Re: How to make application work on Symbol MC3000?

I also just tried Pocket PC 2003 SDK, but it is used with
eVC, too.
I really don't no what to do anymore. I have application that
should without a problems, but it just won't.

I believe that the simpliest application ("Hello World"), should work
if I only
deploy Compact Framework 1.0 and the application it self.
But I get ""SmartDeviceApplication1" is not a valid Windows CE
application" error.
Do you maybe know what could be the reason?

For simple applications you don't need any Symbol SDK at all. The DCP is
only needed to create HEX files for download using the IPL mode of the PDA
for deployment.

Just create a small "Hello World" program (Smart Device Application for .Net
1.0), download it to the device (either by using the debugger or by copying
it to the file system on the device with ActiveSync) and start it - it
should work.

Thanks guys for all your answers.
But my problem remains. All the things that you mantioned I already
did.
I am using Symbol Mobility Developers Kit v1.3 for .NET and it's
working fine.
It is used to work with the barcode reader, and it adds up barcode
reader in the Toolbox
in VS and also bunch of dll files on the device.
Symbol does have a Symbol SDK, but it only works in combination with
embedded
Visual C++ 4.0, and I would definetily like to avoid switching to
another language. But
that SDK won't install wirhout eVC.
Here is what the Symbol tech support wrote to me:
"Hello Zarko,

Please see the install requirements for the Symbol Mobility
Developer
Kit v1.3 for .NET -

Also make sure you have installed DCP V1.1 for the MC3000 from the
devzone -

So I did that and again nothing. The DCP v1.1 is used for file transfer
between the PC
and the device.
Only interesting thing that I saw was when I visited the second link
that they gave me.
There is a following sentence:
"A DCP can NOT be used to create applications. To create applications
for the MC 3000, download and install theSMDK for eVC4 and the
Microsoft Pocket PC 2003 SDK."
And the part that I find interesting is about Pocket PC 2003 SDK.
Could that be the solution for my problem?
I will give it a shot. And if anyone thinks of something I could try do
tell.
I 'm sure that it has to work with VS.

Best regards,
Zarko Stanisavljevic

CE4.2 => VS2003

This is the supported way, but CE4.2 with VS2005 might also work, as it
does
with me.

However, the MC3000 series can be to upgraded to WinCE5.0 - contact your
Symbol dealer.

"not a valid Windows CE application" - did you set up a Smart Device
Application (not possible with VS2005 Express)?

Has anyone had any experience in programming for Symbol MC3000 which
has Windows CE
4.2 in VS .NET or 2005?
I tried everything I could find on the net, but had no luck in making
the simpliest application work. Best I could get is the "not a valid
Windows CE application" error.
It seems to me that this device needs more than a standard PDAs.
Because I installed
Compact Framework 1.0 and nothing changes.
I would apreciate if someone would tell me everything I need to do to
make application
written in C# work on a Symbol MC3000.

Best regards,
Zarko Stanisavljevic
