Copying a database to emulator at run time

[Claire]

Im running a demo database application for a pocketpc device. When it runs
in debug mode in the emulator I notice that it also downloads the associated
database file with it. I'm using c# in Visual Studio .net 2003
How do I do the same thing please? I don't know where to look to find out
where that sort of thing's configured.

hi,

All the files marked as "Content" are copied when you deploy an application
to the emulator, that is the easier way to copy a file to the emulator, if
you need to transfer a file at runtime it's more comlicated, and AFAIK it
cannot be donde from the IDE , there is a program that allows you to do it,
I dont remember the name of it, I used it only once, I found it the name is
PPCEmulatorFileSender.exe I don't remember where I downloaded it from, I can
send it to you if you want.

tip, for question regarding the compact framework you better post in the
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.compactframework NG

cheers,
