Minute 0
Hundred Yugoslav President didn t incorporate in this city over and talk about how he automates your device emulator configuration or what you thought of testing and application courts involves the device emulator that we know that the device emulator allows us to very closely obscene emulator device apartments and I were the key things we pick to win his mobile sex is a device emulator which do much more than simple outpatient testing at us to do much better cellular testing a different data connections the cell phone capabilities all the sorts of things as they find that towards a really accurately has things now you offset this of some initial configuration on the emulator of a simple things they might be since the about phone numbers regulate the Internet shortcuts are living or involved in a VPN configuration WiFi configuration for any disorder thanks so what do I have to do is go

Minute 1
Setting emulators you need to do this or that we ll do not account us since the when I kiss you and if I are off to a really is back in own states or are you just cause many different emulators monitoring the exact integration between an environment in a are just very simple initialization emulator and limiting emulator and setting up to automate in a configuration is a webpages your should be URLs are actually in the download for this is the configuration service provider Nokia are responsible for configuring an actual device you re probably familiar with this rates basically an XML based architecture allows you to provide different settings information that is as was the configuration

Minute 2
Just has a series of the service providers they do lots of different things raise a user of providers offer something different revenues and Bluetooth configuration information with the browser favorites for certificates ups and all kinds that you keep your sentries network configurations basically most of the things you would go into a setting a screen set up are available through the figure service providers and they say they will now list all guilty figures to service providers and this is very useful to thought for what they ll do with reality is that what s most important is the understand how to actually use the right hat you can actually create an actual configuration for a I now understand his examples as as as a really key part of this is at first these are working configuration apartment you may find it is not hard to figure out a way layout he 20s configuration entries so the examples are really key is to

Minute 3
Is a very simple in the Senate will want to do is add on the emulator Muhammad s forfeit recruit in the course of your storehouse is a start explorer and from within here even got her favorites and try to figure and the disabled wedges over and over again it s a rather do it manually here who really wanted to just go out and find out with her configurations is just as you do for your exhibit a browser favorite configuration service provider example we go in there and we want to do is add a browser favorite slogan on their is now forcing this at the way his layout is all foster Elvis WAP provisioning doc entry they have a characteristic that identifies which service provider does not teach research via a simple type to use and that within the service provider in another characteristic that is something specific to the service provider

Minute 4
So in this case the race browser favorite source of our all you can do is create favorites so that characteristic is the name you want to give your shortcut or your favorite accident and forces the URL it goes without favorite and he will control the position where does the list of favorite uses weren t for our regular production optional iso list and a civilian or and would simply copy this is going to know that their son and so I do as I please my own favorites as as saying video store call this live search and you ll get pointed out to the and Windows live search of mobile search site so got to move to a line com search just a so so and nearly that raids you re sizzled with

Minute 5
A government print so we got that configure and began to save a thousand XL file its failures to my here for your post was well this adds live sure you didn t know once I got in that country to the file to actually apply this now one way that I can apply the configuration information to the emulator is applying at the same way I would go for device without configuring a device I would do as a cradle it in 11 years is usually called rapid conflict residency look from our bureau quick to God for her files and I got to win his will six is today and it pulls their editor and Pocket PC this Iraqi security of his utility wrapped the config

Minute 6
Allows you to go the command line and specify what is XML files and it will apply that to the creation of mission to an actual device or degree of emulator do the same thing to do with what this becomes automated as possible so it would reset or emulator something we ll have to remember to allow the command line to again so we can build his exit from Visual Studio SQL Visual Studio if I go to the school s options and under device tools I choose displaces entry is here is a list of all the different emulators out here so is where I work via windlass of professional emulator so we can do is out select the emulator choose the properties for it you notice that there s a single the bootstrap or adverse wrapper at his name sounds as much responsible for actually kind of starting up the emulator getting to connection established in emulator with things at the start of provided cable doing

Minute 7
Is actually applying a configuration file so we can and should do here to say configure down her blouse out of the provision file with your fishy drive Jr and going to get us add lifestyle street advice or spirit it was okay no one does not say each time an entry is initially made to the emulator Russian if the connection is listening to the end where the provision file will be copied down to it apace and now we have a configuration file associate in emulator Visual Studio automatically applied a configuration file as we go to connect to the emulator chrysalis industry to a simple application in symptoms and project Orlando is to create a default when his mobile sixth project as well as simple fact see associate

Minute 8
And now I mention I didn t do anything with his applications this point on doing is that by generating an application person carrier project I can ask you now to give into this button s ability to lobby to connect to the emulator racer or that we associate our computers and file would lose most of professional emulator and she s often drop down and whistles of professional emulator no interest re signs insurgency boost rates in the digital smaller here bring another a university lawyer is displaying for us the list of favorites are currently hats or whomever that we ve asked the ad that live search for your smelly click is connected device is for the connection process Blacks imply that integration file to see them momentarily boom our live search option from the obvious result of the configuration file is the only uses a disfavored forest

Minute 9
But you know something of the favorite year and is integrated live search is grayed out for you to resist gray eyes that basically there s no way to connect from it are so even now we re showing having as a connection appear as that will actually use the cellular emulator to provide a connection but he really has a connection we ll actually have any kind you care as connection to find that it for years so as a result I could a lot search is that you got here and tell me that Unitas of the Celtics and this is a classic scenario is that when you try to set up anytime and varmint beside the initial do you want us up in this case our favorite doors of the other things you have to set up in this is a connection as as why again it s so useful to automate this right and into the final list of wants is to apply but so we re at it and manually create a connection we had to do no virus settings believe in the doing is saying at an

Minute 10
Modem connection we said we wanted to be a cheap year as connection are given names of my connections now next now comes a real connection root in this connection I provide an access point rails that are far up as a username and password which because were using the cellular emulator we ll actually have to do that saw and religious requires we have a teacher as connection to find you leave all the fields blank right but is it well unveiled as we want really have a way so that is that it is manually as part of wants my application prelates that you create that favorite create this connection for pesos a couple things are announced at the start from scratch again so I do is went ahead and exiting earlier here I m not honestly the state so it wasn t for start as they say that since he seized it was a no thing now to some own limited and clear out the configuration file for such the

Minute 11
And find what they does ever that we went through tools and options to set the information before news of the threat of a project witness to this but here it weighs options which takes his way to that same location so this professional emulator of the properties are bootstrapped figure when it is delete the slapped wanted to do anything with force or stimulator with those who haven t ever starts at a rate so with that too and here I was going start of the emulator source ago for simplicity goodbyes and litter manager to bring up a professional and a infect computers of their freshman litter is the sure screens at this debate here because we didn t refresh that some of the good connect to value its dog and will be little is before right so that we could look at Internet Explorer and we do know their favorites will see what ought to have our

Minute 12
Live in a sure show I search that read online search to see away your settings revealed her connections news that we don t have that my connection devices or uterus connection is why do is to give you a file and was extended to do both of these jobs force isn t here sorted in Oslo out of the file throughout the four were actually set up that leaders in file is then copied us feast here is a scoreless one config config all sufficient list because going into the favorite anti protection force cases can bring up without Visual Studio you hear dragging on force and so no doubt that they re so rare that we got this characteristic

Minute 13
Disfigure the browser information rented another characteristic of the carriage address connection as we go over to your Internet Explorer is here that it is creating a teacher as connection example here and so just like the other example yet we have sausage creature as connection example cited in a year is instead and copy the software does is does is how great the entry just a copy that direct Visual Studio company said in a status that now this characteristic applies to the teacher as entries to a provider or so the car seat site for the first leaders which won t call it so what should you care us Internet connection and no memories of that was just setting up this entry because Rogers or emulator with word about a username passwords really don t you worry about access points using Rosenblatt the only say that we

Minute 14
After specifying this case is what s met a networked room attached to a Reuters through my spirit might be Internet really is my work network so you have provided to it for that now it is going to do is to find them in various places want as I find to send users to find them exactly on the header files reside up a little success today and you hear it again a Down s use a Pocket PC and include files and when it is not an icon manager h look your connection manager h reopen I got this is a four duos and here it was music there are these first to write as my ISP network or the Internet is my work network so it is says is that in order to associate deceivers actually do the Internet or work network you got to provide right to exist nationwide so that it was good and grounds do with the

Minute 15
Crater and carpet out to a 20 thing file is anointed here is make sure that you would as you for this news ID is the one for the Internet face that when it I started out that the full example that saw actually in the book are in manual actually as the dinners well or again we had the ability to the Internet or go out and do work network registries and is honored to a doctor said now is not blessing of the ability to suffer favorite entry to keep your a century that we know is that not only can we specify two different providers here it is a browser favorite average provider s future as centrist figures will barter with possible multiples of these individual want to so say that in addition to having the live search link us also forget me fair to put a dual search like as well a copy that it assemblies so now I ve got for lunch or a souvenir for

Minute 16
Google search in an upward to go to google com and consumers for spaces I ve saved the Ordonez that it is not taking care assuming his following raider X Mark XML hierarchies race he got the providers they are characteristic and then to entry for the provider writes of his two circuitry to fare its escapes in another pirated uterus entries is going to create that dodgy protection force with who wanted to get agreement were connections well for DiStefano wonders at this writes without us together so that means now as I should be able to Win32 stays out of your go out there now upon this and I still see that by emulator I add to favorites add to it and I ll also have the appropriate integrated four days ago here we ve got

Minute 17
Are emulator there is a regular in Visual Studio and into seeing if they got their tour options for Mindanao associates the config all transport if you are in a strict configuration file figure browse up to the noon because here looting a config law said okay again it s so now or also to test it resist and resize Visual Studio here solicited series in your Visual Studio there and guts and later here so all goes well now we get them try to connect witches see to favorite joke here and there to need the section allows to go out onto the Internet gives a connected device

Minute 18
Knows now if they have the two entries crave their force close on this throughout your Alastair connections in my settings connections at home as existing connections in this image occurs in a connection of the evidence and that there is easier to threaten our to want to export his blank only if you re black that s fine by the sticker we needed to keep anyone s ears that we have a connection and decision wisely set means now at 3005 dinners for us to want there to live search local gonads within sealer jurisdiction begins to happen at some year will see the watch official at

Minute 19
And as you see now is a symphony of the page to go snorkel force everyone to device or favorites convertibles are strange and unelectable forces will and don t just get opened up is just brought up to that is a lot telling of a sitting up there is one less than the one point out if you go back to the Internet as your browser here and giggled to desert examples for pop tackled at you notice that in addition to create a connection there s also things like deleting an entry in river that uses integration files or correct anything you can do through your settings screens or through the options of an application you can only create things which can also get rid of the Reagan on environment applications reading that in this case being dead and delete away address entrance and create secure application actually does things like winter testing at your install that

Minute 20
His election returns of install before he can try running at a used music here is a positive as well race with does not create things need also cleaner things you want to have around the thing they could see things to your Ulster at the one of course is the link to all the different examples in the own forces does explain the different service providers again the links for movies will be in the download for this video the latest you will some President Gimenez of Incorporated thinkers on
