Sorry, one more ?... It keeps saying that it was unable to complete deployment because the Zune software wasn't connected to the device, start Zune software and wait for connection then try again... any idea what that means, do I have to open Zune and then open book reader RIG?

Yes, when you deploy anything with RIG, the zune software has to be open
So I deployed Book Reader just fine but whenever I try to open it up all it does is restart my Zune. Any words of wisdom as to what I'm doing wrong?
Edit: Never mind I found out what was going wrong. I missed setting the copy to output one one of the books and it brought everything down. Awesome program Netrix!

Cannot autodetect which importer to use for "Books\Seths Message.txt". There are no importers which handle this file type. Specify the importer that handles this file type in your project.

that came up for me
There are instructions for a reason...
Quote:
...click on the text file you just dropped into the folder, you should see a properties window, on the right bottom side of Visual Studio.
Set the build action to none, and set the Copy to Output to Copy if Newer otherwise you will get errors when trying to deploy.

Just use RIG. You can point it at your books folder and it'll automatically put everything on, without having to bother with setting up Visual Studio.
I, too, am having the same problem where my Zune just restarts every time I try to start the bookreader program. It deployed for installment fine, and I only have one .txt file in there, although other than putting it in the books folder and saving it through the Visual C#, I don't see how it magically appears on my Zune without any confirmation. Perhaps I should remove the whole thing and start from square one. I must sound like a damned idiot. I went into this sort of haphazardly and now I feel I must have missed something, even though I read the directions twice over...
I have a 30gb and the 2.4 version of bookreader. The Zune software is up to date at 2.5. Any help would be great.

Go to the Book Reader on your Zune, and delete it. Then, download the RIG version. Create a new folder on your desktop and put the text file(s) that you want to read with the Book Reader into the folder that you create. Make sure that your Zune is connected to your computer and that the Zune software is open. Run the RIG version. Click next, select your Zune from the list, then click next again. As the instructions will say in the RIG application, click the Browse button and select the folder that you created with the text file(s) in it. (Right under the text box, it will show the number of files in the folder that you selected, and the total size of the files.) Then click next, and next again. It will deploy the Book Reader and after it is finished, it will start the Book Reader on the Zune (if you kept the check box checked).
If the Book Reader does not fully start, there could be a problem. The Book Reader only restarts when either there are no files for the Book Reader to read or the runtime files are not where they should be. Since you would have chosen a folder which would have contained the file(s) to add to the Book Reader, the Book Reader would have at least one file to read. If the Book Reader did start successfully, then that is all you need to do. If it did not, disconnect your Zune, go to the Book Reader on your Zune, and try to start it. If it still keeps restarting, you will probably do not have the runtime files that are needed to run the game. In this case, you should not be able to play any games at all. Let me know how it goes.

its still only detecting my bookmarks randomly, 8 out of 10 times it just goes to the begining of the txt and i have to scroll through, not much a problem before but at 80% it takes a min or 2... sigh,
still this is definately my most used app!

Sometime I will rewrite the bookmarking. As a suggestion for now, you could split your text files up so it would take much less time to get to where you want to be. Look in the first post for instructions on how to use sub-folders.

Am I able to debug when using the RIG Version? I'm asking this because I have one problem with a book.
I installed 2.4, it works fine with 2 books but with the third one it crashes and restart. I checked the file size and it should be no problem (txt file, 204 KB), it is an spanish book but it should be no problem because illegal characters are ignored..
When looking for the problem, I installed an old version of the reader (1.6) for the sake of debugging; when I tried to open this file in that version, I get an error on this line:
public void LoadBook(String FileName)
{
//Open and read the text file
TextReader file = new StreamReader(FileName);
textFile = file.ReadToEnd();
An error message is available for this exception but cannot be displayed because these messages are optional and are not currently installed on this device. Please install ‘NETCFv35.Messages.EN.wm.cab’ for Windows Mobile 5.0 and above or ‘NETCFv35.Messages.EN.cab’ for other platforms. Restart the application to see the message.
The file I'm using is one I got from a pdf file (save as...) . Please PM if you may need the exact file.
Thanks a lot for your help!!... and I'm looking forward for your next projects hehe
The filename is longer than 40 characters. Shorten the filename...
mmmm I did it (Creacion nueva civiliacion.txt) with no success, the same thing happens, the zune reboot when trying to open that specific file (the application launch normally though, and it opens other files).
I PM'ed you with a link to the text file I'm using to see if you can hep me.
The first bit of the part in the book im putting on it doesnt show...
Can you copy and paste that part into a private message or private message me a link to where I can get the text file that you are using?
mandelorapido, There happens to be very illegal characters in your text file. Usually, all normal illegal characters can be read from the file, and the problem occurs when trying to display the illegal characters. In your case however, the illegal characters cause the Zune to crash when they are being read from the text file itself. I can fix this, though.

Oh I see, thanks a lot!! Can you tell me an example of a very illegal character? hehe or can you tell me how to recognize them, to replace them properly??
Once again, thanks a lot for your constant help! And I'm sorry for showing up with a very illegal text file
