I am trying to debug an application for WinCE devices. I got VS2008 installed

  • 0

I am trying to debug an application for WinCE devices. I got VS2008 installed on my machine (next to VS2010) but I cannot debug in emulator nor on the devices. I searched some time now but can anyone explain how to configure this properly or give a good link?

When using debugger it complains that AppName\AppName.exe was not found on the device. When setting smart device to Windows CE to connect to my device it simply says that it cannot connect after some time.

I do not have ActiveSync installed as it is not available for Win7.

    Is this managed code or native code? If native, what processor architecture (ARM, x86, etc) ? For native code you need to at least have an SDK installed with the matching architecture – the exact SDK though doesn’t actually matter.

    To make a debugger connection, try copying the corecon bits (conmanclient2.exe, cmaccept.exe, etc) to the device an manually running that, then connecting to the IP address. This works for both managed and native apps and is way more reliable than trying to use the WMDC/AS pipe. This article covers it – it’s for 2005, but the process in VS08 is identical.
