Hello,
I've installed OpenNETCF on a pc and I manged to reference the project to
use OpenNETCF. It also placed an extra tab on the Toolbox. Afterwards I
received a new pc an re-installed everything, but I just can't manage to get
it to work again :( i also have to admit I can't remember which part of the
class i referenced an i can't find any description. Does anyone have some
kind of HOW-TO to get the OpenNETCF to work ?
Thanx...
 
Simply creating a new application using the OpenNETCF template should work.
Alternatively you could add a reference to the OpenNETCF library and add a
"Imports" or "using" clause at the top of your code page.

damn... I allready tried both of those.. when I start an OpenNETCF program it just wont place the extra tab in the toolbar. And when I use the reference where to should I reference it ? Just OpenNETCF or OpenNETCF.System.Windows.Forms ??
 
Are you talking about an extra tab in the toolbox of Visual Studio.NET? It
should be there after you installed the Smart Device Framework. Three
minutes prior to the OpenNETCF talk we gave at MDC I had the same thing
happening. I had to hard reset my system while Visual Studio was still open
and I lost the OpenNETCF controls tab afterwards. Uninstalling SDF and
immediately reinstalling SDF again fixed the problem, you might want to try
the same thing.

Ah, for the tab in the toolbox you should get that by simply running the SDF
install MSI.

hello guys
first of all thanx for the replys, unfortunately it didn't help :
i did the following (to an allready existing project)
1- i did Project-->add reference in the window i selected OpenNETCF (do i have to select any other like OpenNETCF.Windows.Forms ???
2- then I tried to place using OpenNETCF in my source-file... While typing it I pressed the dot-key so I could see what namespaces where available but there was no Windows.Forms on the other hand there was a Win32 namespace under OpenNETCF (maybe this helps u)... Any idea what is going on here ??
Thanx
