Newbie not getting anything to happen

I build a custom version of WCE4.2 that includes the .Net CF. The build also
includes Telnet and FTP. It is a headless appliance with a NULL device for a
display plus a Console and Command interface.

I've since found out the headless designed are not supported in CF
platforms. But...

I built a couple of test apps in VB.net using VS-2003. They were built
using the SmartDevice->WinCE->Console App settings. One simply writes
HelloWorld to the console and the other writes a tiny file. The .exe file
for each was copied (via FTP) to the WinCE device, and run from the command
line via telnet. Both appear to run in the sense that the command prompt
returns, but do nothing...no console output nor file creation. I thought I'd
at least see a response on the console.

Any ideas what is happening? If CF aborts running an app, or fails to load
and run it, shouldn't I see an error message on the console?
 
Make sure you have CF files in \windows (mscoree*.dll, cgacutil.exe,
GAC_*.dll).

The error message would be on the null video, not console. That might be a
challenge.

I also suspect some dependencies might be missing in your configuration.



Best regards,



Ilya
