How to: Install a custom app on the Pocket PC

[Harold]

OK, so I just bought an iPaq 4705. And I wrote a quick C# app in Visual
Studio 2003 and was able to deploy it to both the emulator and the
iPaq. When I deploy to the iPaq, the app only runs for a short while
and there's no way to restart it. How do I install this app onto the
iPaq?

What do you mean that the app only runs for a short time? Does it crash,
hang, or do you close it?

 

[Harold]

I guess that it crashes. N.B. this is _after_ I have removed the iPaq
from the cradle. It runs, I can switch tabs and open new dialogs. But
it disappears after a while.
My goal is to install the app so I can invoke it from Programs or some
other way when the iPaq is not cradled.

I suppose you have run your application in the Debug mode (F5) and when
you removed iPAQ from the cradle it had been terminated. Actually your
application was deployed and you can see it on your device in the
/Program Files/ApplicationName.

Thanks Sergey, you were correct, the application was deployed and
installed on the iPaq.
