Questions about programming, etc., are far more likely to get useful
answers in a newsgroup about programming. Most of your questions would
be better asked in microsoft.public.pocketpc.developer. More below (in
line).

If you really are developing the app specifically for that device,
then you should use the SDK from the company that makes the device.

RAPI. Specifically CeCreateProcess

I don't work with .NET, but I'm pretty sure it, and thus CF is
supported for all versions of Windows CE > 4.2. Whether you can find a
CF runtime that will work on your device is another question. The
Windows CE operating system is _very_ modular, so each OEM can pick
and choose, unless they claim to support a Microsoft-defined platform
(like the Pocket PC and Smartphone platforms). The device you are
targeting is clearly not conforming to any Microsoft-defined platform,
so the OEM is free to support or not support CF.
To determine the OS version on your device, try
Start->Settings->System->About (or similar - the menu structure may be
different).

The eVC IDE is _very_ fussy about mismatched platforms. You're not
using the SDK that matches the platform, so the eVC IDE won't connect.
