Every CF developer knows and uses the “Copy if newer” option from time to time, when deploying on Compact Framework. This way the deployment is a little bit faster. Since I tried to do some C# OpenGL ES stuff on my HTC Touch Diamon as a private project, I came across a real annoying [...]

AMUSE provides now the functionallity to use Embedded Devices based on Compact Framework using HTTP communication between the simulation in Enterprise Architect and the state machine on an Embedded Device.
I will describe it based on a Windows Mobile 6 and “Sending a Message” example.

Introduction
The goal of this entry is to show how a flight booking process with different web services  and a mock-up GUI can  be simulated and verified with AMUSE. The focus is on the orchestration of the web services, which are part of the flight booking process.  In a next step it would be interesting to [...]

How to find out, if your app is running in an emulator, or on a real device?
In July’s beta, Microsoft has moved this property from System.Environment to Microsoft.Devices.Environment namespace.

//enum DeviceType contains: Device, Emulator
this.IsEmulator = (Microsoft.Devices.Environment.DeviceType == DeviceType.Emulator);

Today I want to show how we can use “Enterprise Architect” and the LieberLieber “Amuse” Plug-In to integrate “ASP.NET Mvc Web Application” into a flowchart.
Here you can see the final solution.

Fulltext Search On XML Files using XDocument
Given the following XML-Document:
<Customers>
<Customer>
 <Name>Jerry</Name>
 <Age>26</26>
 <Addresses>
<Address>
<Street>Main Street</Street>
<Address>
<Addresses>
<Customers>
1) How would you implement a fulltext search to return a List of Customer-Names?
public void StartRead(string searchTerm)
{
XDocument xDocument = XDocument.Parse(GetFile());
//get all retval-nodes (allthough it’s just 1)
var customers = from cmd in xDocument.Descendants(”Customer”)
select cmd;
//loop through retval-nodes (still only 1)
foreach (XElement cust in customers)
{
if (RecursiveParser(cust, searchTerm))
{
this.textBox1.Text += [...]
