I added two new picture boxes containing JPG images to my project and
now the PocketPC 2003 emulator fails with a NotSupportedException on
System.Drawing.Bitmap. I think that these were the first picture boxes
that I added after converting from VS2005, if that is relevant. I do
have other picture boxes and the emulator worked fine with them. I
tried changing the JPEGs to BMPs and that did not help. I can deploy
the app to the device without problem.

Any idea what might be going on and how I might be able to use the
emulator again? This came at a most inopportune time, as I am now
ready to write the user manual and need the screen grabs. Sigh!

More information on the exception:

at System.Resources.ResourceReader.LoadObjectV2()
at System.Resources.ResourceReader.LoadObject()
at System.Resources.RuntimeResourceSet.GetObject()
at System.Resources.ResourceManager.GetObject()
at System.Resources.ResourceManager.GetObject()
at MainForm.InitializeComponent()
etc.

Well, I can't say what caused the problem, but I can tell you how I
solved it. I did a hard reset on the emulator. I had forgotten that
there even was a reset feature, but of course it makes sense. I
should have tried a soft reset first but I didn't so I don't know if
that would have solved the problem or not.
