compact framework newbie.

[Shane Story]

I created a simple app in .NET 2003 for the compact framework. Of course it
made all sorts of CAB files for various systems. My friend has a HP Jornada
430 device and I tried several of these and it wouldn't work.

Do I have to have CE.NET running on it? Do I have to install the compact
framework? (seems I would).
I tried that and it said no version of the framework was compatible with the
device. Does this mean it is not supported?

Thanks,

Shane

CF V1 supports Pocket PC 2000 and above, SmartPhone 2003 and above, Windows
CE 4.1 and above.

CF V2 supports Pocket PC 2003 and above, SmartPhone 2005 (Magneto) and
above, Windows CE 5.0 and above.



HP Jornada 430 runs CE 2 and thus is not supported. You can use emulator
which is included with VS.

For better developing experience consider purchasing PPC 2003 SE device.



Best regards,



Ilya

"Wouldn't work" isn't quite enough information. What OS version does the
failing system run? Pocket PC 2003 devices have the .NET CF in ROM, but
earlier devices do not? It has to be installed on those devices.

Well, since Microsoft replied with "HP Jornada 430 runs CE 2 and thus is
not supported. You can use emulator which is included with VS" in the above
post, I guess it isn't doable on this old equipment.

Thanks,
