Debugging CE Device through VS 2005

Hi everyone,

for about several years i'm using the embedded visual tools to debug my
applications on a CE device. These devices are also built by myself through
Platform Builder. For debugging i have added the cemgrc.exe and it's needed
dlls to my image and in eVC i selected the manual server to connect to my
device. This works fine for eVC 3 and 4 and also with the right SDK for CE
5.0.

Now i'm going to start with Visual Studio 2005. I installed the Mobile 5.0
SDK and an SDK built by myself for my CE device. This SDK (my own built one)
works as already described above without any problems within eVC 4. Withing
VS2005 i also get the possibility to select this SDK and i'm able to compile
the code. Now i'd like to remote debug my application on the device through
VS 2005. So i just click on Tools - Connect to device. At the new dialog i
select my platform and device and click on 'Connect'. A new window appears
where it tries to connect to my device and after a few seconds it shows the
the connection was failed. The problem is that it doesn't show me the string
which is needed to start the manual server, so it's clear why it's failing.
I think it might try to establish the connection through ActiveSync, but
that's not implement on my device and also won't be.

So how can i tell VS 2005 to use the manual server to connect to my device?

I can't find any Button 'Configure Platform Manager' where i can select how
the connection will be established. I can only find a button where i can
configure the emulator devices, but nothing for the 'real' devices.

So any help would be appreciated.

Best regards,
Oliver Münchow
