Windows Mobile Woes

Submitted by redwyre on

Has anyone done any development for Windows Mobile 2003 (or Pocket PC 2003)? I'm having trouble getting eVC to deploy to my mobile.

Right now I'm doing development on Windows CE 5.0 using eVc 4 SP4 at work, although its not the same thing, I do know how much trouble these things can be. My questions would be:
What kind of transports in the Platform manager have you tried?
What cable is connecting your phone to your workstation?
Are you trying to upload your application through eVC itself?

I know that the Microsoft embedded stuff can be a pain to use and get right, even with the emulator and that, so good luck to you getting it working.

Every possible permutation. If I select the Windows CE device, it connects successfully but I can't select that as the platform.

USB that came with the phone, works fine for syncing and browsing the phone.

Yeah, eVC++ SP4 fails as well as VS2003.

Odd thing is that I can't connect to the emulator either, so I dunno what's going on.

Does the phone contain the necessary DLL's as required by each option?
Can you upload files to it using the file browser tool?
Are you using a custom SDK or just the Standard one that came with eVC?
Other than that I can't help too much, at work I'm just using the emulator with a custom SDK.
