First program for Clio

[Plauscher]

I've been writing programs for a few months on my PC and I'm not sure why my first Clio program has to be so difficult. I'm starting out with just a "Hello World" type of program.

Sub Globals
'Declare the global variables here.

End Sub

Sub App_Start
Msgbox("Hello World")
End Sub

When I try to run it on the Clio I get
Error
NotSupportedException

MISC::HandleAr+0x4a
InputPanel::.ctor+0x3c
CRunner::newCrunner+0x6
CRunner::.ctor+0xed

I add the extension .net to the .exe filename so that .net will execute it. I'm using Basic4PPC ver 6.50. I compile with no optimization. I have .netcf v1.0 on the Clio. I've downloaded other netcf 1.0 programs that run OK. The only thing that I didn't try was uninstalling a newer version of Basic4PPC that I have on my desktop. I'm thinking perhaps the code being generated is netcf 2.0. Is there an easy way to check this?
Thanks for any help.

Doesn't seem related to the .Net CF. Can you post a link to the device specifications?

I add the extension .net to the .exe filename so that .net will execute it.

That's the part I don't understand. Why would that be necessary?

Mike.

Isn't a Clio a Palm product.
I can only presume he is running some sort of emulator on the Clio.

Sorry my answer doesn't actually help the OP.
Bit more info needed.

Vadem Clio C-1050 Review - HPC Factor

Vadem Clio C-1050 Win CE 2.11 168-MHz VR4121 32 MB RAM
from HPCfactor.com
the .NET Compact Framework 1.0, Service Pack 3, has recently been ported successfully to Windows CE 2.0, 2.01, and 2.11, opening the door for users of the Clio and other Windows CE 2.xx devices to run many Pocket PC applications written for the .NET Compact Framework 1.0.

Without the .net addition to the filename, the error message is "not a valid Windows CE application.

I didn't pay anything for this Clio, it was getting thrown away. It would be fun to be able to get some of my programs on it, but it's not a problem if that's not possible.
Thanks for any help.

It's been a while since I've tried programming the Clio in Basic4PPC. I did a little searching and found a nice little C compiler and IDE that works OK on the Clio. It isn't supported anymore by the developer, but if you're just goofing around like I was, it is fine.
The site Orbworks.com still has it for free download. It's called PocketC CE. I only put this post here so that Clio owners can get a little use out of their machines.:sign0089:
