write a C++ prog in VS 2005 beta 2 to run on pocketPC device
Hi,
I've got a question about using visual studio 2005 beta 2 writing a C++ program to run on a pocket pc device.(not emulator) If this is possible how do you do it? Do you need any sdk (smartphone 2003 or pocketpc 2003)?
I've tried to connect to my PPC by Tools\Connect to Device\SmartPhone2003\Smartphone2003 device, the connection was succesful but then when I was trying to build the program, it reports an error "cannot open include file 'simmgr.h' "(I do have an include of simmgr.h)
The strange thing is that originally I wrote the program in EVC++ 4.0 and the program runs fine. The errors only came up with VS 2005.
Does anyone have any idea of this situation? Please kindly help me out. Thanks in advanced.
Puso.

You can use Visual Studio 2005 to write an application for Pocket PC and Smartphone 2003. You do not need to install any new SDKs.
How did you create your application in VS2005? Did you create a new project from scratch?

For the benefit of those watching this post, I got a private mail from the original poster with some more details. He was having trouble getting his post to go through to the forums.
The project is being created by using File > New > Project From Existing Code, which will almost certainly create a project with incorrect references for building smart device applications. Instead, I've asked the original poster to try using the beta of our eVC upgrade wizard. It's available at:
