• Todd Saylor Unable to change deployment directory to point to storage card!

  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: <a href=" http://photobucket.com " target="_bla ...Show All

• Babak Farahani What is emulatorstub.exe?

  What is emulatorstub.exe It’s throwing a couple of exceptions when I launch a Pocket PC image I built. The reason I ask this is that I’ve ran into a problem running my image in an emulator launch by VS2005 or standalone. I’m trying to use the emulator as a dev platform since it’s a faster debug turn around that actually using a device. What I have done is replaced the RIL, built a Pocket PC emulator image and connected an Evaluation Board (containing a cell phone module) to a com port. Everything work great in Platform Builder I launch the emulator, load the image and I can make calls, receive SMS and run GPRS data connections. The problem appears when I do the same thing under VS2005, I get the image up but I’m unable to communicate w ...Show All

• MohsinAta Unable to create cab files in visual studio 2005

  Hie, i think i am facing the same problem, so i just reply here instead of starting a new thread. if this isn't the same problem, i will create a new thread later. i followed the how to article on using smart device cab project to create the cab files. i successfully created the cab file and when i copy it to the device via activesync, it install successfully. but when i package it into a installer and use ce application manager to install, it say this is an invalid setup file. so i open the cab file and compare it with the sql ce cab file. and guess what, it is different. In the cab file that i create, it doesn't have a *.999 file, but all the other cab files like sql ce, sql ce client, and compact framework have. so, what am i d ...Show All

• ducksauce Can anybody help me out with some code...

  to get me started I know a little SQL [mySQL is what my hosting service offers], a little less PHP and even less Java - I am fighting the local live API - but I need to get some mappoints [name, lat, lon] pulled from a SQL database (actually it does not have to be sql, since our main database is filemaker pro and it is not sql - so if it can be done from a csv, or excel, or something along those lines... just as well] and map them... I actually have a ton of mappoints [4000+], though having them pulled based on the map that is showing might be too much to begin with..... Can anybody point me to some code that gets me started   Thanks a lot elwood Actually, I'm not sure John's answer is necessarily the way to go. ...Show All
