I have used block mode before, bu...
I'm trying to debug into a C dll that is invoked on a Windows Mobile device using CeRapiInvoke() (Technically RAPI.Invoke() from OpenNETCF) from a Windows box. I'm very familiar with attaching to a process that is already running to debug a loaded dll (I've done it many time with Windows Mobile services) but I can't seem to figure out w...
When running the default c++ project in Visual Studios for a Windows CE 5.0 device, I get an error complaining about missing resources. Depends says that my executable needs ayghsell.dll (the Windows Mobile shell), and CoreDll.dll.

I recently bought a Windows Mobile device and since I'm a developer I want to use it as a development platform. Yes, it's not supposed to be used like that but it's always with me and my laptop isn't. I know cke is a good editor for code but how can I run JavaScript/Ruby code without too much of a headache? I probably could write a web ...

After installing VS2008, the platform builder mod, and the WM7 aku, VS usually prompts you, upon first startup, for your default mode.

I can also configure my normal connection settings, ...
