i got a Dopod smartphone 577W running windows mobile 5.0. As the available ram in the phone is very limited, i would like to deploy my programs into the storage card instead. So, i fitted a micro sd card(1gig) into the phone and it was detected correctly.
when i go to properties tab of VS2005 to change the 'Output file folder (generated)' directory, i found that i wasn't able to modify that field as it was masked out!
When i tried to changed the 'Location of the output on device' from the drop down menu, there was no option to select storage card.
i've verified that the storage card is working correctly.
pls help!
thanks!
here's a screenshot:

Unable to change deployment directory to point to storage card!

No, this name is not standard and can be anything, it's up to OEM. The name can even be localized. More over, there can be several cards in one device.
It does not matter in this scenario though - you're developing and deploying to particular device so just set folder to match that device. For actual deployment CAB has the capability to redirect installation on to storage card regardless of the name.

i forgot that the storage card is juz a folder under the Root directory.

Does it work if you choose "Root folder" and type the path to storage card into subdirectory field in 'Location of the output on device'

You can’t modify “'Location of the output on device” because it’s the way for VS to show resulting path and it’s read only. However, since storage card is just a subfolder in a root, you can type it's name in "Subdirectory" filed. E.g. if you type "StorageCard\myApplication" VS would deploy to myApplication subfolder located on StorageCard. Of course you need to use actual storage card name instead of "StorageCard".

as u can see from the screenshot, even after i've chosen the "Root folder" from the drop down menu, i can't modify the 'Location of the output on device' field. so i'm still not able to choose path to point to my storage card. If i juz modify the "Subdirectory" field, it juz creates a new directory to store my apps under the "Root Directory".
