    What is the error message you get Also, what kind of application is it

    Joji, can I know the error messages that you are getting. then I may be able to help you more.

    Also note that .NET 2003 applications are using .Net Compact Framework (.NET CF) 1.1. In .NET 2005 it is using .NET CF 2.0.

    But Windows Mobile is an OS kind of thing, it will run both frameworks.

    First I would like you to check whether you have installed .NET CF 1.1 on your Mobile device because it will be needing to run the application that you have developed in .NET 2003.

    Best Regards,

    Considering the fact that you do not want to update your application to VS2005, one of the options might be to create a Smart Device Cab project in VS2005, add the output assemblies of your application to the cab project and install the cab on WM 5.0.
