VS.NET 2005 with WindowsCE 4.20

[Catalin]

Hi all,
Is there any incompatibility between VS2005 and WindowsCE 4.20? Can I
develop application for this platform with this version of VS.NET?

Thanks in advance,
Catalin

You can develop an application, but that does not necessarily mean that all
of the features of Visual Studio will work with your device (debugging on
the device, for example). .NET Compact Framework 2.0***SP1*** applications
will run on CE.NET 4.2 devices, however. That is a supported scenario.

But debugging on the emulator of VS2005 it's possible?

 

[Paul G. Tobey [eMVP]]

It should be, but the actual answer will depend on the characteristics of
your device and which "emulator" you mean. Certainly you can debug against,
say, the Windows Mobile 5 for Pocket PC emulator. Whether that closely
matches the characteristics of your device, I can't say. If the device
exports an emulator for it, as opposed to a generic emulator for a device
type, I'd be surprised if you could get that to work with VS2005 for a CE4.2
device.
