make call

i want to make a call from my application, please help
PS: i am using .net cf
thanx

Use "phoneMakeCall "function
Find "phoneMakeCall" function infomation in MSDN library.

I was unable to find that function in the MSDN library. I found more, but they were .NET functions.
I am interested in the same functionality as the tel: protocol. Does anyone know what the parameter is that I can send to cprog.exe so it knows what number I want to dial (if it's possible). And if there is a way to make the phone automatically dial that number would be great.
The tel: protocol is really kind of weak for applications outside of IE. Having to launch a blank window is a horrible user experience.
Thanks in advance,

Hi there
Try this link:
http://smartdevices.microsoftdev.com/Learn/Articles/622.aspx
Discribed is a away to use the TAPI through p/Invoke.
It was a bit of hard work, but after only 1/2 a Day i made my first phonecall to a telephonenumber, stored in my App's database.
Generally i found out, that http://smartdevices.microsoftdev.com is a good starting point for searching information (and of course this forum ;-))

Hi
Thx for the link, It helped me a lot. I didn't get the VB.NET part of the sample code (Downloaded) to work when I was calling a phone number. It seems that the phone is not converted correctly. The SMS part of the VB sample works ok although.
The CS sample work OK, I could make a phone call in minuts, using the sample code.
So if I can't find the reason for the error in the VB sample, I must stick to the CS code.

Details for .Net developers:
The PhoneMakeCall function is not the tricky part of this.
For .net newcomers it's P/Invoke that makes this a little more difficult,
than just using a dll.
1. You have to create a Class (for Example: Phone) that hold the functionality. Because we are using P/Invoke, don't forget using System.Runtime.InteropServices!
2. In your new created Phone Class declare 2 statics, that help us with the option of Prompting before making a call, one of them will fill the dwFlags part of our Infostructure:
private static long PMCF_DEFAULT = 0x00000001;
private static long PMCF_PROMPTBEFORECALLING = 0x00000002;
3. Now to define the allready by yrj mentioned PhoneMakeCallInfo structure. it should look like this:
private struct PhoneMakeCallInfo
{
public IntPtr cbSize;//size of struct
public IntPtr dwFlags;//prompt or not
public IntPtr pszDestAddress;//pointer to CharArray with
//Phone number
public IntPtr pszAppName;//nothing
public IntPtr pszCalledParty;//nothing
public IntPtr pszComment;//nothing
}
4. The import of the Phone.dll function should be no problem:
[DllImport("phone.dll")]
private static extern IntPtr PhoneMakeCall(ref PhoneMakeCallInfo ppmci);
5. Now you have to create a fucntion that instantiates a PhoneMakeCall infoStructure and call the newly Invoked PhoneMakeCall-function.
Now, have fun!

problem ServiceController

Lack of time has not to schedule time for WM. Right now I have begun to make an application in WM 5.0 but I have the following problem. I intend to retrieve a list of system services to fail to load the phone by the usb. For that I have something like this:
Imports System.ServiceProcess
[...]
Public Function ActivarCargaUSB(ByVal param As Integer) As Integer
Dim services() As ServiceController
services = ServiceController.GetServices()
End Function
But Visual Studio tells me that: We need a reference to assembly 'System, Version = 2.0.0.0, Culture = neutral, PublicKeyToken = b77a5c561934e089' containing the base class 'System.ComponentModel.Component'. Add one to your project.
Someone tells me how I can add that library? or some method to stop charging the battery by usb?
thanks

please help! As ServiceController declare the type correctly?

I need help please ...

[Q] Standard and Professional

Newbie here. Maybe someone can give me some direction. I am writing an app for both standard and professional. I have 2 projects in my solution. One is for standard the othe is for professional. I am not sure if this is the right way or not but what I want to do is when the app opens it checks to see what platform is running and then runs the correct project. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It is possible to create a single project that is capable of running on both platforms but there is quite a bit of groundwork you will have to do first.
Firstly, the main differences.
Standard : No touch screen i.e. No Mouse events. All user input is via the keyboard, buttons, D-PAD and ENTER. No Open/Save dialogboxes, you have to present the files to the user yourself. Message dialogs appear full screen.
Professional : None of the above limitations.
The are a few pointers here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb985500.aspx
The following code will detect the platform and set the variable 'SmartPhone' to 1 (true) if the version is 'Standard'
Code:
#define MAX_LOADSTRING 100
int SmartPhone;
TCHAR szReturn[MAX_LOADSTRING];
SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETPLATFORMTYPE,MAX_LOADSTRING,szReturn,false);
SmartPhone=wcscmp(TEXT("SmartPhone"),szReturn)^1;
Your processing code may have code such as:
Code:
if(SmartPhone)
{
........ Standard Stuff.......
}
else
{
......... Professional Stuff........
}
Note also that code dealing with a WM_LBUTTONDOWN message will never be executed on a smartphone, as WinMo Standard never generates this message.
It may seem a pain, but you only have one executable to deliver for both platforms.
As an example, here's one I prepared earlier.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=509413

more info
I am coding with VB. What I was thinking was creating a class project and making that the startup project. Within the class the VB would check the platform and then run the correct project.

Should work:
To get the Platform type in .NET CF have a look at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms229660(VS.90).aspx
It's also listed in the VS Help.

I am using VS2008 TS and cf3.5. I have tried several methods and still can't get any to work. I must be missing a reference or something. Here is some code I can't get to work.
If SystemSettings.Platform = WinCEPlatform.PocketPC Then
txtDeviceType.Text = "Windows Mobile Professional"
ElseIf SystemSettings.Platform = WinCEPlatform.Smartphone Then
txtDeviceType.Text = "Windows Mobile Standard"
Else
txtDeviceType.Text = "Not Windows Mobile"
End If
Also tried this.
Public Enumeration WinCEPlatform
Dim instance As WinCEPlatform

I also tried getversionex but couldn't get it to work either.

I only code .NET in C# but there is virtually no difference.
Try this: You will have to add the reference to Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms;
Right click on References in the Solution Explorer, click on Add Reference, in the .NET Tab, pick it out of the list.
Code:
using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms;
namespace Test
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
WinCEPlatform Platform = new WinCEPlatform();
Platform = SystemSettings.Platform;
label1.Text = Platform.ToString();
}
}
}
Works a treat!
Let's let Red Gate's Reflector translate the IL into VB.
It also reveals that the compiler rips outs the middle variables and goes straight for :
Code:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Me.label1.Text = SystemSettings.Platform.ToString
End Sub

I am getting an error on this InitializeComponent. Another question. Can I add a class project and use this code to point to the correct project?

Drop the InitialiseComponent function, that is only used used in C#
In VB in Form1 the only code you need is
Code:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Label1.Text = Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.SystemSettings.Platform.ToString
End Sub
End Class
This code works and puts "YES" in the box if run on a PPC
Code:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
If Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.SystemSettings.Platform = Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.WinCEPlatform.PocketPC Then
Label1.Text = "YES"
End If
End Sub
End Class

Ok. I got it to work with the following code. But I have another problem. My app is a very simple app. I want it to work on PPC2003 and smartphones. I have 2 different forms for standard and professional. Now the problem is that if I use .net compact framework 3.5 then the device has to have that installed. So if I want to the app to work on older devices it won't work without the .net compact framework. If I use .net compact framework 2.0 then I lose the ability to use the code to determine if its standard or professional. I was hoping there was a way to include the 3.5 CF into my app cab but I haven't seen it. I am currently using VS2008 whcih only allows you 2.0 CF and 3.5 CF. I was thinking about using VS2005 and use 1.0 CF so it would work on all Windows mobile devices. But then I would again lose the ability to use the code. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Shared Sub Main()
Dim Platform As New WinCEPlatform()
Platform = SystemSettings.Platform
If Platform = "1" Then
Application.Run(
New Pro())
ElseIf Platform = "2" Then
Application.Run(
New Standard())
End If
End Sub

Using VS2005 I started a new project and selected SmartDevice 1.0. Now I have some issues.
1. Trying to determine either standard or professional. I am trying to use the Pinvoke to do this. No luck so far. I get an error on ByVal nFolder As ceFolders.
2. The code I was using to play a .wav file no longer works.
Dim myplayer As New System.Media.SoundPlayer(New IO.MemoryStream(My.Resources.Dice))
myplayer.Play()
3. I had resource files for images and a wav file so my code to use these no longer work.
Me.PictureBox1.Image = My.Resources.red_die_1_th

1. I'll have a look at it. Watch this space.
2. The SoundPlayer object is only available from .net CF 3.5 onwards. To play sounds you my have to PInvoke PlaySound()
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms229685(v=VS.80).aspx
3. Should work, but maybe there's a difference in the frameworks. Microsoft's catch-all is that not all methods, properties etc. are supported in all .NET or .NET CF. versions. You may end up doing it in two stages, create a bitmap image from the resource, then pass that to the picturebox.
The answer to 1 is below. This works in C# under VS2003 .NET CF 1.0 but it is only in C#, I do not have VB installed on this machine. You will have to reverse engineer it into VB yourself, not too difficult. The important code is the DLLImport definition, the SPI_GETPLATFORMTYPE definition, and the call of the function in Form1_Load().
On program start "PocketPC" appears in the label on screen.
Code:
using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Collections;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Data;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
namespace PInvTest
{
/// <summary>
/// Summary description for Form1.
/// </summary>
public class Form1 : System.Windows.Forms.Form
{
private System.Windows.Forms.Label label1;
private System.Windows.Forms.MainMenu mainMenu1;
[DllImport("coredll.dll", EntryPoint="SystemParametersInfo", SetLastError=true)]
private static extern int SystemParametersInfo(
int uiAction, int uiParam, string pvParam, int fWinIni);
private const int SPI_GETPLATFORMTYPE = 257;
public Form1()
{
//
// Required for Windows Form Designer support
//
InitializeComponent();
//
// TODO: Add any constructor code after InitializeComponent call
//
}
/// <summary>
/// Clean up any resources being used.
/// </summary>
protected override void Dispose( bool disposing )
{
base.Dispose( disposing );
}
/// <summary>
/// The main entry point for the application.
/// </summary>
static void Main()
{
Application.Run(new Form1());
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
string Platform = new string(' ',20);
SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETPLATFORMTYPE,Platform.Length,Platform,0);
label1.Text=Platform;
}
}
}

[Q] [Resolved] [.Net CF 3.5] How do i create a treeview based file browser

I have a problem with a project i'm working on and that is:
How do i create a TreeView based file browser that can export a selected path and filename to a textbox and a Process.Start call at the same time. That's it in a nut shell. The main part if the tree view bit but i haven't figured out how to do variables yet and i'm gonna need one for the second part. I have spent hours googling and i have this question posted on a dedicated VB forum.
I'm using Visual Basic 2008 as the IDE and .Net CF 3.5 as the language (obviously)
If anyone has any ideas on this i'll gladly hear them coz i am really stuck. I found writting code to soft reset a device was easier

TreeNodeCollection tr=treeView1.Nodes;
TreeNode tn;
foreach (string dirs in System.IO.Directory.GetDirectories(System.IO.Directory.GetDirectoryRoot(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetModules()[0].FullyQualifiedName)))
{
tn = new TreeNode(dirs);
//tr = new TreeNodeCollection();
tr.Add(tn);
}

C#....VB don't have the curly brackets

So i've come back to this question after a few months avoiding VB. I'm now working on a new product and the lack of an folderbrowserdialog object in .Net CF is killing me.
What i need is this (oh and thanks to everyone that posted above but i can't make that solution work). A way to list all the folders on a device and then select one that can be passed to a variable so it's path can be used elsewhere. Maybe also pass the path to a textbox just so it's clear what you have selected. I've spent 2 days googling this and i did find a few things. Most don't work and the rest are in c# which is not much good. So if anyone wants to help me out i would really appreciate it.

Get your head round this.........
O.K. Here's how it's done, with a crash course in one of the most powerful of programming techniques - Recursion. It can confuse the hell out of rookie programmers, as they just can't get their heads round what's going on. It is dependant on a function's local variables and fortunately, .NET's stack based architecture allows us to use it to the full.
You will need, 1.) a TreeView object - named "treeView1" and 2.), a label named "label1" placed underneath it. The label is only there to prove the point that we can get at the full pathname of the selected directory in the Treeview. In reality it can be dropped, just put your processing code directly in the TreeView's AfterSelect() event.
The Form_Load() event gets the directories in the root directory, by calling GetDirList with an initial directory of "\".
GetDirList() adds the directories to the TreeView then calls GetDirList again on each directory to get any subdirectories, and again on each subdirectory, ad nauseum. Keep going until there are no more directories returned.
When completed TreeView contains a list of every directory/subdirectory on the device.
When you select an item from the TreeView the full pathname is displayed in the label. The image at the bottom shows it running under debug on the WinMo 5.0 emulator. There are several directories you would not normally see on your device.
Good Luck, stephj.
Code:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Me.GetDirList("\")
End Sub
Private Sub GetDirList(ByVal PathName As String)
Dim dirs As String
For Each dirs In Directory.GetDirectories(PathName)
Dim tn As New TreeNode(dirs)
Me.treeView1.Nodes.Add(tn)
Me.GetDirList(tn.FullPath)
Next
End Sub
Private Sub treeView1_AfterSelect(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As TreeViewEventArgs)
Me.label1.Text = e.Node.FullPath
End Sub
P.S.
You will need the VB equivalent of using System.IO adding to your project.
This stuff has been around since .NET CF 1.1
The original project was written in C#, I used .NET Reflector to translate it into VB from the original. The original C# is included here:-
Code:
using System;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.IO;
namespace Test
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
GetDirList("\\");
}
private void GetDirList(string PathName)
{
foreach (string dirs in System.IO.Directory.GetDirectories(PathName))
{
TreeNode tn = new TreeNode(dirs);
treeView1.Nodes.Add(tn);
GetDirList(tn.FullPath);
}
}
private void treeView1_AfterSelect(object sender, TreeViewEventArgs e)
{
label1.Text = e.Node.FullPath;
}
}
}

cool thanks. I'll have a look at coding this tomorrow (i having some fun time right now).
I did have a look at doing this with a list box yesterday but i was getting errors left, right and centre so i really do appreciate the help.
Just an FYI the VB equivelent of "using" is "imports" otherwise most of the objects are the same but i don't nee to worry about adding it as the program is already interacting with the file system.
Again thanks very much. I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out.

I've just had a look at implementing this but i'm having trouble getting the treeview to populate with the folder list. What am i doing wrong? the object names all match up and i can't see why it's not working. Am i just being plain dense?
What i have Is pretty much what you posted except for a few changes to allow for the fact that the treeview object is in a tabcontrol and i already have a bunch of labels knocking around so the label is called label28 and not label1.
I'm sorry if it appears like i'm not trying or i'm asking you to do all the work but i am genuinely really stuck. I get the recursion principal, That's not an issue but i'm trying to create something from scratch that should really have been included in .net CF and i'm just not that good a programmer yet

Should work..... but without seeing the actual code it's rather hard to remotely debug it.
To prove the point, here's the complete VS2008 VB .NET CF 3.5 project.
In the \bin\release directory is the actual executable. If you have .NET CF 3.5 on your device, drop DirList.exe onto it and run it.

I had a look at the project you posted and just copied the coded over. I did make some tweaks so it only loaded the folder list when the tab the treeview was on was clicked but that didn't work so i repated the code in as is and voila! it works. Now all i need is to create a variable to store the selected path in but i think i can manage that.
Again a huge thanks.

Hierarchical view......
Here's the project to indent, compress, and expand the directory tree structure.

I was just playing around with this and i noticed that when you click on a directory below "\" the path becomes "\\this\path". This is obviously not a valid windows mobile path and it is causing an IOexception and I have no idea how to fix it. Google suggests lots of c# pages that say to use a regular expression to strip out the illegal characters but the example i found was for the entire path and it seemed to check each character against a variable of illegal values. I'm sure if that would work for me. Heres the link.
Let me know what you think.

I have no idea where the \\this is coming from, I can't replicate it.
To filter out the extra leading slash use this:-
Code:
Private Sub TreeView1_AfterSelect(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.TreeViewEventArgs) Handles TreeView1.AfterSelect
If TreeView1.SelectedNode.FullPath.Length() = 1 Then
Label1.Text = TreeView1.SelectedNode.FullPath
Else
Label1.Text = TreeView1.SelectedNode.FullPath.Substring(1)
End If

Interesting new problem has cropped up with this code. It doesn't seem to work on rhodiums. It works fine in the emulator, my HD2 and all of CajunFlavouredBob's devices but i have a user that has a rhodium that get the error posted here. I can't replicte it and i don't have a rhodium to test it with. Any ideas?

Hmmmmm another tricky one. Without seeing the device actually throw the error, it can be a bit difficult.
Does this machine actually report the storage card as "\Storage Card"? Some machines don't. In which case you may have to use some storage card enumeration trick to get hold of the real name it uses. This may not apply in this case.
Also, to make things trickier still, the stack dump shows 'GetInternalDirectoryNames()' as the function throwing the error first. This is a level below your call of GetDirectories(), and is being used by the OS to actually go get the info. You may have to create a test version of EXCT2 full of Try...Catch programming blocks, to try to get to the real point where the error is being thrown.

well this turned out to be a memory related issue. So instead of using the folder browser we now use the stock winmo savedialog. because it uses less memory and allows us access to the locations we need.
Thanks for helping though steph.

The DllImport Project (+/also C++ Wrapper) [Mango Support]

The DllImport Project
This project is part "Real DllImport" and also not the same time. It has limited DllImport to only types "void();" (well isn't that DllImport )
Other CORE functions that require multiple [IN] or/and [OUT] are to complex for the code right now (there are so many possibilities).
Terms of use, using the code (free to use, under my name "fiinix00 @ XDA"~ in app)
As posted to JaxBot
Well thanks for asking, this project is free for everyone, the one purpose it was made for.
The only thing i needed back is my name (fiinix @ XDA) included in whose projects (external) that take use of my code base. There is no licence or something (GNU e.g.), it just make people mad and confused.
So feel free to take advantage of the code whenever you want, just remember, i want my name on it. =D

- Yep: 1.0.9!
Code updated! (2011-04-17-22:01) //damn, not update in 8 days~
- Phone.OS.OSLanguage { SubLanguageID, PrimaryLanguageID }
- Phone.WP7Process.+ CurrentProcessID (int),+GetCurrentProcess() returns guaranteed the right taskhost @class_WP7Process
- Improved Phone.OS.Memory
- + Extra i don't remember (8 days)
Code updated! (2011-05-22-21:25)
- 1.2.1 (because 1.2 methods was commented out to set things right (less crash))
- HUGE improvements
- Removed unneeded **** to speed things up
- Screenshot 161 ms per capture (non-save-to-gallery) =D
- =D
Mango support added(2011-10-26-19:30)
- yep, "ATL" Mango compiled. I have not yet tested to run it on a NoDo.
- Trying to implement a ASM virtual machine; example:
Code:
[ASMMethod(Dll = "coredll", EntryPoint = "GetLastError")]
public delegate int GetLastError();
var last = ASMGenerator.GenerateDelegateFor<GetLastError>();
int code = last();
Custom tile support added(2011-11-07-23:08)
- Custom core tiles ftw!
[/CODE]
Source: Attatchment
-Compile VS2008 folder with C++ compiler from WM6 SDK
-Windows Mobile SDK 6 PRO
-Visual Studio 2010 (+ WP7 Silverlight SDK)
Test-app: Attatchment
-Deploy
-No need anymore to do a initialize button call, automatic called on first use in code "DllImportcaller.lib.cctor" by JIT (Net Framework just in time).
-Do some tests from the scrolling list. (due there are more CORE back-code API's than buttons, all tests can not be tested).
OLDER VERSIONS WILL BE DEPRECATED AND WILL BE REPLACED BY NEWER, MAX ATTACHMENTS IS 8.

Searched for dllimport but did not found what i was searching for; so i need to ask about if it is possible to do a dllimport with interop in meta?
Because if not, i think i have found something quite the same without dllimport.

We can't p/invoke, but only use COM interfaces to interop with native code. What did you find?

Im trying the method, of c++ calling the calls for me.
In c++ i call "HMODULE dll = LoadLibrary("MyDLL.dll");" to get the native kerner32.dll e.g.
Then call "Dword addr = GetProcAddress(dll, "MyMethod");"
Code:
typedef HRESULT (STDAPICALLTYPE * LPFNBOX) (void);
C# -> COM (LoadLibrary e.g.) ->
return dll addr -> return to C#
C# -> COM -> LPFNBOX * val = (LPFNBOX)GetProcAddress(addr, "method"); ->
return val(); ->
return to C#
May work with some privileges bypass, not tested. (^ Not programmer, skip it)

Step 1 of 2 "LoadLibrary7" S_OK (success!)

int result;
var hr = lib.MessageBox7("lpText", "lpCaption", MB.MB_OK, out result);
And: It shows a native msg box

It ** worked!
var t = DllImportCaller.Call<string, string>("coredll.dll", "CeRunAppAtEvent", "emptyArgs");
LoadLibrary7( .. "coredll.dll" .. ) @ -1304248592
GetProcAddress7( .. CeRunAppAtEvent" .. ) @ 1105512120
Now just "box" and call it

Sounds sweet. Any code to share?

Well, last step now is to box it. Due "Compact Framework 3.7" there is no "Marshal.GetDelegateForFunctionPointer". But iw found something quite common.
Code, yes. (if i succeed)

Well, there we go. I did just shut down the phone with code (phone sided code)!
DllImportCaller.lib.ShutdownOS();

nevermind.

So you wrapped LoadLibrary/GetProcAddress via C++/COM, how is this any different than what we have now? It's easier to simply write C++ code and provide a calling mechanism. (Which is what we're doing.)

The use of dllimports (gdiplus.dll located in "\Windows\" for example) in C# code. And you dont need to know c++/programmer to call c++ methods anymore.

The last annoying, to get that IntPtr (native) to become a managed method... (it is possible). Anyways its going great, i'll continue tomorrow

Hey any code on this?

Very soon (today @ Central European Time, dinner). Due im currently at work. The preview will not do all the way down to dllimport because the last thing for me is to figure out how to call the native IntPtr from c# with c# arguments.
Glad you guys are asking

Yeah, would be really cool if thats possible, then it would be possible todo everything over mscoree.dll, i guess?!
I found something intresting myself yesterday, the mscorlib.dll and System.dll on the phone are different from the ones in the sdk. (They contain a lot more stuff) Also the the mscorlib contains DllImports for almost everything.
If there is some way to get an internal class that would be also a great alternative...

Internal's -> typeof(CLASS).GetMethod( ... ).Invoke( ... ). Works perfect with </Interop> in manifest. Else "MethodAccessException".
And all those dllimports in mscore, plenty of them, most doing calls to mscoree
Goad is to do "DllImportCaller.Call( DLL, METHOD, ARGS )"~

I just tried this:
Type type = Type.GetType("System.PInvoke.PAL");
Type type1 = Type.GetType("System.Host.HostNative+FIND_DATA");
object createInstance = Activator.CreateInstance(type1);
And this results into MethodAccessException
I have a WPInteropManifest.xml, so what do you mean by:

This is going kind of off topic. Stay to topic.
Anyways, Activaror.CreateInstance cannot create internal constructots, you need TYPE.GetConstructor( ... ).Invoke. Check visibility of ctor.
