App. Does not Load

[Bill Salling]

Creating an App for Handheld device. Application works
fine on both of the Emulators. But when deployed to
device, the hour glass runs for a few seconds then
disappears. App does not start. Thought maybe something
was wrong with App, So I started a new project with just
the basic form. Deployed and same thing happened with
hour glass. Has this happed to someone else, if so I am I
doing something work. PS. Did download and installed
lasted CE Device Updates.

Bill,

Are you sure that the .NetCF is deployed to the device? This did happen to
me once, but I think a hard reset and reinstalling the .NetCF fixed it.
Another possibility is that something besides .Net is needed and isn't on
the device already, perhaps something like SqlCe or a 3rd party lib.

What kind of device? Which platform? How are you deploying the application?
Does it start under debugger? Did you try hard reset?

Sorry for the delay. The device is the Trimble TSCe. OS
is Windows CE.net v4.0 (4.0.9). When deploying the App.
CF does install along with SQLce. But when an App. tries
to start all I get is the hour glass for about 5 seconds,
then nothing.

thanks

Bill,

The .NetCF is not supported on CE 4.0. I'd suggest talking to the OEM about
an upgrade to CE 4.1.
