C#-App doesn't run (Win CE device, Compact Framework included)

[Guest]

Hello,

we have aproblem with VS .NET 2003, C#-App and our Device with a Win CE
image and included Compact Framework (Platformbuilder 4.2 with all QFEs)

VS .NET builds and deploys the C#-Testapp, says launching
application, but nothing happens. Also manually starting of the app on the
device does'nt work.

How can we determine that the .NET Compact Framework is working?

By testing with the Emulator we see a Compact Framework folder in the folder
Program Files but on our device we doesn't see this folder. Is this a sign
for the inactive Compact Framework?

Thanks in advance,

Michael

Make sure that you have installed all of the latest WinCE 4.2 QFEs from the
Microsoft download site. Enable the serial debug messages from a debug
build of your platform and capture them while trying to run the application
manually (leave VS.NET out of it). Let us know what the serial debug
messages show.

And the QFEs? It appears to me that there is something wrong during the
initial compilation of the program, causing the run-time to exit suddenly.
There have been QFEs which prevented .NET CF apps from running on 4.2
devices. You have to get all of the latest updates to assure that you are
in a position to build a working OS in that area.

Hello Paul,

We got now the latest QFEs (040810, 040811, 040813) but it's still the same.
(also after deploying and installing the CF via Visual Studio the Testapp
doesn't run)

What's your further suggestions?

Michael

You're still deploying the framework from VS.NET? Why not build it into the
OS and try *that*?
