Chapter 3 - Developing and Installing Applications Developing Applications for the Computer Use the Intermec Resource Kits to develop applications to run on the CN50. The Resource Kits are a library of C++, .NET, Java, and web components grouped by functionality that you can use to create applications for the computer. The Resource Kits are part of the Intermec Developer Library (IDL), and can be downloaded from the Intermec web site at www.intermec.com/idl. For more information, see the Intermec Developer Library (IDL) Resource Kit Developer's Guide. Packaging Your Application For very simple applications, the executable file may be the only file you need to deploy. More typically, you will have a set of files to install. You can also copy a directory structure that contains the application, supporting files, DLLs, images, and data files. Intermec recommends using .cab files to install your applications. The CN50 uses standard Windows Mobile .cab files and will install third-party .cab files. Choosing a Target Location You can have your .cab file place your application in any of these memory locations on the CN50: • The ObjectStore. • The optional microSD card. Depending on available disk space, you may want to consider installing your application files on the microSD card. Using a microSD card creates the Storage Card folder on the CN50. • The non-volatile Flash File Store. Applications and data in the Flash File Store will persist through a clean boot. Files copied to any of these locations are safe when you cold boot the computer as long as the AutoRun system is installed in the appropriate location. When you copy a .cab file to the \CabFiles folder, the folder automatically extracts that .cab file on every cold boot.For more information about AutoRun, see the Intermec Developer Library (IDL) Resource Kit Developer's Guide. 66 CN50 Mobile Computer for Windows Mobile 6.1 User's Manual

Developing Applications for the Computer
Use the Intermec Resource Kits to develop applications to run on the
CN50. The Resource Kits are a library of C++, .NET, Java, and web
components grouped by functionality that you can use to create
applications for the computer. The Resource Kits are part of the
Intermec Developer Library (IDL), and can be downloaded from the
Intermec web site at
www.intermec.com/idl
. For more information,
see the
Intermec Developer Library (IDL) Resource Kit
Developer’s Guide
.
Packaging Your Application
For very simple applications, the executable file may be the only file
you need to deploy. More typically, you will have a set of files to install.
You can also copy a directory structure that contains the application,
supporting files, DLLs, images, and data files.
Intermec recommends using .cab files to install your applications. The
CN50 uses standard Windows Mobile .cab files and will install
third-party .cab files.
Choosing a Target Location
You can have your .cab file place your application in any of these
memory locations on the CN50:
•
The ObjectStore.
•
The optional microSD card. Depending on available disk space,
you may want to consider installing your application files on the
microSD card. Using a microSD card creates the Storage Card
folder on the CN50.
•
The non-volatile Flash File Store. Applications and data in the
Flash File Store will persist through a clean boot.
Files copied to any of these locations are safe when you cold boot the
computer as long as the AutoRun system is installed in the appropriate
location. When you copy a .cab file to the \CabFiles folder, the folder
automatically extracts that .cab file on every cold boot.For more
information about AutoRun, see the
