debugging a wireless app while device is in cradle

[Bryan]

Hello,
I have run into a problem. I am writing my wireless pocket pc application in
visual studio and trying to debug it when the device is in the cradle with
activesync, it loads the applications fine and starts the debugging, the
problem is that the device wireless card turns off when plugged into the
cradle with activesync.

How can I make it so the wireless interface does not turn off when connected
to the cradle?

Thanks,
Bryan

There's a document on the Web that tells how to connect to a device via the
network for debugging. You'll need to use that, as AS breaks wireless
network connections when the device is connected and you can't turn that
off.

Thanks Paul that method worked until I had to cradle the device with active
sync, after doing this I now keep getting and error: "Failed to connect to
device".
Everything is setup exactly how I did it when it worked! I cannot figure it
out! It's almost as if Visual Studio thinks the device is supposed to
connect via active sync again.

Anyone know how to resolve???

Yes, when you cradle, your network connection is *gone* and, along with it,
any connection that any program, including ConmanClient2, has via wireless.
You can't debug through the process of connecting that way. After you
disconnect the cradle, go through the steps again and reestablish your
connection.
