Getting files on the Emulator

[victor]

Hello,
I have the following situation:
My app needs several configuration script files, all plain ASCII text.
I did typed this manually on the opened Emulator using the WordPad
editor. So far so good.
However, at certain points I had to shut down the Emulator in the
'not-SaveEmulatorState' Turn Off) mode. Result .... everything is
lost!!
Q: how can I copy/paste/drag files from my desktop to the Emulator?
Thanks!

You can connect to a drive (C from the emulator
by using the Explorer. Menu: "Map drive"

Hi Rainer,
Thanks for responding!
Can you please elaborate on your tip: how do I reach the "Map Drive"
command?
I'm using VS .NET-2003 plus the Emulator for Windows-CE version
4.1.0-build 14 from Connectix Corp.
In here I cannot find your Explorer solution ..... .
What are your precise commands to reach the drive mapper?

Hi Victor,

try this http://www.borchmann.de/test.htm.
n the second picture you see the line
\\mycomputer\c$

mycomputer is the name of your desktopmachine , ore any
reacheble server in you network

c$ is you c-drive.

please click in the explorer (on your desktop) with the right mouse
botton on your C: Drive and "release" your drive or a folder.
I dont know the really word for release, because i am using
a german windows. It means you have set the userrrights

Bye

You can also select a shared folder in the emulator properties. I am lazy -
I set it to my desktop ;-)

Rainer,
I see what you mean.
The "release" part in Windows-EN is: "Sharing" - the drive icon will
then have a supporting-'hand' drawing.
So I did this and tried the next steps ...; unfortunately still with
no result up till now.
I also saw that your excercise device is a Pocket-PC (mine is a
Tablet-PC) and that it also has the 'drive-sharing' icon. This is not
the case in my Tablet-PC. I keep getting the error message
"Bad network path" if I tried to connect to the desktop via the
Address bar edit window .... .
My Tablet-PC lacks the "Offnen" command.
So, I have to find out how to achieve the 'shared-disk' status in the
Tablet-PC.
Thank you for your time !!
victor.

How to do it Steve?
What are the actions: on the desktop or on the TabletPC Emulator,
then, which Property to select?
Please elaborate on it, stepwise - I maybe missing something basical
at this point because you and Rainer are pointing on things which
looks like trivial to you, but I'm still puzzled .... .
There is a solution though, via a 'Content' file in the project
solution, but I prefer these easy (/lazy) stuff.

victor,

make a backup copy of your emulator when everything is installed.
there should be a *.vsv file in

\documents and settings\yourname\application data\
