Problem:
J2ME doesn’t support property files
Solution:
In J2SE properties file can be used to store information but that’s not available on J2ME platform, instead it provides a record store. A sample is available at Sun website.

“By default, SQL Server does not allow ad hoc distributed queries using OPENROWSET and OPENDATASOURCE. When this option is set to 1, SQL Server allows ad hoc access. When this option is not set or is set to 0, SQL Server does not allow ad hoc access.”

Task:
Upload images from a blackberry device to a website
Solution:
There are a lot of tutorials available to upload form data to a website but we spent sometime looking to post a file to a web server using Multi part. Found the article at Nokia which does the job exactly what we need to do. It’s a very to the point code sample with also a usage sample. Also attaching the code as a zip file incase the link is broken and because the site didn’t have a code download option. All credit goes to Nokia.

Recently we had to use a common form to display all the reports for a windows application. For some reason all the reports would work only once. We were using a ReportForm.ShowDialog() to show the report form. Apparently ShowDialog doesn’t dispose the form when its closed as a normal form does when its shown using Form.Visible = True. After a lot of search I came across the article which mentioned that there is a memory leak issue if you don’t dispose the form properly after ShowDialog.
Best Practice according to the article is open the form using the following code and it works, solved our issue.
Quote:
using( SomeDialog sd = new SomeDialog() )
{
sd.ShowDialog();
}
