[RESOLVED] works on emulator not on phone

[scottlafoy]

Hi every one,

I am developing a mobile app that connects to a database stored on a computer. The application works with no problems on the emulator, but when I put it on the phone nothing happens. I tried creating a .cab file and then installing it. It installs the file but when I click on it the "thinking circle" spins for a minute, then stops and nothing happens. I have tried to copy just the .exe file over to the phone but it gets the same results. I have included a file with my phone app, I would really appreciate it if someone could let me know where I went wrong.

Thank you in advance,

Scott

Hi,
looking at the code, you should get an error message when you try to open.
Try just attaching the phone, and running the app from Visual Studio targetting the device and see if that works.

Also - see if you can ping that IP Address from your phone - could be a firewall issue.

Thank you for your reply.
I was having a problem with the phone connect to the computer I am writing this on. I am using server 2008 and the software for the phone will not install. The database is on an other computer, I took the shotgun approch to get it working and shut off the firewall. I will turn it on lator once I get this working. I was un aware that I could hook up the phone to visual basic. I will try to get the phone connection problem solved.

Thanks again,
Scott
