pocket pc 2003 development.

[jonathandrott]

My programmer sent me the source files he used to create the
applications. everything was created using vb.net 2003. everytime i
try to open the .sln file in vb.net 2003 i get an error message stating
the .vbdproj is not installed. I've downloaded all the support files
for the particular device, and the support files for pocket pc 2003
second edition. Does anyone know what i'm missing?

more about the error:

the application for project 'FILE PATH\dailydeposit.vbdproj' is not
installed.

make sure the application for the project type (.vbdproj) is installed.

He forgot to send you that file. It's not from MS; it's part of *your*
code.

I have that file listed in my project.

 

[Paul G. Tobey [eMVP]]

Yes, it's in the project, but do you have the *file*. Listing in the
project is like a reference in an Excel spreadsheet; the fact that you can
reference cell A42 doesn't mean there's *data* in that cell.

oh, well it shows 12kb in size, and if i open it in note pad there's a
lot of data about the project if that helps.

i'm trying to download the .net 2.0 sdk framework. that's the only
thing i don't have yet.

 

[Paul G. Tobey [eMVP]]

OK, that's a step in the right direction. Just to verify, what version of
VS.NET 2003 are you running? You have VS.NET, right, not just plain VB.NET?
And you have VS.NET Pro or higher, right?

i have microsoft visual studio .net 2003. i think it is just the
standard version though.

i've download the 2.0 sdk, 1.1 sdk, and 1.0 sdk. i still can't open
the solution files.

2.0 will only download into studio 8 which is only an express version.

Can you create a new SmartDevice Application in any of those environments?
That would be the indicator of what it can do. No template for that, no
support.
