URGENT:VS.Net Doesn't deploy to Device

[Mustafa Rabie]

Hi,
I am having a problem with VS.Net 2003 and deploying to an actual 2003
Device. But everytime i try to deploy i get an error the it can't deploy
and it doesn't give informative message.

The device is connected via activesync and when i click on connect to device
and choose "PocketPC Device" it connects

What might the problem be?

thanks
mustafa

Check and make sure the program isn't running in memory in teh background
(Select Start -> Settings Then check the System Tab. From there, click on
the Memory icon the select the Running Programs tab and see if it's there.
if it's running, VS can't copy over the exe so it will fail. Let me know if
that doesn't fix it.

Check these steps:

Download this utility and install -

1. Import ProxyPorts.reg. to the registry.

Note ProxyPorts.reg is located by default in Program Files\Microsoft
Visual Studio .NET 2003\CompactFrameworkSDK\WinCE Utilities\WinCE
Proxy Ports Reg.

2. On the computer that is running Visual Studio .NET, run the
DelDesktopCryptKey.exe utility from the command prompt to clean the
security
key container for the current user. DelDesktopCryptKey.exe is
installed with
the Windows CE Utilities for Visual Studio .NET 2003 Add-on Pack. By
default, DelDesktopCryptKey.exe is located in the Program
Files\Microsoft
Visual Studio .NET 2003\CompactFrameworkSDK\WinCE
Utilities\DelDesktopCryptKey folder

3. Remove the device from the cradle and replace it. If deployment
still does not work, soft-reboot the device.
