.Net Compact Framework 2.0 Resize crash

[NewsBot]

The circumstances of the crash:

 

1. Verizon XV6700 (HTC Wizard) - has a slide-out keyboard

2. Windows Mobile 5.1

3. Uploaded app installed and running

 

I'm interested in knowing if those with other slide-out keyboard phones (or phones that can fire a resize event with the app in the background) can reproduce this issue.

 

 

Start the app; then:

 

1. Switch to another app

2. Toggle off the backlight

3. Slide out the keyboard

4. Toggle on the backlight

5. Switch to the app via Magic Button's icon

 

Crashes every time for me - no error message, no exception to catch - just gone.

 

It appears the unique circumstances of this bug are:

 

1) The base .Net CF app really wants focus onresize. If you give it focus with the backlight off and open the device, the screen resize turns the backlight back on.

 

2) Magic Button is presumably calling up the Form in an unexpected or incorrect way.

 

Installing the app is trivial - just copy the .exe file to the phone. No installer and the .exe runs on the phone.

 

Here's a link to the .exe if you prefer (for example if you're browsing from your phone):

ClickResize.exe
