Error in loading OpenNETCF 2.3 in VS2008

I've downloaded latest source code of version 2.3 and when I open it in VS2008 Pro I have an error message telling me that I must install Windows Mobile 6 Pro SDK.

So I've downloaded it and I'm struggling installing it because I have below error message: "COM3 is in use, please close Device Emulator if it's running and then retry".

I dont mind downloading the compiled dll of Open NET CF if it's available somewhere on the web?

Solution

  • No idea what the serial port message is talking about. That said, I have updated the source tree with a couple things of interest:

    1. I normalized the target platforms to "Windows CE" so you don't need the WinMo 6 SDK to open the solution any longer.
    2. I added a new solution file that loads only the core assembly projects (i.e. no sample apps and no unit tests).
    3. I added a binaries-only zip to the release download.

    One or more of these should address the issues you're having.
