Exception messages from System.SR.dll

Hi

Concerns WM 5.0 and PPC device and VS 2005 .

Is it possible to display the buildin English exception messages from (english)System.SR.dll when using a PPC that is Danish localized.

The problem is that when an exception is thrown by the system, the exception message dialog or string, says that the resource with error strings is not found.

However the System.SR.dll is located in the PPC's Windows directory, but that one is in english, which is okay.

I can see that there is localized versions of System.SR.dll for German language and other languages in Visual Studio's "SmartDevices\......\Diagnostic" directory. But there are no Danish locale.

I have tried to search for newsgroups for this, but I cannot find any, with the same kind if problem.

    Hi

    Daan from http://www.dotnetnewsgroups.com/newsgroupthread.asp solved the problem for me. Here is the fix...

    Daan was able to fix this like this:
    - find the file \Microsoft Visual Studio
    8\SmartDevices\SDK\CompactFramework\2.0\v2.0\WindowsCE\Diagnostics\System_SR_ENU_wm.CAB
    - Copy this file to your PDA
    - Run the file on your PDA

    Thanks....

    Not only it's possible to show ENU strings, it's the default behavior if messages in particular locale are not found. Please make sure System.SR.CAB is indeed installed. If you see System.SR.Dll, it's not properly installed as this DLL should be moved to GAC (after you run your first managed application).
