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 device is telling you that you had an exception, but the exception "Message" is not available. There are a few things to know here:

  1. You should be catching exceptions and providing user-meaningful messsages, not the message in the exception itself. It usually means nothing to a user.
  2. You can install the exception messages by installing the indicated CAB file, which can be found here:
    %PROGRAM_FILES%\Microsoft.NET\SDK\CompactFramework\v3.5\WindowsCE\Diagnostics
  3. A restart isn't actually needed.
