Debugging Windows CE Device from Windows 10 with Visual Studio 2008

I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 this week. I develop compact framework software for mobile devices (Windows CE7, Windows Mobile e.g.). I use Visual Studio 2008.

Now I get the error: "error connecting to device" (Device Connectivity Component).

Windows Mobile Device Center is running and the device shows up in my explorer. Any hints?

Solution

  • I figured out my problem:

    In Visual Studio 2008 you can choose between "Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC Device" and "Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC Device R2"

    I had to choose "R2" and then it worked for me.
