Hello,

I just downloaded Compact Framework 2.0 Beta and it was installed
automaticly via ActiveSync on my Device but how can I tell VS2003 to use CF
2.0 instead of version 1.0 when I develop an application?

Thanks for any hints.

Matthias
 
You can't. CF 2.0 development is supported only inder VS 2005. Did you
actually download the separate setup??
 
I'm using Visual Studio 2003 .NET Student Edition. Don't know if I can
upgrade to VS2005 Beta at no cost.

You can not. NETCF V2 development is only supported on VS 2005 or NDP SDK
(which is free).
You can, however, run existing CF V1 applications against CF V2. Please see
this for details:

You can also order DVD with VS 2005 Beta 2 which was recently released.
Please see this:

can i use only SQLServerCE 2005 library from CF 2 in CF 1
i need to use the feature of the ResultSet instead of DataSet in VS2003 ?
and i cannot use 2005 beta because it doesnt target CE4.2 , it only target
CE5
 
Sorry, you can not. SQL Mobile supports exactly the same platforms as CF V2.
Partially that's because SQL Mobile managed provider is compiled against CF
V2 and won't run on CF V1.
