Hi all,
I'm trying to migrate all my device projects to run on Mobile 6.0, as our customers are requesting to use those devices when available. My projects have all been built in VS2005 and target the PPC2003 devices. Since I don't have an actual device, I installed the WM 6.0 SDK Refresh to get the Device Emulator 2.0, and I have run into a couple of issues:
(1) My existing CABS won't run on the DE2.0... I get a simple message that the installation was unsuccessful... nothing more. Whey would my CABS open up fine on in DE1.0, but not 2.0 What's changed NOTE that I can copy the individual files over to the emulator (exe's and dll's), and the applications run fine, I just can't install these files from the CAB....the CAB's were built using the CAB Builder project is VS2005.
(2) Since WM 6.0 now comes with SQL Server Compact Edition in ROM, I don't have to deploy the SQL CABS I was doing in PPC2003. But how do I open the database on the device now I used to be able to open up with Query Analyzer, but now the file is not recognized on the emulator
(3) Why can't I have my .sdf database files in a directory on my PC, which is used as the storage card for the emulator My app won't run when using the storage card as the data store... it has to be in My Documents or another directory on the emulator itself
Sorry for all the questions, and I'm sure they're all emulator related. But since that's all I have to work with right now, I wasn't expecting this much trouble when testing my apps out in WM 6.0. Thanks in advance for your help guys.
