Hi all,
I've been searching for a tool to edit the weather database (xml) in Manila2D. Because I couldn't find any I decided to code one myself. Now it's finished I want to share it with the community
Note: this program is no longer maintained as I don't have a TytnII anymore...
Features:
Runs on your phone!
Allows you to add/edit and delete cities from the database
Allows you to search AccuWeather.com for the corresponing weather code (no more searching for the code in the website-url whatsoever)
Allows you to clear the database and only add the cities you want
Works with the latest Manila2D (v2.0 build 19191432)
Requirements:
.Net compact framework 2.0
Patched Manila2D to allow alternate cities (eg not2advanced)
QVGA compatible deviceWindows Mobile 5.x or higher
Screenshots:

Added read-only detection of the database file (xml-file), has the ability to remove the read-only attribute by itself.
V1.2
Enhanced graphics to match the Manila style, courtesy of S.V.I.
Detection of languages, so it uses the right XML file according to language settings
Appens the abbreviation of the state and country to the name, just like the cities that are already in the XML-file
Keyboard automatically shows when a textbox has gotten the focus
V1.1.2
Some parsing changes
Appends the state or province to the name instead to the country
V1.1.1
Fixed issue when selecting the keyboard on the search screen, the main screen gets focussed and hiding the search screen;
List is now alphabetically saved;
Fixed an exception which could occur when deleting an item.
V1.1
Added additional search code to improve searches (still depends on AccuWeather.com's search, but returns more results);
Changed "Save as New" to "Add to list" to make more sense;
Fixed the softkeyboard from hiding the input fields.
Q&A:
Awesome, can I donate?
Sure you can, just click here and donate away
Can I post a wish or suggestion?
You can post them in this thread and if I have time I’ll have a look at it.
I’ve found a bug, what do I do now?
Post them in this thread and instructions on how to reproduce that bug.
I’ve added a city but Manila complains it cannot retrieve weather data, what do I do now?
Most likely your Manila isn’t patched to an alternate weather url (see requirements). If it is patched then the code might be wrong or the server has a glitch.
I can't find the city I'm looking for, what to do?
This application only searches and parses the AccuWeather.com site (international search). So it could happen that for instance 'New York' doesn't return the New York in the US. Instead search for 'New York, US'.

Awesome gonna give try, should make things easier for people not able to edit .xml
Thankyou

Nice idea, really helpful.
Only the Input field does not scroll up when the onscreen keyboard pops up, so you can't see what or where you are inputting. You have to close the keyboard, check to see what you have typed or deleted and then popthe keyboard back to continue.
Also seems like I can only put in one custom city and then no others.
EDIT : ok , figured it out. After putting in new city info, you have to go to edit soft key and hit " save as new " and then press the menu soft key and hit " save changes " soft reset and new city will appear in list.

Location
Looks like a very promising and needed software.
I installed to my main memory, but now I cannot locate it in Start>Programs...I actually went to File Directory and found the files there and started it from there. Am I missing something?
I am currently testing the program, will report back later....
Thank you.
UPDATE: I found the shortcut in Start>Programs.

Patched Manila from mega. 6.5 only. I don't know what to edit to get it to work on 6.1

If you know what you are doing, you can patch it to work for 6.1 and non HTC devices. (please let me know)

Yes it is .NET should be backwards compatible.

That's an issue of the accu weather site (international search). For example if you search "New York, US" it will find New York in the US.
For example: http://www.accuweather.com/world-city-list.asp?partner=accuweather&locCode=new%20york and http://www.accuweather.com/world-city-list.asp?partner=accuweather&locCode=new york, US.
I will add a combobox that allows you to choose between local search (US) and international search.

If tried patching it, but it's packed with UPX and for some reason UPX doesn't like unpacking Manila2D.exe (mbarvian version)

I think you can patch the weather url to another server (maybe your own?), host a script on that server which returns exactly the same XML format as AccuWeather but with other data.
See http://weather.not2advanced.com/files/ for a script for parsing AccuWeather.com.

The help only says to hit edit / save as new. That is what confused me. This did not work for me.
I also had to hit menu / save changes right after, to get any changes to stick, is this right ?
