Please help! VS 2005 smart device application unable to deploy

I had a project built in VS 2003, and upgrade it to VS 2005 now.

The build process is sucessful, but when I want to deploy it to my Wince 5.0 device via Ethernet, an error message shown:

Description: Referenced package not found

File: Device Connectivity Component

Then I try to create a new project for testing the Ethernet connection, it works fine without any problem.

Any hint or advice is welcome, because it takes me days with no progress.

Thanks in advance.

Let me know if this works. Try renaming C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CoreCon (or wherever you find the Corecon directory).

Also, close VS after renaming and open again.

Custom control model changes in VS 2005. Have you adjusted these Also, if you use one of these in new empty project, does that work

No 3rd party components, no OpenNETCF, but have custom controls written by own codes.

Worked for me...but with a twist..
1. Shut down VS2005
2. Navigate to the folder (see above)
3. Rename 'v1.0' to 'xv1.0'
4. Re-start VS2005
5. Bobs your aunty

If new project works with the same device, consider creating new project and adding old sources to it.

I'm assuming you got new project to work using this:

Thanks for your reply. I did create a new project and added old sources to it, but still no luck.

BTW, your assumption is right, I follow the steps listed in above site to deploy my application to CE 5.0 device without ActiveSync.

To Ilya,

It takes me one day to adjust all the custom controls from vs 2003 to vs 2005, and have tested them ok in design time and run time on a newly created project.

But my problem still exists, I wonder if there is missing one assembly which has something to do with device connectivity
