Running a .NET 1.0 application on Windows.NET CE version 5.0 (CE5)

Is it possible to run an application developed in Visual Studio 7
(VS2005) with version 1.0 (SP3) of the .NET Compact Framework on a
device running CE 5?

We've just tried it by running the cab installation (got a warning
massage) and when you run the exe, it breifly shows an hourglass cusor,
then nothing.

Any ideas?
 
Jon,

It should work fine since CE 5 was released before VS 2005. What happens
when you debug the app - where is it hanging?

Thanks for your reply Ginny, but after hours of trying to get it to
work, and eventually posting here, 2mins later we got it working by
retoring the unti to it's factory default (Sod's law I guess!)

I /think/ although I'm not sure, the problem was a .NETCF version
conflict. The device came with .NET v1.0 SP3, but the distributor put
v2.0 on it, we then put v1.0 (SP3) on it, as part of our usual
installation, and I imagine it got in quite a muddle.

We couldn't/can't debug it, because VS2003 wont connect to the device...
but that's another story :o)
 
Jon,

I'm glad you got it working. You should be able to debug using VS 2005.
