Hi,
I have been using the pocket pc 2003 se emulator to test a mobile
application I have been developing. The emulator has been working fine up to
now, but now my application has gotten bigger, and I keep on getting "out of
memory" exceptions while running my application.
I looked around the configuration for the device in Visual Studio 2005, and
found that there is a setting to set the RAM size of the emulator, which I
assume will solve my problem? However I changed the RAM size in the
configuration to 128MB, but when I start the emulator and check the settings
it says the RAM is 64MB, and I can't change it. I went back to Visual Studio
2005 and checked the configuration I had changed and it still says 128MB!
What am I doing wrong??
My application runs perfectly on a PDA with enough mem, but I do not have
permanent access to one, so most of the time the emulator is what I've got
to use.
Note: I've tried doing resets on the device (both soft and hard), but I've
had no joy with it.
Thanks
Calvin

AFAIK, it may be impossible to set the RAM size of an emulator if the given
emulator hasn't provided such feature or option to let you do so.
In this case, since the Pocket PC 2003 SE hasn't such setting to let
developers to change its RAM size, so you cannot achieve this via the
VS2005's corresponding configuration setting, unless the Pocket PC emulator
itself provides such option. I think that new VS2005 setting does not serve
the current Pocket PC 2003 SE.
By the way, for the issues about the VS2005, I suggest you post them to our
MSDN Forum, such as:

Thanks for your understanding!
