  • You could just configure the application to automatically start when the Windows Mobile device does (should work the same in the emulator and on a real device).  Easiest way to do this is putting a shortcut to the app in \Windows\Startup

  • Naineol,

    Yes you can do that.

    1. If you are running the application through code then you have to select "Target Device" as "Emulator" & run your application.

    2. If you dont want to run your application through code then you have to make CAB file of your application & install it on your emulator and finally run your application.
        for making CAB file you can refer :  http://www.devx.com/wireless/Article/31198/1954

    Hope this will help.
