The remote connection to the device has been lost.

[Guest]

I receive this message trying to debug a pocket pc program using the pocket
pc emulater and visual studio.net:

"The remote connection to the device has been lost. Please verify the
device connection and restart debugging."

Why is this happening?

What does the program do? It might be taking down the network connection to
the PPC in some way...

This is an existing wireless warehouse application. It has been in use for
over a year. The lost connection problem only occurs on my new laptop, not
on my existing desktop. Again, the lost connection is between the Visual
Studio IDE (running in debug mode) and the Pocket PC emulator that ships with
Visual Studio. Since it only occurs on my laptop (and that of another team
member) I don't think it is an application problem, maybe a VS configuration
problem?

I receive this message as well - every now and then. I can't put my finger
on what causes it. Someties restarting the emulator doesn't even work. I
need to restart my machine at times.

Active network connection? Running as administrator? That's all I can
think of...

I've encountered this message when the number of global variables in some
code I was working on crept above a certain level. Writing more efficient
code got me below that level, and the problem didn't reappear. This and a
buck fifty will get you a cup of coffee at startbucks.
