Iv been encountering problems with disk space when deploying my app to a pocket pc emulator. So what Iv done is set up a shared directory on my pc to simulate a SD card, Iv copied the program there manually and then run it from the emulator, with this approach I still need to do the visual studio deployment as well so that so that the .net compact framework gets copied over. How do I make visual studio deploy to the shared dir? The 'Output file folder' is grayed out and I can only choose from a list of pre-defined locations. Sorry maybe I want not clear, when I said "I can only choose from a

In a C++ project (i.e. no .NET) on Windows Mobile, I am looking for a way to easily communicate between two independently running applications. Application A would run a service, whereas application B would provide the user some functionality - for which B has to call some of A's functions. I would rather not go through implementing anything in COM. In fact, I would prefer not to do any kind of serialization or similar (i.e. this would exclude using sockets/pipes/files), but rather have B pass all parameters and pointers over to A, just like if A were part of B. Also, apps C, D and E should be

I am having a lot of trouble getting a basic scenario to work on windows mobile 5.0 emulator. I have a winforms app that eventually calls into native code. Deployment works fine and all the native DLLs are copied in the same folder as the winforms .exe. I also verified this is the case with Remote File Viewer tool. However when I launch my app, it always fails with "Can't find PInvoke dll -- System.MissingMethodException" error (when the time comes to call into native code, the DllImport attribute is rendered useless). I know that the native dll is found in the same folder as the executable.

I'd like to run some C++ code while the Windows Mobile PocketPC is (or seems) being suspended. An example what I mean is the HTC Home plugin that shows (among others) a tab where the HTC Audio Manager can be used to play back mp3 files. When I press the on/off button, the display goes black, but the audio keeps playing. The only button to switch back on is the on/off button, as expected. What I tried so far is to capture hardware button presses (works) and switch off the video display (works). What doesn't work with this approach is that when (accidentally) pressing any key on the device, the

I would like to programatically shutdown a Windows Mobile device using Compact framework 2.0, Windows mobile 5.0 SDK. Regards, It probably not a great idea to do it from your app - the device has a power button for a reason and shutting down the app can cause user confusion and frustration. If you must do it, and you are using Windows Mobile 5.0 or later, you can P/Invoke ExitWindowsEx like this: [Flags] public enum ExitFlags { Reboot = 0x02, PowerOff = 0x08 } [DllImport("coredll")] public static extern int ExitWindowsEx(ExitFlags flags, int reserved); ... ExitWindowsEx(ExitFlags.PowerOff, 0);

I have a .Net Compact app running on Windows Mobile, and I want to be able to connect to a webservice running on the 'host' machine (i.e. the desktop the PDA is plugged into) when connected via ActiveSync, but I don't know the ip address of the host. How can I find the ip of the desktop PC progromatically on the PDA? I've found a KB article How To Retrieve the IP Address of the Remote PPP Peer , which uses the host "PPP_Peer". So I tried: Dns.GetHostEntry("PPP_Peer").AddressList[0] And that does give me what I'm looking for (169.254.2.2 on the PC I'm using at the moment). Getting the address
