Convert vb from VS2003 to VS2005: Framework 1.0 missing???!!

[Hauer Wolfgang]

Hi!

I have installed on my pc VS2003 and VS2005. I try to upgrade an app from
2003 to 2005. The upgrade wizards stops converting the project because with
error: Framwork 1.0 missing.
The app compiles fine in 2003 and runs well on a PPC.

Whats wrong here?

Thanks for help

It could be that the Framework v1 is missing. Have you got VS.NET 2003
installed?

Also check out this for upgrading:

It seems you didn't read his post carefully enough, as he stated that he
installed VS2003 and VS2005 on the sampe PC.

My question: can VS2005 develop apps for CF 1.0 as well or only for CF 2.0?

You are correct.

The answer to your question is that VS2005 can do both as long as you are
not planning on targeting PPC02 or WinCE 4.x

Hi!

I have only 1.1 installed. Could that make the diff ? Will try to find 1.0.
and will test.

Huh? But I can install CF 1.0 perfectly on a PDA with WinCE 3.0.
What's wrong with that? Some app. created by VS2003 for CF 1.0 works
well there. Has this changed with VS2005? If yes, why?

Huh? I fear you confuse .NET and .NET CF. .NET is for the PC and .NET CF
is for PDA etc.
..NET is available in 1.0, 1.1 and now 2.0.
..MET CF is only available in 1.0 and 2.0

What you can install and what is supported can be two different things. What
is supported on a device and what you can debug with a certain IDE can also
be different.

You asked about CF 1.0 support with VS2005. The answer I gave you stands.

Since you mentioned CF 1.0 and WinCE 3.0, you should know that it is not a
supported scenario of the compact framework runtime or the IDEs (unless you
meant PPC prior to 2003, which as I already told you, is not supported with
VS2005 while it was with VS.NET 2003).

I am afraid that i was not confused. My installation is confused.

In the meantime i have installen Net Framework 1.0 and the Sp.
Now the wizard tells me, that COMPACT FRAMEWORK 1.0 is required, wich is
definitly installed.

Some ideas ( but not wipe the harddisk PLEASE!!)

So on the same PC you have VS.NET 2003 Pro or above? And you also have
VS2005 RTM (not a Beta/CTP)? And the smart device project compiles fine with
VS.NET 2003 but fails to upgrade with VS2005?

I have never come across such a scenario or heard of anyone that had. Can
you try the steps I mention in the link I sent previously and see if the
project compiles then? Basically add the code files to a brand new smart
device project...

Actually I saw this on Friday with a C# app as well. I converted a C# app
from 03 and it made it target CF 2.0, which isn't what I wanted. I altered
the project file with notepad to target CF 1.0 (which I've successfully done
in the past). I then tired to add that project to a 2005 Solution and I got
the same error "Compact Framework 1.0 is required" and it fails to load the
project. CF 1.0 *is* most certainly there. It's there usnder the Studio 03
folders and it's there under the Studio 05 folders. I agree that there's a
bug with Studio or the migration wizard (why can't we keep a converted
project targeting 1.0 anyway?).

Hi all!

Strange Thing!

I setup on a brand new PC XP + SP2
PC Net Framework 1.1
VS2005 RTM
No additional SP's

Now the app is converted.

I move the converted app to my develop pc and voila i can open it

Happy sunday
