Can a WM6 emulator have a memory card?

We are currently developing Windows Mobile using the WM6 Professional emulator through visual studio 2008. My question is: can you get an image of the emulator to simulate the presence of a memory card? We run our SQLCE 3.5 database from a removable memory card on our devices, and it would be nice for the emulator to simulate this situation. We looked at the emulator configuration settings and did not come across this option.

We have mobile devices sitting on the table, so we can always simply deploy them directly to solve this problem, but I thought it was still worth asking the group.

Yes, you can configure a memory card for the emulator.

In the emulator window, go to File / Configure. On the General tab, there is an option for the shared folder. You can specify this in a directory on your host computer. The directory will appear as a storage cord on em.

As already mentioned, yes, the memory card is emulated. It was considered useful to always check the real hardware device before release. I found that sometimes the memory card on the emulator is not 100% consistent with access to hardware. In fact, an emulator may be a bit of a mistake in this regard.

For example, I use SQLITE extensively in my PDA applications. Sometimes I cannot get the emulator to create a new database file, even if the same code works fine on the device.

Point: it’s great for testing, but it will sometimes fail, and if some code doesn’t execute, you think you should ... run it on a hardware device before you spend hours troubleshooting the emulator.
