Why the toolbox is empty for smart device project in my VS 2005?

I just installed VS 2005.

I created a new smart device project. But I noticed that the toolbox is empty. Then I created a windows application, everything is OK.

I am confused. Did I miss something during my installation

Thanks.

    First, thanks very much for your advise. But I still have some difficulty here.

    My version is professional edition.

    The system on my ppc is WM2003.

    I downloaded the first file you listed. When I tried to install, it showed that it is for embedded c++ 4.0. Not for C#.

    In addition, when I tried to deploy my project. A message box showed that "no such interface supported". Is that because I did not install proper SDK

    Thanks.

    Both vs 2003 and vs2005 are installed on my PC. It seems fine I installed 2005. 2003 works fine. However 2005 shows some problem as above. Is there any conflict between they two, especially for the smart device developement

    Thanks.

    Remember that smartphone WM2003 projects can only be created in VS2003.

    I'll see what else I can dig up



  • Derek Nedelman

    are you using VS2003 or VS2005

  • olarsson

    what version of VS2005 if you have express, its not supported.

    you also need to install the SDK for the PPC/smartphone:

     

    WM 2003 smartphone:

    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx familyid=a6c4f799-ec5c-427c-807c-4c0f96765a81&displaylang=en

    WM5 smartphone:

    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx familyid=DC6C00CB-738A-4B97-8910-5CD29AB5F8D9&displaylang=en

    WM5 PPC:

    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx familyid=83A52AF2-F524-4EC5-9155-717CBE5D25ED&displaylang=en

     

    This should now allow you to create the smartdevice project

    hope it helps!

    Does this mean I could use only VS2003 to develope since the system on my device is WM2003

    But when I deploy my program in VS2005, the deploy box shows "PPC 2003 device" and "PPC 2003 SE emulator".

    When I select one, error box shows " no such interface support". Why

    Thanks.

    yes that is correct.

    you can develop on the PPC if you install .NET CF 2.0 SP1 if the OS is higher than Windows CE 4.2
