My Device has
Windows Mobile 6.1 Classic
Screen Resolution: VGA

I was used Bonsai for Palm OS.
I'm changed my device from Palm to PPC.

I was installed Bonsai 4.2.8 for PPC.
I was runned Bonsai for PPC.
PPC has displayed waiting cursor.
Then, Bonasi don't running. Not display any message.
I'm checked Bonsai log file(updater.txt in Natara folder)

I was find error message (PlatformNotSupportedException).
Hum....
I think,
My device has .Net CF 3.5.
But, Bonsai required .Net CF 2.0.

So, problem occured.

Please, solve this problem.

Thank you.

PS: I don't removed .NET CF 3.5

Thanks for the report. It is strange that the String.StartsWith call would throw a PlatformNotSupportedException exception.

• What device do you have?
  
• Is it a Windows Mobile non-English version?
  
• Do you have any third party software installing that adds additional language support?

For now, please use File Manager and browse to the Bonsai installation folder (defaults to "\Program files\Natara\Bonsai") and click the BonsaiPPC application to start Bonsai.

[Ralph Baek]

Thank you, Richard

1. What device do you have?
HP IPAQ HX4700
Original OS: Windows PPC 2003 SE
Now (Upgrade ROM): Windows Mobile 6.1 Classic (English)

2. Is it a Windows Mobile non-English version?
Windows Mobile 6.1 Classic + Korean Language Pack (Locale change / IME Change)
And, I think that My device has UTF-8 code system

3. Do you have any third party software installing that adds additional language support?
No.
I don't have information my .Net CF 3.5 library. I will check this.

For now, please use File Manager and browse to the Bonsai installation folder (defaults to "\Program files\Natara\Bonsai") and click the BonsaiPPC application to start Bonsai.
I'm tried yet. But same problem occured

If this problem is caused "String.StartsWith", I think that code system different is major factor.
General english system has 8 bit(single byte system) code system.
But Korea-Japan-China system has 16 bit(2 byte system, UTF-8 or Local system) code system.

Yesterday, I'm tried DayNoteZ(your company product). And same problem occured.

Please, check your code and support UTF-8.
If I help your program test, Anytime support you.
(Sorry, My english ability, I don't enough my mind. ...)

I love Bosai and DayNoteZ.

Thank you,

PS: Do you have plan Korean language support your product? (Menu / Text / Etc)

[Richard Murphy]

Bonsai and DayNotez both are .NET Compact Framework applications and are "unicode" based meaning they already use 16 bit characters. I am not sure what you are referring to by the "Korean Language Pack (Locale change / IME Change)" but I assume this is a 3rd party add-on. I have seen a couple of language tools such as Mobem/CE-Star that interfere with the .NET Compact Framework. Try disabling the Korean language Pack and see if DayNotez will run. If so, I would try to report this to whoever supports this language pack. The String.StartsWith call should not be throwing this error and something is not implemented correctly at a lower level with the device's language support.

[Ralph Baek]

Today, I'm reset my device. System All clear.

And, Test Bonsai and Koran language pack

1. Reset
--> Install Bonsai : Good Working (English only)

2. Reset
--> Install Korean Language Pack (Korean user made, Not Company)
--> Install Bonsai : Not Working

3. Reset
--> Install Bonsai : Good Working
--> Install Korean Language Pack (Korean user made, Not Company) : Not Working

4. Reset
--> Install Another Korean Language Pack (Third Party Add-in, Company made)
--> Install Bonsai: Good Working

I don't understand this result.
But, I resolve this problem.

Language pack compatibilty issue --> out of my working

Thank you
