Message: [QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 7231703"] Hi, I have tried this before when the products were in beta but I still have problems when trying recently with retail Visual Studio 2005. In short, how to debug compact framework v2.0 using an Windows CE 5.0 emulation image, installed using an SDK built by Platform Builder? Installed: Visual Studio 2005 Microsoft Device Emulator v5.0 Custom SDK built by PB with CF v2.0 in the image, embedded C++ support disabled Installation of the SDK seems break VS 2005 with the following errors: Opening a previous compact framework project: "Platfrom 'XXX' has no devices" "The project could not be opened because it refers to a device that is not in your datastore" Go Tools > Device Emulation Manager... "Platfrom 'XXX' has no devices" "Package Load Failure. Package 'Smart Device Configuration Package' has failed to load properly......" There are instructions for connecting to a WinCE device without ActiveSync, but, this applies to a device not an emulator. I'm not sure that the emulator would accept the incoming TCP/IP connection to use this method but I will try later. So, has anyone managed to debug an emulator image of a Win CE 5.0 build with CF 2.0, no ActiveSync? Is it possible to build an ARM image of a custom Win CE device using Platform Builder and install that emulator into the datastore? TIA, - John [/QUOTE]
