Regarding .net CF2.0 and visual studio 2003

Hi all,

i've just installed the .net framework 2.0 and the compact portion

but cannot create any smart device projects that reference the 2.0

framework.

is there something i am missing

I've reviewed as much documentation as i can but nothing says that

visual studio 2003 is not supported.

    "will supports win MObile 2003"

    yes, but that's not actually what was asked.

    VS2003 can only be used to develop cf 1.0 apps (on ppc2003)

    VS2005 can be used to develop cf 1.0 & cf 2.0 apps (on ppc2003 or WM5.0)

    You need Visual Studio 2005 to develop for NETCF V2, VS 2003 only works with NETCF V1. Same is true for desktop:

    VS 2002 aNET 1.0

    VS 2003-> NET 1.1

    VS 2003-> NET 2.0

    You can, however, install NETCF V2 on to your device (assuming it's supported) and run existing NETCF V1 application against NETCF V2:

    Thanks all for your replies here.

    This is not spelt out anywhere on the .net 2.0 download or

    documentation that i could find.

    i am a little pissed that my VS2003 copy which has barely been used

    is not rendered defunct and obsolete 6 months after it was purchased
