Microsoft Device Emulator 1.0 Community Preview Usage

The Microsoft Device Emulator was developed only for the use with Visual Studio?

If I try to use it with other tools like Visual Web Developer or Editors I have to start it with the command line. But if I want to open mobile web pages ("C:\Programme\Microsoft\Device Emulator Preview\DeviceEmulator.exe" /s ppc.dess /c "http://wap.aldi.de") I get errors like

Error: Cannot open file 'http://wap.aldi.de'

Secondly: Can I see the source code which the server sends to the browser and the request and response headers?

Thank you.

The Microsoft Device Emulator can also used as a standalone application. It supports most of the things you would do with a device connected over ActiveSync.

You will not be able to open a web page from the command line. The /c parameter is used to display the debug output of the emulated OS.

The way to do it would be to open the emulator using
"C:\Programme\Microsoft\Device Emulator Preview\DeviceEmulator.exe" /s ppc.dess" if the ppc.dess save state exists and open Pocket Internet Explorer to browse the web page. The easiest way to get the Emulator to connect to a web page would be to get the emulator connected over ActiveSync using the Device Emulator Manager.
