• Smart Device Development Unable to deploy to emulator

  Hi, I created an empty vb.net device application (v2.0). Add a label and a textbox. Pressed F5. After a while the emulator starts and I don't see the application in the emulator. After a while I get a message that that 'application could not be deployed'. Am I missing some steps Thanks, Ivan You can effectively change the ip of the emulator directly on pocket pc images.  Visual Studio will detect the new ip when you try to connect again. As for the loopback adapter solution, there is a similar KB article for 2000 available at: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q236869/ ...Show All

  Hi there, sorry for the stupid Q Is there a way to retrieve a MAC Address from a client machine in ASP.NET I have found a way of retrieving the MAC address for the local machine (Server) but would require it for the client.
