Additional reference for Error messages?

Guest

I've been working with the Compact Framework today for the first time and I
keep getting an exception thrown that says "An error message cannot be
displayed because an optional resource assembly containing it cannot be
found."

A friend of mine said that many Exceptions are not included in the Compact
Framework but that you could get them for Debug purposes by adding a
reference. But he didn't know what the name of the assembly was and there
isn't one in the list of available .NET references that seems to be it.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

During debug VS automatically install the System_SR_enu.cab. This defnes the
error messages when exceptions are encountered. You will need to include
this CAB in your apps install package if you want the exception messages on
production installs.
