Browsing Emulator files
|
|
| Rick Strahl [MVP] 2005-05-26, 3:58 am |
| Hi all,
Is there anyway to look at the Emulator's files in the 2003 SmartPhone SDK?
I know with WM 5.0 or with Beta 2 VS.NET Emulators I can connect with
ActiveSync and look at the files of the Emulator, but I can't figure out a
way to do the same sort of thing with the current SDK?
Basically I need to look at files and delete or launch etc.
Why the heck doesn't the Emulator include a File Manager like the real
phones do?

If you have eVC installed, Tools->Remote File Viewer

MS doesn't ship a file manager, HTC makes their own. if memory serves
motorola licenes a third party one.

| Any idea why?
This seems silly. File browsing is one of the most basic features of an OS.
Anybody know if it's possible to get the 2003 Emulator hooked up to
ActiveSync so you can at least look at files other than dumping out from
code?

IMHO: a phone should be more an appliance, than a computer.
Non-smartphones, and portable music devices oftern don't have a file
browser, as you shouldn't need one, if you do then it suggests the apps
arn't written right. Powerusers will want one, and can get one, via
third parties.

you can, but it's 'tricky'. i would recommend the new emulators in
VS2005, they have simplified the process.
I think this article still applies to 2003:

A better way is to use Remote File Viewer, I assume this isn't an option
for you?

| I actually found a file manager that would work great if I could figure out
a way to install the thing <g>...
http://www.businessanyplace.net/?p=spfileman
It works great when I ran from VS, but I can't figure out a way to get it
installed onto the emulator. I build a Cab file for it and tried to deploy
but the emulator doesn't want deploy any apps. It works fine on my actual
phone...
Remote File Viewer - is it part of the SDK or just the Platform Builder SDK?

remember the devices are ARM based and the old emulators are x86.

It's part of embedded visual c or Visual studio
