[Freestyler]

i've found
http://www.opennetcf.org/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=88

but I've got no idea what is ProcessInfo and CreateProcess.
I can't add reference to System.Web which is it's Namespace probably.

Have anyone solve this problem?

Thx Peter,
exuse my lame question, but how to use it ?. I've added a reference to that
OpenNETCF.WinAPI.dll, and still CreateProcess is not available.

Regards,
Fred

CreateProcess is a static member of the Code class within the library. e.g.

C#
OpenNETCF.WinAPI.Core.CreateProcess("\\windows\\pword.exe", null);

VB
OpenNETCF.WinAPI.Core.CreateProcess("\windows\pword.exe", Nothing)

OK but i the example given
http://www.opennetcf.org/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=88
there is an CreateProcess method that takes 10 not 2 arguments

Fred
PS
Is there a site where can I find the answers instead of molesting you ?

The native API function does indeed take a lot of additional arguments (most
of which are passed as nulls on Windows CE). I was suggesting you download
the OpenNETCF.WinAPI library.
http://www.opennetcf.org/winapi.asp
If you download the binary of this you will get a dll which you can add a
reference to in your project - then call its functions directly. Use the Add
Reference dialog, click the browse button then locate where you placed the
extracted dll. It will display a message about this not necessarily being
supported on the platform but you can ignore this.

The CreateProcess implementation in the WinAPI library takes care of a lot
of the donkey work behind the scenes, so you only need to pass the
executable name and command line arguments if any.

Hi Peter,
I've already done exactly as you advised. The proof is that i can see
OpenNETCF.WinAPI.dll in my programs directory on PocketPC. But still "
'CreateProcess' does not exist in the class or namespace " error is
produced. The only CreateProcess method i've found is in
OpenNETCF.WinAPI.Core, but it takes 2 arguments.

Whats wrong?
