vs2005 beta2 on a virtual server machine

[Guest]

Hi,

i´m working around with vs2005 beta 2 and a xscale ppc. since i´m developing
on a virtual server machine (not virtual pc) my usb-cradle is not found, that
means no active sync connection! (i also tried wlan connection, but it did
not work either).

so, i figured out how to generate cab files which i copied onto my desktop
to push them on the device. too bad, there´s no cf 2.0 on it and my app just
won´t run.

so here´s my question:
is there a way to intall the cf 2.0 on the device besides
deploying/debugging via vs2005?

thanks in advance.

Yes, you can use either

a) RapiDeploy from
http://www.opennetcf.org/PermaLink.aspx?guid=eae15a33-340f-46d4-8bdf-463c801c430d
(requires .Net Framework installed on the Desktop)

or

b) cecopy and rapistart from the MS Windows Mobile Developer Powertoys

HTH,

Jörg, thanks for your answer. that should work!

anyways, i found out that there´s a simple way to install the cf. you just
have to do the vs2005 job by yourself. i searched the vs folder for the
netcf20 cab file and copied it via active sync on the device - ran it and
that´s it

Yes, but with the tools above you can automate the deployment process
(e.g. with a batchfile). Additionaly, you can add them to your 'external
tools' menu in VS2005.

In my current project I have to work with 5 different MDA III. While
testing, I often have to hardreset the devices. So with two mouseclicks,
I can copy the .net compact framework, the german language file and my
application to the device and automatically install it. Very convenient
