Broken download link

I've been digging up stuff on developing for my MP789 and was trying to pull the ado stuff from the development page here;

http://www.hpcfactor.com/developer/

To get this;

ADO 3.0 for Windows CE 2.11 & 3.0 SDK (7.3MB)

The link points to;

http://www.hpcfactor.com/downloads/details.asp?r=A10AB9F7-05BC-4863-9BCB-069C53E7DE99

but it doesn't seem to work. Perhaps the location changed with the new server?

Interestingly enough I can't even spell ADO let alone know for sure why I would need it! Just trying to get everything I can! (I do know it has something to do with data access, but that is about it). I did get the Windows CE development book listed here from Amazon for less than 3 dollars, total under 7 including shipping!

Wrong version of the default document was sitting on the server.
I've refreshed the root web.

Excellent! Got it now. Appreciate the super speedy response C:Amie!!

Sleep, pha, sleep's for girls
I look forward to seeing your programming at work

Ask and you shall receive! Here is a sample of my mad programming skillz! The next killer CE app has been created;



Ok, here is how this masterpiece will be distro'd;

C:Amie - you're on advertising (talk it up in the forums, recommend it to anyone looking for any piece of software - as you can see it is quite versitile!)

clintonf3 - write up a sweet review (hopefully you can get through all the features of this bad boy in a week or two, let me know if you need more time).

cmonex - I'm counting on you to port it to other languages for me (bit of a monumental task as this thing weighs in at over 4 lines of code. Only one was custom written by me).

cyberstorm - I'm in charge of the cash! I'll be reaping the huge profits this sucka will produce and not to worry, I'll toss some cash to the rest of this A-Team we've assembled.

Let me know if I've left anyone out. Also what do you think we should retail this thing for?

What does the program do?

I think he was just joking for now

I see

Tenjeangosi! It is obviously the basic hello world program, essentially just a print to screen command!

Now that program looks like some fun...I would like a Visual C for CE much more, though. But I think a certain forum member is already thinking about that one. Honestly, give yourself less work!

O-H m-y w-o-r-d

You are the 1337. How do I get this program, what does a license cost?

1000? 2000? 400,000?

I simply must have!

Well, considering the time I have into this program, it's usefulness, etc. I've decided the licensing cost is going to be up near 37 cents. As others have suggested, I may need to jump into C++ on this so as to squeeze every last bit of performance I can out of it. Right now, you click the Command1 button and in less than a second the "hello world" msgbox pops up. If I code it correctly in C++ I'm thinking I can actually get the "hello world" to pop up prior to actually pushing the button! Now that is fast!

I should have version 1.0 up for download within 6 months as I need to spend some serious time putting together the built-in help and having beta testers run through the program. I'll probably burn up my 3 weeks of vacation here at work to get this done a bit sooner as well.

(ok, BS off now!)

I have written a few programs in VB4 - VB6 so I am fairly familiar with that. I'd like to learn C, C++ and have started playing around with that on a Linux box (yes, I have coded "hello world" in C too!). For now, I'm going to try VB for CE and see what I can do with that - starting to get involved in real estate investing so prob write something for that. Also thought about an RSS newsreader, but appears others are working on that here - so I'll wait and see what they do.

Real time processing for a (near) real time OS!
Good show sir.

If you're insterested in the RSS reader, may be you could get together and work together. Two heads are better than one, as they say.

Thats a good plan. I think I'll start with my own project first, get myself up to speed a bit, then work on the RSS project.

Never mind...

Blimey, I turn my back on this thread for 24 hours and you all go insane!

We need a "muppet" forum
