CF couse Hard reset on Symbol 8800

[Ofer B.]

Hi
I'm trying to run a CF application on Symbol 8800 device.
the same application is running on IPAQ 2200 with no problems. (with out the
barcode)

On the Symbol 8800 there are times that I do a soft reset and the device is
doing a Hard reser and delete all data.
I talk to symbol and they said that the reason is that I'm writing (in
code) to wrong places in memory.
I use only manage code and the symbol class to .net (for barcode).


do any one have any idea?

Thanks Ofer

Are they referring to the location you are storing your data rather than
what method you are using to reset the device? Ensure your data is stored in
permanent storage eg storage card or flash file store equivilents.

Ofer,

I use 8800s with no problems, but if you're only using managed code and the
symbol SMDK, I don't see how you could be writing to memory that you
shouldn't. Are you using PInvoke or are you running out of memory?

Ginny,
I don't see too, and no, I did't use any PInvoke, only manage code.
The same project use running on IPAQ 3660 with SPS 3000 for scanning barcode
with no problems.
I use the Symbol 8800 With CE.NET OS, not PPC 2003.

I realy have no idea how to check the reason for these hard reaset ;-(

I'm storing my data is (Sql CE) in the application directory, not on a
storage card. The symbol 8800 (Ce.Net) have no storage card.

I don't use any method to reset the device. I to a soft reset (by pressing
the buttons, not by code), and the device is doing a hard reset.

Ofer,

I also use the CE version of the 8800. Would it be possible for you to try a
different unit? Are you using SP2 of the .NetCF? (Although I never had any
problems with other builds.) I don't have any ideas other than that I'm
afraid.
