Iv been encountering problems with disk space when deploying my app to a pocket pc emulator.
So what Iv done is set up a shared directory on my pc to simulate a SD card, Iv copied the program there manually and then run it from the emulator, with this approach I still need to do the visual studio deployment as well so that so that the .net compact framework gets copied over.
How do I make visual studio deploy to the shared dir? The ‘Output file folder’ is grayed out and I can only choose from a list of pre-defined locations.
Sorry maybe I want not clear, when I said ‘I can only choose from a list of pre-defined locations’, I was referring to the the options in the [..] menu. I need some sort of free text entry. I want something like d:\MyShare.
The best I was thinking is to manually edit the solution xml, but that seems a poor approach?
The ‘Output File Folder’ under Properties->Devices is greyed out, but the […] button just to the right of it isn’t. Adjust it there.
NOTE: To clarify, You click on the […] button and you get a dialog that allows you to select a folder from the device (‘Location of output on device’) and enter an additional subfolder (‘Subdirectory’). Now it may seem that you’re forced to use a specific folder here, but one of the dropdown options is ‘Root Folder’ which is ‘\’. You can then add your folder, like ‘Storage Card’ as the Subdirectory and get a deployment folder of ‘\Storage Card’. Intuitive? No. But you can construct any output folder you want.
