Chapter 8 - Managing the Computer Developing and Installing Applications Use the Intermec Resource Kits to develop applications to run on the mobile computer. 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 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. Intermec recommends using .cab files to install your applications. The computer 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 mobile computer: • 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 card creates the Storage Card folder on the computer. • 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. When AutoRun is installed on the computer, all .cab files in the CabFiles folder are automatically extracted after a cold boot. For more information about AutoRun, see the Intermec Developer Library Resource Kit Developer's Guide. 86 CS40 Mobile Computer User's Manual
