Symbol Mobility Developer Kit v1.5 for .NET

Symbol Mobility Developer Kit v1.5 for .NET

Software Revision

1.05.05

Software Type

DEVELOPER TOOL

Software Description

The Symbol Mobility Developer Kit (SMDK) for .NET provides all of the tools necessary to develop C# and VB.NET managed applications for Symbol Mobile Devices. These tools include class libraries, sample applications, and associated documentation. SMDK for .NET allows Microsoft® .NET Compact Framework developers to programmatically access Symbol value-add features of the mobile devices.

This release contains the following:

1. New Fusion Class Library to manage and diagnose WLAN profiles and Adapters.
2. New C# and VB.NET samples to illustrate the usage of the Fusion class library.
3. New device support for WT4000 Wearable computer.
4. New device support for VC5090.
5. New VS2005 CAB Sample (Samples.Net.CAB) for mass deployment of Samples.
6. Enhanced samples to support keyboard navigation (for non-touch screen devices).
7. Enhanced samples to support multiple screen dimensions and orientations.
8. Extended barcode assembly to support AZTEC and MICROQR decoder types.
9. Extended ResourceCoordination assembly to allow enabling all triggers.

Patch 1 extends the capabilities of the Fusion class and provides fixes for some of the issues in the Barcode class.  The patch SMDK-M-1.05.05-P1 contains the following:

1. New capability to create multiple Fusion WLAN objects in one application.
2. New capability to open the Fusion API in "COMMAND" or "STATISTICS" mode.
3. New property "EventResolution" in WLAN to set the time interval for reporting Adapter.SignalQualityChanged events in adapters
4. Symbol.Fusion assembly no longer throws an exception when the device is resumed after suspension.
5. Fixed the DPM reader params issue. The Barcode class will not attempt to disable the DPM feature, if it is already enabled by an external tool. However, the Barcode class still does not provide any mechanism to modify the DPM settings.
6. The Barcode class no longer throws an exception on certain devices where the SetReaderParams() method fails.
7. Fixed Barcode design-time component so that it no longer fails at runtime.

Warning: The patch SMDK-M-1.05.05-P1 is valid for use with SMDK v1.5 for .NET only. Any attempts to use it with prior versions will lead to instability in the system.
