Re: Hi, Any work around for windows mobile 6 dynamic loading warni

Have you installed the cert onto the device? you can easily do this by
creating an xml file in the format expected by the certificateStore
configuration service provider and wrap this up into a cab file - ensure the
xml file is named _setup.xml (ensure you include the underscrore as the
install won't work otherwise).

Hi ,

Thanks for your reply!

Based on your instruction i created a self signing certificate and used that
to sign the dll. Then included the dll during runtime. The message still
appears (for the first time only after each recompilation) .

is the any other places where i got to include the dll or any other clue?

Is there any way to avoid the below message while dynamicaly loading
the a dll into windows mobile 6, without signing the dll ?

"Starting this program requires a component from an unknown
publisher.
You should start the program only if you trust the component's
publisher. Do you want to continue?"

In general you can not avoid this prompt without signing your DLL, unless
your deployment scenario and device selection enables you to change to a
less restrictive device security model.

Depending upon the device (and vendor) in question you may not be able to
easily change the security model utilised by your device and it may not be
something end users would be happy to do to their device at any rate.

If you want to get rid of this prompt on a device that employs the "one or
two tier with prompt" security model without needing modifications to the
PDAs, your only option is to purchase a code signing certificate from the
likes of Verisign.

The Window Mobile 6 SDK contains sample certificates you may be able to use
during development.

Hope this helps,
