vs2005 beta2 on a virtual server machine

Hi,

i´m working around with vs2005 beta 2 and a xscale ppc. since i´m developing
on a virtual server machine (not virtual pc) my usb-cradle is not found, that
means no active sync connection! (i also tried wlan connection, but it did
not work either).

so, i figured out how to generate cab files which i copied onto my desktop
to push them on the device. too bad, there´s no cf 2.0 on it and my app just
won´t run.

so here´s my question:
is there a way to intall the cf 2.0 on the device besides
deploying/debugging via vs2005?

thanks in advance.

Yes, you can use either

a) RapiDeploy from
http://www.opennetcf.org/PermaLink.aspx?guid=eae15a33-340f-46d4-8bdf-463c801c430d
(requires .Net Framework installed on the Desktop)

or

b) cecopy and rapistart from the MS Windows Mobile Developer Powertoys

HTH,
Jörg
 
Jörg, thanks for your answer. that should work!

anyways, i found out that there´s a simple way to install the cf. you just
have to do the vs2005 job by yourself. i searched the vs folder for the
netcf20 cab file and copied it via active sync on the device - ran it and
that´s it :)

Yes, but with the tools above you can automate the deployment process
(e.g. with a batchfile). Additionaly, you can add them to your 'external
tools' menu in VS2005.

In my current project I have to work with 5 different MDA III. While
testing, I often have to hardreset the devices. So with two mouseclicks,
I can copy the .net compact framework, the german language file and my
application to the device and automatically install it. Very convenient
:-)
