A PocketPC 2003 project using Mobile 5 emulator

[Ole]

Hi,

I have a Pocket PC 2003 project which I want to test on a Windows Mobile 5.0
Emulator, but how do i do that and is it possible at all? The Mobile 5 SDK
is installed and the emulator works if I select a Mobile 5 project.

Thanks,
Ole

You can "Cradle" the the Windows Mobile 5.0 emulator image and set your
project to deploy to a Pocket PC 2003 Device.

Since this is a Compact Framework application, have you tried using the
"Change target platform..." menu option located within the Project menu of
visual Studio 2005 to switch to Windows Mobile 5.0

If you switch platform types you should be able to select the Windows Mobile
5.0 emulator directly from the normal drop down combo box, and get the full
debug support etc.

Once you're finished you could switch the target platform type back to
Pocket PC 2003 to revert back to having the WM2003 emulators available.

The main thing this menu option changes is the types of controls etc that
are visible in the toolbox (especially if switching between pocket pc and
smartphone platforms).

Hope this helps,
