May I know whether we can use vs.net 2003 with c# to develop Wince5.0
applications? If so, may I know whether can I download the emulator?

Thx a lot!!
 
As Daniel points out, the emulator story is not a good test platform, better
in VS2003. But even in 2003 you are still testing on a "non-real world
processor". With 2005 the emulators are painfully slow. I find real devices
a much better testing experience.

Cheers
Simon.

Actually, Daniel pointed out that "The CE 5 emulator story for visual studio
is not great yet". I draw your attention to *CE 5*. The other emulators work
fine. I also draw your attention to *yet*. This will change.

Bottom line, it is always best to use a real target but for non-CE 5.0
projects, the existing emulators can do a good job.

I don't find the CE 5.0 emulators any worst than WM 2003 under VS 2005.

They are all painfully slow and don't represent a true test bed.

The real question is where do you find the "CE 5.0 emulators"? It sounds
like one of us is missing the point.

Thx for Simon and Daniel's answers.

I ask this question because I am developing WCE4.2 application using Symbol
MC3000. Now we need to upgrade the OS to WCE5.0, but the old program
executable cannot run in WCE5.0 environment. And I have searched from web
that VS2003 can be used to develop WCE5.0, but I am not sure whether there
will be a one called netcf.all.wce5.armv4.cab, cuz I need to install
netcf.all.wce4.armv4.cab previously. Do you have any idea or suggestions on
this?

May I also know about what is the enhancement between cf v1 and cf v2?

Thx a lot!!
 
Why wouldn't the old executable run? It's not a foregone conclusion that it
won't.

Search the archives for links to what's changed. That's no an appropriate
topic for a single newsgroup post. GoogleGroups will allow you to search
the old messages.
