CF Today Screen example

http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=477208&SiteID=1

msndn에 나오는 예제가 잘 되지 않는것에 대한 토론..
뭐가 문제일까.. 난 잘안되더구만..
일단은 vs 2003으로 managed를 컴파일해야하는거 같고.
evc4로 unmanaged를 컴파일해야하는거 같다..
역시.. C#으론는 힘들겠군;; 차라리 evc로 잘해보는게 날듯... ㅡ.ㅡ;;

Hey guys, I have tried to get the following to work; http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnppcgen/html/todayscrn.asp But there seems to be files missing... Could someone point me in the direction of a quick start on building Today Screens... Thanks Keni Keni Barwick   Report Abuse

Which file you believe is missing? Perhaps that’s the native DLL which you have to compile with eVC? This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.   Report Abuse

13 Jun 2006, 4:23 PM UTC KeniBarwick Posts 3 Re: CF Today Screen example Was this post helpful ? I was able to build the Today Screen Plug-in Host via eVC. After building the TodayScreenWizard.msi I proceeded to install it... I tried the Device installation but I couldn't find the TodayScreenSupport.msi... It is then I relised that the Managed code solution hadn't built it as it wasn't a part of the solution... I have tried to add it, but it seems as the folder containing the files is empty... I have reinstalled this sample a couple of times now, still to no avail... When I load the TodayScreenSupport_Managed Solution I get this error... The application for project '..........\TodayScreenSupportCab.vcproj' is not installed. Make sure the application for the project type (.vcproj) is installed. Keni Barwick   Report Abuse

14 Jun 2006, 11:16 PM UTC Ilya Tumanov Posts 2,829 Re: CF Today Screen example Was this post helpful ? I’ve verified sample is complete and 100% functional. Here's what I've done: 1. Compiled native bits with VS 2005 (since I've no eVC installed), tweaked project to reflect output path changes. 2. Tweaked TodayScreenSupport.inf file so path to native bits would be correct. 3. Opened TodayScreenSupport_Managed.sln with VS 2003 and rebuild entire solution (release as article suggests), got TodayScreenSupport.msi which installs bits to device via AS and TodayScreenWizard.msi which installs VS 2003 plug in. Installed both… 4. Created new VS 2003 project using custom Today Screen item, rebuild. 5. Build CAB. 6. Installed CAB. 7. Updated Today via control paned. 8. Have big “.NET CF Today Screen” message on my device. If for some reason you can not build CABs with native bits (and MSI as you need CABs to build it), you can do it manually: 1. Navigate to C:\Program Files\.NET Compact Framework Samples\Today Screen\Code\Support\TodayScreenSupport_Managed\TodayScreenSupportCab\ 2. Execute: cabwiz.exe TodayScreenSupport.inf /cpu arm x86 Note: provide path to cabwiz.exe if needed. 3. Copy CAB to device and click on it. 4. Proceed with custom plug in project.

Believe me it’s incredibly frustrating when it works for other people and not yourself! The issue I'm having is that I can't build "TodayScreenSupport_Managed.sln " as the solution will not open without the following error... http://blogs.conchango.com/photos/conchango_bloggers/picture4080.aspx Which I feel relates to a missing file or two... Now I have installed this sample three times now and still with the same problem... I'm guessing I'm missing a step that will eventually create the code for the Managed Solution part that I'm missing... Again your work on this is greatly appreciated...
