I understand it is possible to make applications that use the CF 1.0 under
Visual Studio 2005.

Is it possible to target Windows CE 4.2 with VS2005 using CF 1.0 ?

Yes, I do this on a daily basis. But iirc it depends on the processor of the
targeted CE 4.2 device.

Very interesting !

The device I'm targeting uses the X-scale PXA255 400Mhz 32 bits RISC
Processor.

When I deploy for this device I always use the WCE4.ARMV4T.CAB when using
VS2003.

Is this processor suported ?

Yes, this is exactly the same environment I develop for.

Windows CE 4.2 is not supported by VS 2005 for nether NETCF V1 or V2.

While you might be able to do that, it's not guaranteed and there will be no
automatic NETCF/SQL CE deployment.

Thanks Ilya,

I will stay with VS2003 until MS release their upcoming servicepack for
NETCF V2 with support for CE 4.2.

It is still hard to understand why MS don't support NETCF V1 with VS2005,
since there are hardly any CE 5.0 devices on the market.

They *do* support V1 with 2005, but only for WM5 devices. There are several
pieces: the VS.NET communications and device information, the framework
itself, and the remote debugger (well, I'm not a VS.NET expert, so there are
probably others, too). In any case, though, the addition of the framework
doesn't do anything about communcations; that's a separate team.

Actually, NETCF V1 is supported in VS 2005 for following devices:



- Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC

- Windows Mobile 5.0 SmartPhone

- Windows Mobile 2003 SmartPhone

- Windows Mobile 2003 Pocket PC (including Phone Edition).



Support for following is unavailable compared to VS 2003:



- Pocket PC 2000

- Pocket PC 2002

- Generic CE 4.x
