Hello,
I have here a strange problem even with the simplest project.
When I create e.g. a device application for a pocket PC 2003 smart device (C#)
I cannot see the Form. The Designer opens "Form1.cs [Design]", but not the form itself with the title bar, ... I can see only the part where you place timers,... This space is already filled out with a menu "mainMenu1"
This behaviour we don't have on another PC.
The problem does not occur with PC applications.
----
I have had the VS2005 beta before, but uninstalled everything as mentioned by MS before installing the VS2005 Release.
Also I did the following:
1. For each user on the machine remove the %userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CoreCon\1.0 Folder and all files under it.
2. For each user on the machine rename the %userprofile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Device Emulator\ folder to %userprofile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Device Emulator_B2\
It hasn 't helped.
Do you have a solution for solving the problem
Thanks,
Christoph
Update on the issue, still not solved

Thanks to Shabbar Husain from Microsoft the problem was finally solved:
Could you please try this
There are 2 keys left over in the registry from some older NetCf install:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETCompactFramework\v2.0.4251]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETCompactFramework\v2.0.4307]
If you see any key of the format v2.0.* other than with v2.0.0.0 and v2.0.3600 please remove them.
It would be good to take a back up before removing.
They points to invalid directory and thus broke the designer. You will probably need to reset the toolbox to get the VS toolbox items back (right click on the toolbox, do “reset”).

Keys V1.0xxxx were not necessary to delete/rename.
I did have an entry v2.0.4278“.
After renaming that one everything worked fine.
Make sure that this issue was early April/2006 with the first release of VS2005. Maybe with VS2005 updates,... you will have new entries there, that of course don't have to be deleted then.
Tanks you all for the help,
Christoph

Is that NETCF V1 project (with 1.0 in it) If so, do you have .Net Framework 1.1 and SDK 1.1 installed

I searched the forums, others seems to have the same problem and some suggestions have been made. But still to no avail:
I used the "Hammer" tool to deinstall VS2005 and all previous installations regarding Beta 2,...
I also deinstalled the CF1.0 framework and the MSXML 6 Parser.
After all deinstallation the problem remains in a new installation of VS2005.
What else can it be
Please, please don't say "install XP and all programs again". I would be very unhappy!

Hello Ilya,
no it is a CF2.0 project (display under project properties-framework version)
If I choose a Pocket PC 20003 SE device or a CE 5.0 Device makes no difference.
If I make the same steps on a colleages computer, everything is fine!
I forgot also to mention, that deploying is different, too.
If I ignore everything and start the emulator he start to copy a lot of systemfiles on the device, until it crashes because it runs out opf memeory. if I do the same on the other computer he deploys just a coubloe of cab files and the apllication start within seconds.
