Pocket PC 2003 emulator and a third party DLL question.

[Guest]

Hi,

I want to test my code, which uses a third pary dll, using Pocket PC 2003
emulator.

Could you please let me know how a third party dll can be
copied to the emulator.

When I looked in the directory,
C:\Program Files\Windows CE Tools\wce420\POCKET PC 2003\Target
on my PC, I found Arm4 and X86 directories. Is that means we can
use a dll that is created for either ARM4 or X86 processor?
Apparently, in my case the third party dll is created for, ARM, MIPS and SH3
processors. In this situation can I use the dll for ARM processor in the
emulator?

Kindly let me know.

Cheers,

Naveen.

The existing VS emulators are x86 so you cannot use dlls targeting e.g. ARM
(VS2005 emulators are ARM so you will be OK there).

As for copying the dll to the emulator, the easiest approach is to add them
as content to your project and deploy.

Cheers

You can refer it in your project, and when you dispose it, the dll will be
dispended in simulator!
