Hello,

Does the code posted on GotDotNet:

http://samples.gotdotnet.com/quickstart/util/srcview.aspx?path=/quickstart/CompactFramework/samples/deviceid/deviceid.src

for retrieving the device id works also for 2003 pocket pc's?
Because i dont have a device to test it, i am testing my application on the
emulator.

Thank you.

Well i tried to run it on the emulator, it gave an error, is there something
wrong in the code? or this code doesnt work on emulators?

Thank you.

The emulators don't expose a unique id. The same method should work on all
Pocket PC 2002 and later devices. In Windows Mobile 5.0 a new API has been
introduced - GetDeviceUniqueID to make this process slightly easier, it
creates a unique id hashed with an application identifier you supply.
