How to Do C/C++ Development for WinCE 5.0?

How do I create a C/C++ project for our WinCE 5.0 device? I don't see our SDK when I run the new project wizard.

You just select in "New project wizard" a MFC or native Win project. Under Tools->Options->Device Tools->Devices you can select the emulator which is in your case Smartphone or PocketPc 5.0.
Before that you must of course install the SDK's.

They can be downloaded here:

or just google.

Make sure that when you installed VS that you installed all languages, there were bugs in Beta2 where there was a cross dependency that we missed.
Shutdown VS then install the appropriate SDK (Windows Mobile, CE5.0 Standard SDK or any CE Custom SDK).

The platform page should now list the SDK as a selection.

It turns out there was something wrong with my SDK. I rebuilt and reinstalled it and everything is working now. Thanks!

(Now if only the Emulator image would work in the new Visual Studio!)

Thanks,

Dale, Can you please share how you fixed this. I think I am having the same issue. WinCE 5.0 SDK's produced by Platfrom Builder are not showing in VS2005 as a platform to target. Thanks. -Jim.
