I am developing a .net cf application for a windows mobile device – the Motorola ES400.

The application maintains a log file which logs all handled exceptions and the unhandled global exception which was registered in global scope of the application in the Main method.

For some reason, while I was running the application on the phone, the application just froze – which means that I was not able to click on any buttons on the application or perform any other actions with the stylus. The application was totally unresponsive. When I went back to the phone Windows Mobile OS Start menu->Task Manager and tried to close the application, I could not. The task manager would not close the application. When I checked the logs, I could not see any unhandled exception logged through the registeres unhandled global exception routine.

I don’t understand what might be the problem here.

Does anyone have any idea on what might have happened based on your experience with .NET CF? Anywhere I could start looking or analyzing?

Thanks in advance for any help.

    If you get a hard fault (OS-level error like memeory access violation) then I’ve seen the system freeze while the Dr Watson logs are getting created.

    On the ES400 I don’t recall if there is a control panel applet to confugure the error reporting feature or not, but check there.

    If it was creating such a log, bu default I think it goes in a subfolder under \windows. But the whole process if configurable via the registry so you might want to look there.

    See here for the topic in general:

    And here specifically for the registry settings:
