.NET Compact Framework 2

[VZ800]

I have Visual Studio 2005 on my PC plus the WM5 SDK. I have been developing a WM5 application and using the emulator to debug. It is nearly ready and thought that I would debug through the Wm5 PPC. I was then confronted with a warning message that the Compact Framework 2.0 was not installed on my PPC. OK I thought so downloaded the NETCFSetupv2.msi from Microsoft. When I try to run this I am told that I already have the .NET 2 Framework - presumably because I have VS 2005 etc.

Is there any way for me to get the CF2 onto my PPC without having to uninstall VS 2005???

Hi there,
Yes you can....
...\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SmartDevices\SDK\CompactFramework\2.0\v2.0\Windo wsCE\wce500\armv4i


go to this folder and pick up the frame work that suits you :)

copy the cab file "NETCFv2.wce5.armv4i.cab" for Pocket PC to Pocket PC and install it.....

If you go into the properties of your project within VS2005 you will see a tab page for Devices. On that tab page change the target device to that which you want to deploy it to and lower down the page you will see a check box to "Deploy the latest version of the .NET CF". Ensure that box is checked. Debug your project and the CF will be installed on the device.
