Embedded Visual C++ Version 3.0

[Rbutler]

Hi,
I've been using emBedded visual C++ for 2-3 years writing application for pocket PC ( Mainly Ipaq'a).

I've recentrly invested in a Xda but when I attempt to "update my remote output file" from with embedded VC ++" i get the following error:

" Microsoft Active sync connection server failed, Please make sure active sync is running and retry the download etc.."

Of course Activate sync is running, and running correctly, Has anyone had this issue before ?

I can manually copy my executable to my device and run it,but then I can't debug. I'm in the process of download VC 4.0 and going to try that, but really wold like to runing in under the 3.0 version.

Any comments would be appreicated.

Bad news dude, eVC++ works only with PocketPC 2000 + 2002. The development environment you'll need to develop on 2003+ is either eVC++ 4.0 or Microsoft Visual Studio.NET.

Thanks for the update,

I've installed Embedded VC 4.0 and the SP3, Now I can download to my XDA which is great.

Now I want to maintain backwards compatiable and download to my ipaqs in 2002, I can't change the actiive configuration to PPC2002

Is there a way to compile my application for both 2002 and 2003 using VC 4.0 or do I need to maintain both IDE's

Sorry but there's no way to maintain both 2K2 and 2K3 targets from eVC 4. You can have the same set of source code but eVC 3 + 4 have different project file types. Have a project per IDE containing the same source code. Just remember when you add files to the project you're working on, remember to add the files to the other platform's project as well.

Happy coding!
