Hi,
This is the first time that I use Visual Studio .NET. And I stucked in
this first problem.

- I created a SDK from Platform builder 4.2 that includes .Net Compact
Framework.
- installed the SDK.
- created a Visual Basic project by using Visual Studio .NET. Its
deployment device is Windows CE.NET device.
- connected the Platform CE base device with the devolopment PC with
ActiveSyc. And it was successful.
- In Visual Studio .NET, click TOOLs -> Connect to Device, and I got this
error:

Error: Cannot establish a connection. Be sure the device is physically
connected to the development computer.

But the ActiveSync was running successfully. And I could download an
application that was built from Embedded VC++.

Another question, can I create a Visual C++ project and download it to
the device? The help only mentions VB and C#.

Thanks a lot for any information

Rosalind

Rosalind:

If you are synced, can you browse the PDA's folders? Also, what version of
ActiveSync are you running?

As far as C++ goes you can create a project with eVC++ with the C++ sdk and
load it onto the pda, but Smart Device Apps can only be written in VB.NET/C#
via Visual Studio.

William,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
I am using ActiveSync Version 3.5. In ActiveSync window, if I click
Explor icon on the top, I can say all the directories and files on the CE
device. Is this what you mean PDA's folders. If yes, then I can browse it.

I haven't gone to the C++ project yet. The visual basic project that I
built is Smart Device Apps. I still could not download it to the device. But
I could download it to the Windows CE .NET Emulator and debug and run it.

When I deployed the project to the CE .NET emulator, I could see a
directory called .NET Compact Framework under Program Files. But I could not
see this directory when I started my actual CE device. Is this a problem?

Thank you very much
Rosalind
