User Manual
Developing a Windows CE Application
To develop applications for the Rhino™ 10, all you need is Visual Studio 2005 (or newer) Express or Professional and
a network connection. There are several books available on developing applications for Windows CE devices (books
on Windows Mobile are also useful). Please note that the Rhino™ 10 comes with .NET Compact Framework 3.5 pre-
installed.
Connect Visual Studio to the Rhino™ 10
On the Rhino
Get the IP address by double tapping on the rightmost network icon in the system tray. You should get a dialog box
with DM9CE1 in the title. If you are not connected with wired Ethernet or prefer to use the WiFi connection, double tap
on the left network icon and you should get a dialog with SDC-CF10G. Whichever you use, write down the IP address
for configuring Visual Studio.
In Visual Studio 2008
In the upper left corner, change the Target Device to Windows CE Device.

Target Device Connect To Device Device Options
Just to the left of the device type drop down list is “Device
Options”.
1. Click to open. Under Device Tools, select “Devices”.
On the right side, click Properties.
2. Make sure Transport: shows TCP Connect Trans-
port. Click the Configure button.
3. Select radio button “Use specific IP address:” and
type in the IP address of the Rhino.
4. Click OK. Click OK again. At this point you may want to change the name of this connection to something
like “Datalogic Rhino”. This will enable easy identification of the Rhino™ 10 setup in the future.
5. Click OK.
6. Now test the connection by clicking on “Connect to device”. The dialog will show the status and finally “Con-
nection Successful”.
You are now ready to develop and test your application. The first time you “run” Visual Studio will ask you to choose
where to deploy. Simply select “Datalogic Rhino” (or whatever you named the connection), uncheck the checkbox
“Show me this dialog every time I deploy the application”, and click “deploy”. Your application will be sent to the Rhi-
no™ 10 and run under the Visual Studio debugger.
Developing a Web-Based Application
You can develop web-based data collection applications for use on the Rhino™ 10 using Microsoft Internet Explorer
Embedded. Internet Explorer is available from the Start menu and provides all of the common elements you expect to
find in a browser.
