Hi,
I've posted this on the OpenNetCF forum, but since this place is usually more active and there are a lot of SDF users here, I figured this could be of benefit to others here as well...
A couple of questions (I did some searches but didn't run into anything that seemed to address this
I've been fiddling around with the SDF for a few days (first with 1.1, now with 1.2.) I've added a "JumpToAnchor" method to the HTML viewer (I need it in my app) and now I'm having a little problem deploying the modified SDF. I recompiled (lots of warnings in there, by the way [
]) and then went to recreate the CAB file (Build Cab). However, the resulting CAB is much smaller than the one copied by the SDF installer to the VS.Net directory structure - in fact it looks like multiple CAB files are being created, while the SDF installer has everything in one CAB file?
I copied the new OpenNetCF.Windows.Forms.dll file to the VS.Net location, but since it is redeploying the CAB file, the changes are not reflected and the application crashes with a TypeLoadException. I found that copying the dll to the application's directory on the PDA solves that.. However I'm looking for a more robust solution. So essentially I'd like to know how to rebuild the CAB file correctly so I can copy it as-is to the VS.Net directory so it gets redeployed correctly.
I'd also like to know where the DLLs end up. After copying the DLL myself, I can see it using the Windows Explorer, but before that I could not see it (nor can I see any of the other DLLs.)
