vs2005 beta2 compact framework emulator
I have tried and tried again to get the Pocket_PC emulator to connect to VS2005 beta2. I can make the emulator 'browse' the network, I can even ping it, however, all the VS2005 beta2 attempts to connect to the device give a variety of errors.
The VS2003 emulators work fine with VS2003, but even using the device manager I cannot connect to the beta2 emulator.
You think this should be easy or there should be doc's to guide you, but if there are, I can't seem to find them.
Anyone been successful using the .net2005 compact framework beta 2 connecting to the emulator, and if so, how did you do it.
Thanks

Yes, they just worked out of the box.
How did you install VS2005 Beta 2? Where there previous B1/CTP installations or did you start with a clean box (I did the latter)? What OS are you running?
Providing as much information about your setup, how you got there and the exact repro steps will help someone that has overcome similar problems help you.
Cheers

I appologize for the lack of information. I did not start with a clean box. All three of computers I tried this on were XPSP2 and Visual Studio .net2003. Two of them I followed the removal procedure, the third never had 2005 on it. The problem seems to be that even though the emulator can connect to the internet. .net2005 beta seems to be unable to connect to the emulator and I have been unsuccessful at getting activesync to see the emulator also.
After you note, I guess I will try a 'clean' box and see where that gets me.
Thanks,
By default, Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 uses tcpip as the transport to the emulator. The fact that you have access to outside sites (the internet) proves that the emulator has a valid network connection. However, you still want to verify the ip of the emulator. To do this on a pocket pc, go into settings, connections, network cards, Ne2000 compatible ethernet driver. Try to ping this ip from your desktop computer.
If you have installed a previous version of VS2005 on a computer, you might still have configuration files that are now invalid. Close VS, delete the following directory:
\Documents and Settings\<localuser>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CoreCon
and restart VS
For activesync problems, make sure that the checkbox "Allow connections from the following" is checked and that DMA is selected. This is the special channel through which the emulator communicates with activesync.
Which image are you using?
Well CarlBrochu you hit the nail on the head. The solution to my problem was indead the existence of
\Documents and Settings\<localuser>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CoreCon
Once deleted connection to the Emulator worked almost instantly, just had to reset the Emulator.
Thank you very much and may I ask where you found the information to even think to look at that location....
Thanks again and problem solved
