Hi,
i need to run a function at a specific time to switch the status of my
application.
I tried the code suggest by Peter but the EventWaitHandler.WaitOne()
didn't works properly....the function is raised immediately!?

Any clue??
Thanx in advance
this is my code:

private bool bAppExit = false;
private EventWaitHandle notifyStartEvent = null;
private OpenNET.Threading.ThreadEx threadStart = null;

public void ThreadProcStart()
{
SystemTime nextrun = GetNextDate(short.Parse(cboInitH.Text),
short.Parse(cboInitM.Text));
DateTime runtime = nextrun.ToDateTime();
// Create event for notification.
notifyStartEvent = new OpenNET.Threading.EventWaitHandle(false,
OpenNET.Threading.EventResetMode.AutoReset,
"CallStartEvent" );
// Set up notification.
Notify.RunAppAtTime(
"\\\\.\\Notifications\\NamedEvents\\CallStartEvent", runtime );
// Wait for the notification event to fire.
notifyStartEvent.WaitOne();
// Let the notification subsystem know that it's
// done with the event.
try
{
Notify.RunAppAtTime(
"\\\\.\\Notifications\\NamedEvents\\CallStartEvent", DateTime.MinValue
);
}
catch//(Exception ex)
{
}
// Close event handle.
notifyStartEvent.Close();
// If the event was fired because the application
// is exiting, do nothing else; just return.
if ( !bAppExit )
{
// Notify the user that the event fired.
this.Invoke( new EventHandler(ChangeState));
}
// Clear thread to indicate that we're done.
threadStart = null;
}


Thanx in advance

First, post the actual code. There are several syntax errors in what you've
posted (like it's OpenNETCF, not OpenNET and we have no ThreadStart), so I
know it won't run. Second, what is the value of 'nextrun'? Did you try it
using Now with a timespan of say 30 seconds added?

hi ctacke,
sorry the namespace is OpenNETCF

the nextrun value change everytime the function calculates the new time
with the arguments

i get the code from:
http://vault.netcf.tv/VaultService/VaultWeb/login.aspx in
'Sample/Notification'
but this application too didn't works correctly !?!

ps: the code is compiled correctly

Well that code does work, in general. Most likely, whatever you are doing
to calculate when to fire the event is responsible. Set the target time to
5 minutes into the future and verify, in that case, whether the event is set
initially or not. If you ask for an event that is close enough to the
current time that it's within the resolution of the alarm, the event is set
immediately.

I tried the sample application.....but, i repeat, the event start
immediatly...also if i set 5 minutees delay!?
In my app i set the event the day after....and it's fired immediatly

I don't know what to tell you. I just ran it, too, and it works perfectly,
right out of Vault. Make sure that you are creating an event name of the
right format. In fact, just use the source *exactly* as it is in the source
control system. You're compiling the latest OpenNETCF source, too, right?
How are you triggering the wait in the sample? What value in the edit box?
Which radio button? Have you stepped into the various calls that occur to
OpenNETCF methods in the thread to make sure that they look reasonable?

Just use the sample code directly from OpenNETCF. It's a known-good
starting point. If it works, then you can proceed from there. If it
doesn't work, we need to look at your hardware and the OS running on it.

so....
i've installed Vault client and re-downloaded the Notification example,
re-compilated the solution and
both in emulator and in my Qtek S100 (jam i-mate ...) the function is
raised immediatly
During the debug the code goes on even WaitOne().....i think that this
function has to wait the event is fired rigth?
instead the code call WaitOne and goes on immediatly so the function is
called
Please help me .... i can't continue my application without this
feature

if you want you can send me the version which works to you (source and
exe).
Thanx again


ps: http://www.pocket.at/ppc3/htcm.htm here you can find all my
hardware spec

If you have SDF v1.2 installed on your development machine you may have
problems since this sample relies on functionality added since v1.2 - which
is why you need the latest source from the vault. Try renaming all the
OpenNETCF.*.dlls in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\CompactFrameworkSDK\v1.0.5000\Windows CE and then deploy Paul's sample
application. All being well this should deploy the v1.3 versions and work
correctly.
