Hi,
I'm into PocketPC programming. Currently i'm developing a chat
application on PocketPC using C#. For my application, i need to display
text in multiple colors. As RichTextBox control is not available in
SmartDeviceApplications, i started browsing on the net. I downloaded
the trial version of RichInk and run the setup. I added the dll to the
toolbox and i'm
able to drag and drop the control on to my form. It compiled but its
throwing an
exception saying "An unhandled exception of type
'System.ApplicationException' occurred
in Intelliprog.Windows.Forms.RichInk.dll. The required unmanaged
Message.dll component
is either missing, not in an appropriate location, or is corrupt.
MissingMethodException". How do i come over with this? Or is there any
other way that could solve my problem? Please help!
 
Hari,

The readme.txt contains the information about your problem. The message.dll
is a native component, so make sure that you're using an appropriate version
when running your program in the emulator (x86) or device (ARM).
 
Hi Alex,
Thanx for the suggestion. I did'nt find readme.txt file. What
all i've downloaded RichInk_Trial_Setup file. I've found the readme.txt
when i run the setup. Where do i find it again. And how to find the
version of the emulator and PPC. I'm new to PocketPC programming. And
the current project is a chat application. Actually, what i'm looking
for is a textbox that could display multiple colors i.e,( two colors,
one for incoming and one for outgoing msgs). Please guide me through
this.
Thanx.
-Hari
