Re: Cant Build an Image with .NET 2.0 or 3.5

Test programs in the VS2005/2008? What does that mean? You test program ON
THE TARGET DEVICE. Nothing else makes any sense. If you're saying that
you're targeting some SPECIFIC emulator (tell us what that is! We can't
read your mind!), and it doesn't have the .NET Compact Framework in it, yes,
that's true. You may be able to have Visual Studio deploy the .NET CF to
the emulator for you when you deploy your application there for debugging.

If you are building your own Windows CE-based device, that is you have
Platform Builder and are using it, you can, of course, configure your
operating system to have the .NET Compact Framework in it. Various versions
of .NET CF are added to various versions of Platform Builder with QFEs, as
Bruce said. Once you have installed the correct QFEs, you have to add the
framework to your OS image and clean sysgen the operating system again. If
you build an emulator for your device, when you build the emulator image,
after making this configuration change, the emulator, too, will have .NET CF
in it. If you then regenerate the SDK for your device and include the
emulator, the SDK will contain the emulator for your device with the .NET CF
in it.

If you are just an application developer, you CANNOT somehow get some
emulator image for a random device, no. Windows CE is not a single,
monolithic operating system. Every device's version of Windows CE is built
specifically for that device. Only an emulator for the specific device
which you are targeting actually represents what the real target hardware
has on it. If the real target hardware does NOT have .NET CF in it, then of
course you can't somehow magically get an emulator image for that device
that DOES.

My goal is to be able to test Windows CE programs in the VS 2005/2008. It
is
all the same which image I for it uses. Can I download such a finished
image?

You can't use desktop .NET Framework on Windows CE *EVER*. The .NET
Compact
Framework comes with Platform Builder updates, in the form of a QFE, as
Bruce mentioned. You can also install the .NET CF 2.0 or 3.5 from a
package
that you can download from www.microsoft.com/downloads.

Hello, I needs a Windows CE image for my Visual studio 2005/2008. In
addition
I must merge the .NET Framework with the Platform Builder. This does
not
succeed to me however. It always come the same error message:

Error: Could not find file
'C:\Programme\WINCE500\PBWorkspaces\Test123\RelDir\Emulator_x86_Debug\mscoree.dll'
on disk

Can anyone help me, please?
