Windows CE Emulation with USB-support from host system

I need to emulate a Windows CE 5 image from Platform Builder, but I need to access a webcam, connected through USB on the host system. Is this possible, and if so - how

A second question is, can I connect my Visual Studio 2005 to this device, deploying .Net-applications for debugging purpose..

Thanks in advice..

    To develop apps for the CE based device you need to have the SDK for that device installed. If you want to use device emulator for the purpose while rolling SDK you need to enable (ARM)emulation support also.

    I am sorry i don't understand your second part of the question.

    What are the alternatives, if I have to develop an application for a CE-based device

    To get a eBox or something to test it on

    Sorry but device emulator at present doesn't support connecting to USB devices.

    For your second question, i believe you can roll the SDK for the image you generated from PB. After installation of this SDK, you should be to create project for this platform and deploy applications to it using VS2005. This blog although little offtopic will give you some hints on how to achieve that http://blogs.msdn.com/barrybo/archive/2006/08/21/710908.aspx

    Hope this helps.
