Pocket PC Forum / Developers / WinCE Programming / August 2008How to debug managed app with Visual Studio 2005
I have a target device with Windows CE 5 and I'm able to connect to the device via ActiveSync. In Visual Studio 2005 I installed the SDK and created a new C# Smart Device Project. The sample app is correctly built, deployed and run on the device (F5 key) but the break points are never hit ("The specified module has not been loaded"). I already set the registry key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\.NETCompactFramework\Managed Debugger] "AttachEnabled"=dword:1 but it didn't work. I also tried to run the app via CTRL+F5 and then to "Attach to Process...", but it didn't work too. Can you give me some hint? MSDN library didn't help me a lot... SA Is it a DEBUG build of the application? I don't think I've ever seen that... Paul T. >I have a target device with Windows CE 5 and I'm able to connect > to the device via ActiveSync.

Yes, it is... SA I'd start a new, simple project, just the wizard-generated program and add a breakpoint to the form constructor. Does that work? Paul T. >>Is it a DEBUG build of the application?

VS2005 won't be able to debug a program that's running in the .NET CF 3.5 run-time; it will only work if the .NET CF 1.0 or 2.0 run-time is on the device.

Only .NET CF 2.0 is included in the runtime image. I have the strong feeling it is a problem of my development environment...

SA Yes, that sounds as though "something" is broken in the install. You need to take care, when you have several IDEs installed on the same system, for example, to install them in order from oldest to newest. If you install VS2008 first, then VS2005, or, in your case, maybe VS2005, then VS.NET2003 or something, you can screw things up. You also need to be sure that you aren't firewalling VS2005 away from the network. If it's Windows Firewall, just turn it off for a quick test...

Windows Firewall is configured to allow ActiveSync connections... I will try to reinstall the operating system from scratch, with all QFES and patches... I thank you for your help. SA Turn the firewall off. It's easy and a quick test can tell you a lot... Yikes! Don't reinstall the OS! Uninstall and reinstall VS2005, if anything.

I thank you for your help. > SA Hello, i´ve exactly the same problem. The reason is that WinCE uses .Net CF 2.0 SP1, but VS2005 is installed only with .Net CF 2.0. There is a patch from MS which installs the .Net CF 2.0 SP1 on your development pc: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=7befd787-9b5e-40c6-8d10 -d3a43e5856b2&displaylang=en Regards, Andy > I have a target device with Windows CE 5 and I'm able to connect > to the device via ActiveSync.
