Here’s my problem. I’m currently trying to develop a .Net Compact Framework 2.0 application (in C#) to a Windows CE 5.0 device.

Firstly: How do I debug/emulate the application in Visual Studio 2008 ? I doesn’t mean debugging an application already deployed on the device, but debugging the version on my desktop. I have limited or no access to the prototype device.

Secondly: How do I integrate it with the OS image made by Platform Builder for Windows CE 5.0 ? Do I need to ?

Thank you for your time

    Okay, so thanks everyone for the quick and nice answers. Although I’ve found my own solution yours may be as valid as mine.

    Basically what I didn’t tell you (because I didn’t really know it either) is that I didn’t actually need to emulate the OS, I only needed to work with the framework. I found the best way to “emulate” such situation here.

    Also, I found that the easiest way to deploy the application to the device is to use ActiveSync and I found just the right (MSDN) article for it.

    Ctacke: It’s probably due to my only learning this type of development, I somehow made an error while creating/installing “my own SDK” so the Visual Studio stopped functioning properly. But of course some digging made that go away. Thanks anyway. I liked the idea of developing with a testing device, unfortunately the company I work for already picked a device but they couldn’t issue me a prototype for development purposes yet.

    Frans, I haven’t found your CE simulator, but I’m pretty sure that I didn’t look for it enough so thanks.
