Question on deploying to Pocket PC with CF in ROM

[Matt Marshall]

I am developing and deploying to a ViewSonic V37 with the .NET CF
preinstalled in ROM. Questions:

1) I see that the Visual Studio deployment insists on copying the CF over to
RAM on the device - is there any way to prevent this?

2) If not, when the code executes on the device, does it use the ROM version
(upgraded to Service Pack 1) or the RAM version (currently the pre Service
Pack version)?

I think you are mistaken. The ROM verstion is pre-service pack, while SP1
installs into RAM

Sorry about that - it should read:

2) If not, when the code executes on the device, does it use the RAM version
(upgraded to Service Pack 1) or the ROM version ?

Same question, however.

Visual Studio will install the String Resource Package - System_SR_xx.cab
where xx is the language code. It should not deploy the framework itself as
it checks for the presence of the framework during deployment. It behaves
correctly on my V37...
