[Guest]

Who can tell me, must I connect to the real device when install .Net CF?If i
don's have the real smartphone ,how can I do?Can I use the emulator for
smartphone?
I have download and install this software:
Connect Emulator with ActiveSync.msi
but it always shows me the error when I connect to the emulator:
Failed
Error In Sarting ActiveSync
What's wrong with it?
Waiting for your great help!

..NETCF is only available in ROM on supported Smartphone models (2003 and
onwards). All SP2003 devices have at least .NETCF SP1, while SP2003 Second
Edition devices have SP2. You cannot update the version of .NETCF from a ram
install.
To use Smartphone emulators in Visual Studio install the Smartphone 2003 SDK
and this will add the option of Smartphone projects and deploying to the
Smartphone Emulator or a real device. Visual Studio will connect directly to
the emulators it doesn't use ActiveSync for these.

I see now .Thank you very much.
But if i want download some application to the emulator,such as "Explorer
2003"(because the smartphone didn't have the file browser), I think the only
way is connecting the emulator with the ActiveSync, is it right?

If the application is built for a regular Smartphone it won't work on the
emulator since devices use ARM CPUs but the emulator is running on X86.
