Iv got a Compact Framework application, and i want to make a "sample" of it
for desktop computers.
So im thinking about using an emulator with my application, then use it on
desktop for training/ sampling purposes.

The problem is that i dont know if this is possible.
And if it is, what steps must i do?

Thx for help,
Felipe
 
The Emulator by itself is not re-distributable. You would need to have the
SDK downloaded to a machine to run on it. We are doing something similar
for demos.

What I've been doing is showing the Compact Framework app on a PC. The form
sizing seems to change a bit (the form is a little wider on the PC than it
is on the PPC), but other than that all of my PocketPC .NET apps run on a PC
without problems.

We have a lot of API calls that will fail ... I probably should rethink how
to make the same version work on the desktop.

For all of your API calls, make an intermediary call that can tell the
difference between the OS versions that will call the correct Windows API.
That doesn't make much sense though, but this might:

public void DoSomething(){
MakeAnAPICall();
}

internal void MakeAnAPICall(){
if ( Environment.OSVersion.Platform == PlatformID.WinCE )
CallTheCFAPI();
else
CallTheWin32API();
}

Ill deploy a PC solution with the Picture of the Pocket Itself. A kind of
emulation of the emulator...
I analised my DB Class of the PocketPc project, and i can change it easilly
to use with other databases than SQLCE.

Thanx ppl
 
I believe I saw Chris Tacke answer "no" to this recently. Anything platform
specific would have to be factored so that it could be retargeted.

Clever and a good way to support sales team doing presentations on
projectors.
