.NET Forum / .NET Framework / Compact Framework / August 2007Windows CE .NET 5.0
Hi, Is it possible to develop application with VS.Net 2003 on Windows CE .NET 5.0 device ? I test with Windows CE .NET 4.20 and it's ok, but with .net 5.0 I have no idea! Thanks for your answer > Is it possible to develop application with VS.Net 2003 on Windows CE > .NET 5.0 device ? > > I test with Windows CE .NET 4.20 and it's ok, but with .net 5.0 I have > no idea! With Visual Studio .NET 2003 you can only develop applications for .NET Compact Framework 1.0. There is no .NET CF 1.0 running on Windows CE 5.0. But you can install .NET CF 2.0 on your Windows CE 5.0 device and run your applications against it. Normally this should work without problems, but you won't be able to connect Visual Studio .NET 2003 to your device for debugging purposes. To do this you will need Visual Studio 2005 and convert yout project to .NET CF 2.0 (makes some things easier anyway). Marc Not quite true. Although I would guess that most vendors build .NET CF 2.0 into CE5 devices, both versions appear in the catalog and either could be built in. No matter what version of .NET CF is on the device, it will *always* run .NET CF 1.0 programs; 2.0 will try to act like 1.0, in cases where your program is 1.0.

This is interesting as - there is no CAB file to install .NET CF 1.0 on a Windows CE 5.0 device. - there is no project type for a .NET CF 1.0 application in Visual Studio 2005 (for Pocket PC 2003 there are project types for both frameworks). Marc Yes, that's true, there's no CAB specifically for CE5, although the install for .NET CF 1.0SP3 (3? I think it's 3), should work for CE5 or CE4.2, etc. At the time that CE5 shipped to us OEMs, .NET CF 1.0 was all there was; 2.0 did not yet exist, so it did work (VS2005 didn't exist yet, either). Microsoft seems to have decided that you don't need to target .NET CF 1.0 from VS2005 (why, I'm not clear, but they are a bit blind with respect to the fact that some of these devices are not upgraded or replaced on a yearly basis, like a phone might be). You can either use VS.NET2003 to do your .NET CF 1.0 programs, or you can use one of the PPC2003 project types as your starting point in VS2005 which are available in 1.0 configurations.

So if I update to Visual Studio .NET 2005, can I debug my applications developped with Visual Studio .NET 2003 ? If it's not possible, can I install VS .Net 2003 and 2005 on the same computer ? Thanks in advance! Marc Ambrosius a exprimé avec précision : >> Is it possible to develop application with VS.Net 2003 on Windows CE >> .NET 5.0 device ?

Yes, but you have to upgrade your project to Visual Studio 2005 as well (and there is no automatic way to go back later). > If it's not possible, can I install VS .Net 2003 and 2005 on the same > computer ? Yes, they can run side-by-side. Marc Free MagazinesGet these publications absolutely FREE for up to 12 months. There are no hidden fees and no obligation.
