SMDK for .NET Barcode Control and MC70

[Henrik Kehm]

Hi All,

I develop an application which runs productive on 20 Symbol MC9000
Series Devices.

I use :
- Visual Studio 2005, C#
- "Symbol Mobility Developer Kit for .NET v1.6"
- Compact Framework 2.0 SP2
- Windows-CE 5.0 for MC9090
- Windows-CE 4.2 for MC9060

On all devices the Barcode control from the "Symbol Mobility Developer
Kit for .NET" works very good: Drop a Barcpde Control, implement the
OnRead event handler --> Done.

Today, I got my hands on a Symbol MC70 device (Windows Mobile 5.0, CF
2.0 SP2) with UMTS/GPRS support. On this device the Barcode control is
not working. Even the Example from Symbol Technologies is not working
(%PROGRAMFILES%\Symbol Mobility Developer Kit for .NET\v1.6\Windows
CE\Samples VS2005\C#\CS_BarcodeControlSample1)

Is there anyone, who uses sucessfully the Barcode Control from the
"Symbol Mobility Developer Kit for .NET v1.6" on a MC70 Device ?

Regards
Henrik

Have you contacted Symbol's (Motorlla) support?

I never experienced this with Symbol, but I had the same problem with an
Intermec device. In my case, the libraries and drivers for accessing the
barcode reader was just not present on the device. After flashing it with
the latest ROM it worked fine.

Yes, I did - but I´m also interested in "Comapny independent" Information.

The Problem was solved with the following steps:

- Disable the Datawedge Application
- Change Target Platform to Windos Mobile PocketPC SDK
