I'm trying to debug an application on a Windows CE (Mobile SmartPhone,
specifically) device. I can debug the managed C# .NET code, but by native C++
DLLs have no symbols loaded and there is no way I can find to load them. I
cannot find any way to turn on debugging in native mode. I'm using VS 2008 as
my development platform. How do I load the symbols for my DLLs?

Try to check 'Enable unmanaged code debugging' in your C# .NET project. At
least there is such option for VB .NET and it helped me in similar situation.
