WinCE 4.2 - (VS2003 or VS2005)?

  • Thread starter Thread starter Guest
  • Start date Start date
Hello,

I would like to develop an app for a device with WinCE 4.2.
Do I need to use the Visual Studio .NET 2003 or can I also use VS2005?

The problem with VS2005 is that I only see projects for Windows CE 5.0 and
none of the type Windows CE 4.1/4.2.
 
Thanks for the prompt info.

I have a Pocket PC with Windows CE 4.20 as the operating system and can do
the following:

1. I put the pocket PC in its cradle and start up Visual Studio 2005 on the
attached computer
2. I create a new Pocket PC Smart Device Device Application in VS 20005
3. I put a button on the startup form in the application with Button1_Click
code of Msgbox("Hello")
4. In VS I click on Debug |Start Debugging
5. I choose to deploy the application on the Pocket PC 2003 Device (which
has Win CE 4.20)
6. My application with Button1 appears on the Pocket PC in the attached
cradle
7. I tap on Button1 on the PPC, and receive a message of Hello on the
attached PPC--not an emulator.

So it appears to me that VS 2005 can indeed debug on such devices.

However, I should point out that I had to upgrade my ActiveSync on the
computer to version 4.1 before the Compact Framework 2.0 could be loaded
onto the Pocket PC

You have a Pocket PC, which is a special case. The OP's question led me to
beleiuve he has a vanilla CE 4.2 device, which is not a supported scenario.
In fact CF 2.0 still isn't supported on those devices.

I see. There is a lot I don't know about all the different permutations on
operating system, etc. available on the different devices.
