Re: Unsupported Functions and Objects w/ new SDKs from Visual Stud

Hi,

Sorry, when I first read your posting, I didn't realize that you wanted to
use VS2005 to continue to support existing applications for older platforms.

I got a PPC2003 application that was written on VC++4.0 and opened it in
Visual Studio 2005, and it wasn't as easy as simply compiling it. It appeared
that VS2005 did recognize the app as PPC2003, but it seemed to continue using
the WM 5.0 include files and libraries. I was in the process of changing the
solution properties to use paths to the right SDK, but ran out of time.

I would suggest to you that you change the Directories selections for
include files and libraries and see if that helps. I was starting to have
some success with that but couldn't finish. In my opinion, you're correct
that if it compiles with the SDK on an earlier development environment, it
should compile in the newer one using the same SDK.

I'm afraid that I will be out of the office for the next week, so I won't be
able to get back to this until after the 28th. Regarding a list of what's
changed between SDKs, I will ask around then and see what's available.
