I am unable to deploy any .Net Compact Framework application intoPocket PC 2003. The connection operation always fails givingmessage "Cannot establish a connection, Be sure that the deviceis physically connected", whereas the ActiveSync showsconnected. I am able to connect the devoce through eVC 4.0. I'dalready tried with hard and soft reset of PDA, reinstallingActiveSync, reinstalling Visual Studio .Net 2003 , but nothingseems to be working.
I've also tried from FAQs, still everything is stand still.

Currently I'm using :

Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 ,
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 version 1.1.4322
Microsoft PocketPC SDK 2003
Microsoft ActiveSync 3.7.1

Have you installed the Windows CE utilities for VS.NET and set the right
processor type, etc.?

I'm having exactly the same problem. The only change to my system that has
occured in the 2 months that I haven't been coding for a mobile application
is the installation of Service pack 2 for Windows XP... could this be part of
the problem? if so, is there a fix?
I've tried all the different processor types listed in the utilites (I
believe I have one of the Arm types, but HP doesn't explicitly say so, all
they say is that my HP 2215's have "XScale microprocessors" and they seem to
be made under a license from ARM.
I've reinstalled visual studio, done multiple rebootings etc. A simple
application works fine on the emulator, but can't deploy onto the hand held.
Any other ideas for how to fix this?

Almost forgot, make sure that toolhelp.dll was copied from
"Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\CompactFrameworkSDK\WinCE
Utilities\ToolHelp\WinCE4\" to device \windows\ directory.

Sergey... thanks for the link to the utilites. I didn't think it possible,
but after having tried all the other fixes described in the related readme, I
ran the utility to see if I had more than the 50 network protocols. I had
53, and pruned them back to below 50 per the instructions. the code ran.
all is good for now.
