debug native dll called from C# compact framework application on pocket pc 2003 emulator

[Ike Starnes]

I have created a WinCE native DLL using EVC4. I call that dll from a C#
compact framework
application written using VS.Net 2003. How can I debug the dll.
If I run the emulator from inside the EVC4 IDE, then I can't "connect" to it
from
the VS.Net 2003 IDE, and vice versa. Has anyone else tried to do this?

You cannot debug the DLL when it's called from C#. You can use MessageBoxes
in the C++ dll or output some debug statements to a textfile. I think there
is also a way to have EVC to run your application if it's on the device but
I'm not 100% sure.

Take a look at this article by Alex Feinman:

Yes, that helps. Thanks.

And, in case anyone else reads this, you can install the .Net CF Framework
onto the
emulator by downloading the x86 .CAB file from here:

copy it to the PocketPC, and then run the .CAB file (click on it).

Again, thanks for your help.
