROM and other removeable drives. Just open the project, compile it […]

Recently, I had to try to find a control that would show associations between several items. I’ve looked through the CodeGuru Web site to find out such a control. Unfortunately, I did not find any control that met my expectations. In fact, I found a control that was quite similar, written by Chris Copenhaver. The […]
