I'm in need of some help. I'm playing with the pocket PC emulator on a windows xp pro machine.

What i'm trying to do is have my vb.net application on the emulator use a web service located on the same machine.

And this is not working i keep getting errors.

Now my question is do i need to do some configuration of the emulator in order to do this?

example does emulator need it's own IP address before it can use web services/IE? or wouldn't it just use the loopback because it's located on the same machine as the web service?

all i have is a button and on the click evt it does this

dim webObj as new localhost.service1
label1.text = webObj.webFunction()


or i'm also thinking that i would run into the same problem if i was to try and have the emulator connect to my ASP.NET application (if i created one.)

So how is everyone solving this problem of creating/testing programs for pocket pc's using the VS.NET 2003 IDE?

cheers..

Any insite at all will be helpful!

sorry.. i was dumb. I guess i needed my cable hooked up to my laptop, and change the url from local host to the URL. It works now.
