Hi,

i use vs2005. i have created a project for CD 5.0
When i generate an .exe that i can find it in Debug Directory, the windows
CE says 'it is not a window CE program'

How can i generate a .exe for CE 5.0 ?

Thanks
 
What do you mean with "created a project for CD 5.0"?

Did you install the correct SDK for your device? or against which SDK are
you building your project?
Did you create a "smart device" project?
What is the target device (Pocket PC, Smartphone, Windows CE device)?

My target Device is Windows CE 5.0

Do i need to deploy to get an executable ?
Is there a way to generate an exe in local hard disk, and deploy my self by
copuing the resilting file to the device ?

I Don't like this Deploy mode to get the resulted executable.

Thanks a lot
 
No compiler for Windows CE generates the EXE on the target device. It's
always built locally and deployed (which includes copying it to the device).
If you'd just try it, you'd already know that...

I have generated the file locally.
bin/debug/program.exe

i put This file on the device. th e device telle ms it's not an executable
for the CE.
But when i execute the file on my PC, it works.

How can i generate the file to be compatible windows ce 5.0 ?
My project is a Windows CE 5.0 project.

Thanks for the help

Then I'd guess that you *didn't* build it for CE. If you didn't create it
based on a Smart Device project template, that's quite easy to do. You
cannot just take a desktop-targeted EXE and run it on Windows CE. It's also
possible that you generated an EXE that's native code for the wrong
processor or that you generated a CE5 application, but your target device is
running an older version of Windows CE. If what you've actually told us is
*really* true, it would work, so something that you are assuming you've done
right isn't true.
