dotnet compact framework
group:How to get "data" onto an emulated PPC
dotnet compact framework:
cradled. The program to put the data onto the PPC is written and works but I'd like to develop and test the app (that will run on the PPC) using a PPC emulator. Everything about that (using VS2003) is easy except getting the data onto the emulated PPC. I (so far) haven't figured out how to let the app on the emulator get at the same data that the real PPC will use. Am I being particularly dense? Is this something that can be done or will I have to test on the real PPC? Thanks, Bob
Ah HAH!! I just figured it out.
I simply added the data files to my "Project" and when I run the app in debug mode deployed to the emulator, it copies them there for me. If there's a better, more intelligent way, please feel free to enlighten me.

The emulator allows you to set up a folder (through the Setting menu) on the
host PC as a "shared" folder. It will show up as an installed storage card on the emulator. -- Chris Tacke Co-founder OpenNETCF.org Are you using the SDF? Let's do a case study.

I agree with Ginny, that's what I do... You can map a drive and folder to
the emulator file system, and use that (which I have done, too). Dick -- Richard Grier (Microsoft Visual Basic MVP) See www.hardandsoftware.net for contact information.

Sam,
That's the easiest way, and I use it a lot for testing. -- Ginny Caughey ..NET Compact Framework MVP [quoted text, click to view] "Sam Malone" <the_sam_malone@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:u3hBgSVDGHA.1180@TK2MSFTNGP09.phx.gbl... > Ah HAH!!

I'd like to try this method (the shared folder). I've looked at the emulator
Setting menu (at least I think I have) and see nothing there to so as you suggest. I used the "Setting" menu on the emulated PPC itself (as if I we holding a PocketPC in my hand). Is that what you mean?

Nope, it's part of the emulator engine.

My apologies if I'm being particularly dense but I still can't find it.
We are talking about VS2003 are we? If so, I guess I'm going to need very explicit instructions on how to get to what it is you're referring to.

MUCH better. Still not good but we're probably getting a lot closer.
I did as you instructed (below) and now I can (using File Explorer) "browse" the content of that shared PC folder. I have no idea how my program (running on the emulated PPC) would "see" that data so I tried using the File Explorer to copy/paste it from the shared PC folder to the folder on the PPC where the exectable of my app is. That produced the following error: Cannot copy XXXXXXX (where XXXXXXX is the name of the file without its PC extension) Executable and resource files in ROM cannot be copied. The file I'm trying to copy is an XML file [quoted text, click to view] "<ctacke/>" <ctacke_AT_OpenNETCF_com> wrote in message news:%23%23DUtqgDGHA.2924@tk2msftngp13.phx.gbl... > Under the PPC 2003 emulator in Studio '03 follow these steps: > > 1.

Under the PPC 2003 emulator in Studio '03 follow these steps:
1. Share a folder on your PC 2. In File Explorer on the emulator select File -> Open 3. Enter \\MyComputerName and hit Enter 4. Enter your username/password for your PC 5.
