get the imaging library into your build (assuming you don't want PIE of

Hi,
I dont know enough about what is happening to be able to accuratly
describe what i see, so please do ask 1000's of questions if
required.
I have the PAth.Combine wtuff in there. It does indeed appear to
find the bitmap, but fails to load it.
The exception is a show stopper, the application closes afterwards.
An unexpected error has occurred in BmpTest.exe
Select Quite and then restart this program, or select Details for
more information.
<details>
Error
BmpTest.exe
Exception
Application:Run+0xf
Form1::Main+0xa
It happens at the line of code:
string sImage = GetApplicationPath() + @"SideBarImage.png";
bmSidePanelImage = new Bitmap( sImage ); // HERE
j
Did you get the FileNotFoundException? Make sure that:
1. Sidebar.bmp exists in the application's directory
2. Instead of "Sidebar.bmp" use:
------------8<-------------------------------
Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(Path.Combine(AppDir, "Sidebar.bmp"));
...
private string AppDir
{
get
{
return
Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().CodeBase);
}
}

This crashes. I have tried with a png and it again crashes.

Bitmap constructor is causing an exception and the application
exits. The is under WinCE5.0, .netCF and deployed with VS2003.
Anyone else seen and / or solved this problem?

I ran DelCryptoKey for my processor (ARMV4I), and then tried to execute my
application and again, i get the same issue.

Chris Tacke said:Yep, I can verify that it occurs on any system with a persistent registry
and is the cause for many a support call. Take a look at my blog entry:

Been doing some tests on this issue over the last few days... If i take
a brand new device out of the box, never programmed, and put a platform
image on to it, then load my software to the device via platform builder
file viewer, then completly disconnect from the device, and run my app
it runs as expected.
Now i can restart the device, whatever.. the program always runs.
If i deploy from visual studio to the device and install the cab files
it wants me to install, and deploy anything at all, not necessary the
program in question, i can never run another application on the device.
Ever, no matter what i do. - reload the platform bin file, delete the
registy, nope, neither allow the software to run again.
If i flash the NAND storage on the device back to factory setup, and
reload the platform bin file, and my program it runs again.
Deploying from visual studio is perminantly breaking somthing that
causes my app to fail, and only by reformatting the nand and reloading
the platform bin file can i get it to work again.

So if you push the app to the device without Studio (a storage card,
USB, ActiveSyc, etc.) and run it does it fail?

PIE is already included in the image. The bitmaps used to load, then
one day (without a change to the image) they stopped working.
My best guess is visual studio is currupting the device some how
during deploy. Once the device has been currupted, it never recovers.
We have several devices, all with the same bin file installed, and
some work, some dont - very strange.

Ahhh, so now we're getting somewhere. My bet is your image doesn't
have the proper imaging DLL, so the underlying classes are not able
to load them. In 4.2 it was imgdecmp.dll, which loads with PIE or
through manual BIB editing (it's not directly in the catalog). Add
PIE to your platform and see if it works - if it does, then you'll
have to do some work to just get the imaging library into your build
(assuming you don't want PIE of course).
