Hi Guys
I am trying to install a Visual Basic 2005 application on a windows CE.NET device. I cannot see a CE.NET device in the list so I tried selecting Windows CE 5.0. It gave me a message cannot create a file as the file name already exists.
Is there any option to connect to a Windows CE.NET device
Any inputs will be highly appreciated.

Correct. Keep in mind VS 2005 does not officially support CE 4.2 devices even with NETCF V2 SP1, so it might fail. In that case you should be able to deploy your application manually and run it. Also, your CE 4.2 device must have all dependencies required by NETCF V2 in order to run. If particular device does not have all required dependencies, it’s NETCF V2 incompatible.

CE 4.x (AKA CE.Net) is not supported by VS 2005. NETCF V2 SP1 currently in beta would add CE 4.2 runtime support. Please see this for more info:
