Thanks Malcolm for your reply. I did have the action set
to content. It is reading the ini file now. This is
strange.
Here's some settings in my INISettings Class.
?_AppName
"PocketPCApp1"
?_fileName
@"\Windows\Start Menu\PocketPCApp1.txt"
If I use the PPC file explorer and navigate to
Windows\Start Menu I see my application executable, but I
do not see the .txt file.
If I use the PPC and do : Start, Programs, I see an Icon
for the PocketPCApp1.txt and if I tap on it, it opens the
file as expected with Pocket Word.
I don't want it to show up when the user is viewing the
Programs window. Everytime I build and deploy my app
from VS, it puts another PocketPCApp1.txt(1) etc out
there. Now my About box is running fine. Which means
the file opened using the path above(?), but I don't see
the file in this path. I can't figure this out. I'll
check out the add in mentioned below. Thanks!
