You need to use CabwizSP for smartphone builds.   It's part of the WM2003 SDK.

I use it like this from a batch file/command line:

"C:\Program Files\Windows CE Tools\wce420\SMARTPHONE 2003\Tools\cabwizsp.exe" "D:\Data\My Documents\Visual Studio Projects\****PROGRAM HERE***\obj\Debug\***PROGRAM INF HERE***.inf" /dest "D:\Data\My Documents\Visual Studio Projects\****PROGRAM HERE***\obj\Debug" /err CabWiz.SMP.log /cpu ARMV4

Found this out also, but in batch file there isd a complete different path for cabwiz.

How to tell VSNet the right path, didnt found out it.

To lazy to type in batch.

Hey, but now a can copy and past from ur post!


But there is also the new pass to set in the inf file at several places.

But how to set the right path in VS , so that i must not do all that changes in the bat and inf file ?

Thx for your reply !

well i can't get Backlight.exe to work with my SPV C500, you say that you have to install opencf.net, but how to ?

I have download SmartDeviceFramework12 here at http://www.opennetcf...x?category=Home

But i can get it to works with my windows sp2, it says Microsoft visual studio.net 2003 with the compact framework is required ...

Anyway thx dieter98 and gaplayer26 for the aswers !

You dont need a cab for the last file, just copy in Storage folder and start it.

Thanks dieter98,

I copied the BackLite.exe to my Smartphone and even created a speed dial for it. However, the backlite does not turn off and on. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Robert

which version you have, the with opnnet or the smaller without.

the smaller  set displaylite to half, after defined time for normal backlite after a keypress is over.
if you set timeout for backlite after keypresses on never, my app cant work.

Here is the code I played around with.
Maybee it looks a little bit confused, but was only for testing and I took the relevant things from it in another app.

Try to improve it or not.

Hi, i am new to smartphone programming so be gentle.

Ive install the OpenNetCf frame work and i have VS.Net 2003 (My full time job is programming so we get this as part of some sort of subscription from MS.  Im a foxpro man).  I have tried to open the project up, but VS.Net tells me to go away.  It says, unable to read the project file .

Could you give me some tips on why this isn't opening?  Is there something that i need to install into VS.Net from the DVD?

Cheers

Have you installed the Smartphone 2003 SDK?  It's available from Microsoft - you'll need this in addition to  VS2003 and the OPENNetCF.org libraries....
