I have migrated my compact framework application from CF1.0 to CF2.0
using the wizard in VS 2005. I have also upgraded the project using
"Upgrade Project" option in the Project menu.
After migration when I look into the project, I understand that the
project in the applications are migrated to ".NET Compact Framework 1.0
forms application for Pocket PC 2003".
Is there any way to upgrade the project to .NET Compact Framework 2.0
forms application?

I observed all the project properties are same for the both the
projects(.NET Compact Framework 1.0 forms application and .NET Compact
Framework 2.0 forms application) in VS 2005.

Is there any difference between these two projects?(.NET Compact
Framework 1.0 forms application for Pocket PC 2003 and .NET Compact
Framework 2.0 forms application)

Please let me know

Thanks
Sri
 
If you have used the "Upgrade Project" option then your project is already
upgraded to use .NETCF v2.0 - if in doubt select the project in your
solution explorer and then look in the properties pane - you'll see a
heading "Device" and below that "Framework Version" - this will be v2.0 for
a .NETCF v2.0 project. You'll also find that the classes available to you in
a v2.0 project will be a lot richer - check out the Object Browser, you'll
see a lot of stuff not found in a v1.0 project.

Thanks for your clarification. Yes, in project properties it is
mentioned that the project is in framework v2.0. I need another
clarification, when I create a new device application project the
form's UI looks different(in the design view) than that of the
migrated project's form UI. When I checked the FormFactor property of
the new application, its value is WebPad. But the FormFactor property
of the migrated application, it displays a list of valiues like Pocket
PC 2003, Pocket PC 2003 VGA etc. Why these values are not available in
the newly created project? Please clarify.

Thanks

Did you create a PPC project or a WinCE 5.0? WinCE 5.0 will give you web pad
form factors...
