I have a project with a lot of Forms for PPC.

When i connect to a WinCE.Net devices it does not reconnize the installed
compact framework and copies a lot of DLL.

Is there a way to convert to a generic Wince project?

I create a new wince project ana added all forma, but it loose a lot of
custom controls.

Thanks
 
Converting PPC projects to WinCE is a manual process of creating separate
projects and sharing the code files...

The only problem when connecting to a WinCE device from a PPC project is the
fact that the WinCE device does not appear in the deployment
options/combobox (which is why I always create WinCE projects where all
deployment options are available). It sounds like you have bypassed that and
encountering other problem with "copies a lot of DLL"; can you elaborate on
that? The CF is either installed on a device or it isn't and that is
irrelevant to whether the target is a PPC or other device. How do you know
that it is copying a lot of dlls? (if you are just going by the deploy
window in VS listing the dlls you can ignore those messages)

Cheers

The device ( PSC 4220) has SP3 of CF in rom .

Everytime i deploy it copies all the DLL ( System.dll,
,mscorlib.dll,System.Data.dll,System.Windows.Forms.dll, ecc.) in the deploy
directory.

Thanks for any hints
 
I am not familiar with that device. I guess you have run cgacutil.exe from
its windows folder and verified that the CF is there and its version, right?

By "deploy directory" do you mean the same place where your own exe goes
(e.g. \Program Files\MyApp)? Try deploying/debugging to the 4.1 emulator
that ships with VS to see if it is a project-related issue or a
device-related issue. Also, does your app eventually run after deployment of
the dlls takes place?

The only other thing that comes to mind right now is that you may have
accidentally added the dlls as content to your project...

I can't do it, is PPC Project. In any case the application runs with yhe
dll's and even if i delete them.

If i try to deploy a WiNce Project it understend that CF is already there.

That's not the case.

Thanks anyway.
 
Have you tried creating a new PPC project and deploying it to your device?
if you do that and it doesn't copy the files in question then your issue is
with how your current project is set up.
