Re: VS2005 Beta 2 w/ CE 5.0?



You can run them directly on the desktop with debugging.
Actually, if you are referring to "Deploy to My Computer", it was cut. There is a workaround for turning it on (unsupported) with November CTP, haven't tried it yet with Beta 2:

I played around with Beta 1.
There were significant connectivity problems when trying to connect to
custom CE 5 device. The feedback was that they were woking on this for RTM 1
, not Beta 2.


VS.NET 2005 has a neat feature for debugging smart device apps:
You can run them directly on the desktop with debugging.
This is for apps that don't use CF specific features, given that the rest of
CF is a subset of the full framework.

Be careful with terminology there. It's not "The CE 5.0 SDK", implying that
it applies to any and all 5.0-based devices (which is completely false).
It's the Windows CE 5.0 Standard Software Development Kit. I admit that the
distinction isn't obvious, but the Standard SDK is a set of APIs and
capabilities that device manufacturers can *choose* to support *or not*.
There's no requirement there and, despite looking just like a device that
does support the Standard SDK, another device might not. Certainly, a
device with no display doesn't support it.
