Can not deploy to iPaq h2215 with VS .NET 2003

[Chang Liu]

My Development Envirnoment:

1. newly configured window 2003 server
2. VS.NET 2003 architect installed
3. pocket PC 2003 SDK installed
4. SQL Server for CE 2.0 installed
5. ActiveSync 3.7 installed

My Pocket PC:

1. brand new HP iPaq h2215 with pocket pc 2003 OS
2. ActiveSync 3.7

Connection:
ActiveSync USB connect h2215 to my developing PC without any problems,
I can install pocket street, games to pocket pc and browser WWW from
pocket pc.

Problem:

I have encountered a deployment problem when trying to deploy a simple
C# project developed with VS.NET 2003 to my new iPaq h2215 (with
pocket pc 2003).

I am keep getting a error message:

Deploying to Pocket PC Device using TCP Connect Transport

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


Confusion:

1. My ActiveSync is working fine, the light is green and status is
connected, I can view my pcoket pc folder from development PC, connect
to Interent...

2. However, VS.NET 2003 IDE can not establish TCP connection to pocket
pc at all!

3. This is my first time to deploy VS. NET 2003 project to pocket pc
2003, before, I have done this with VS. NET 2003 to pocket pc 2002
with ActiveSync 3.5 without causing me any problems!

Need:

HELP!!!


Thanks

I am having the exact same problem. I could deploy just fine with my hp
3950 and active sync 3.6, but when I got the hp 2210, its a no go.

Anxiously awaiting help as well,

Hi Mike,

I think I have figured out my problem:

I have installed VS.NET 2003 before installed ActiveSync 3.7 (Check
Pocket PC 2003 SDK readme.html!).

So, I removed pocket pc 2003 SDK, then run repair install with VS.NET
2003, reinstalled pocket pc 2003 SDK at last. Now, the connection
error no more occurs!

Hope my story may help.

After 1.5 hours of reinstalling, it finally works. Thanks for the advice.
