Re: port VS2005 project to WindowCE5.0



Thanks Paul, it works!

I have another question:

Can I port my previous Managed C++ project onto WindowsCE5.0 with this
VS2005 tools?

I tried to "New" a project under "Visual C++" -> "Smart Device", but I
cannot find "Window CE 5.0" under this catalog, while it exists under "Visaul
C#". Does this mean I cannot port my previous C++ code to CE and I have to
recode that project into C#?

Can you suggest some samples about "How to" port C++ project to CE?

Thank you very much!

1. You have to install the QFE that contains that. QFEs are linked from
www.microsoft.com/embedded. Choose Windows CE in the left-hand menu and
look for the Platform Builder 5.0 Updates item on the resulting page.
Install *all* QFEs, starting with the Yearly Update 2004 and earlier, then
Yearly Update 2005, then monthly updates from January through August. I
don't recall which has .NET CF 2.0 in it, but it's probably the 2005 one.

2. Yes, this is kind of screwed up. You can't use PB 5.0 to generate an SDK
for VS2005 that will show up. Since you're using the .NET CF, though, just
targeting plain old Windows CE 5.0 should be fine.

For getting connected to the real device, you want the page linked below:

We are doing a project to build PC based motion controller. We would like
use
WinCE5.0 as the OS and port existing VS2005 code onto it. I installed CE
evaluation and .NET compact framework2.0 on my machine.

I have a few questions regarding to VS2005 and Windows CE5.0

1.

I would like to build application with Visual Studio .net 2005 and
download
the application to CE platform. But in PlatformBuilder Catalog I cannot
find
Compact Framework 2.0. Do I miss something during installation?



I definitely installed Visual Studio 2005 and .NET compact Framework 2.0.
It
is listed in the "Add/Remove" application in Control Panel.



Do I need any further configuration in CE Platform Builder?



2.

I have 3rd party BSP (VIA CLE266/CN400/CN700 CEPC) installed on my
development PC, and when I build device application with C# WinCE 5.0
application for "Smart Device" in VS2005, the "Target Device" list doesn't
contain that 3rd party board.



Do I need any modifications in my VS2005 environment so that it can "see"
the real target board?



In addition, if I assign the target IP address in VS2005 and try to deploy
the application onto the target device, I run into "ActiveSync is not
installed" error, no matter if I included "ActiveSync" component into the
OSDesign or not. Does anybody have any suggestions regarding to this
situation?


Thanks!
