To run the code sample

  1. Navigate to the solution file (*.sln), and double-click it. By default, the solution file is copied to the following folder:

    C:\Program Files\Windows Mobile 6 SDK\Samples\PocketPC\CPP\win32\memwatcher

    Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 launches and loads the solution.

  2. Build the solution (Ctrl+Shift+B).

  3. Deploy the solution (F5).

To use the application

  1. Copy the CAB file to your mobile device and execute it.

  2. From the Start menu on the mobile device, click Settings > Personal > Today > Items.

  3. Click OK. This causes Windows Mobile to reload all of the Today Screen applications, including Memwatcher.
