• offa Target Windows Mobile 5.0 without VS 2005?

  Is there any way to target devices running Windows Mobile 5.0 without using VS2005 Unfortunately, the UI of VS 2005 doesn't work for me because of the way it entirely ignores my visual preferences (and the compiler, apparently favoring 'security' over anything else, isn't of much interest to me), so I'm forced to stay with previous version of VS. I attempted to install the SDK despite not having VS2005, and it seems to enforce that req ...Show All

  I am trying to use a Custom Build Rule to build assembler files, much as described by Jeff Abraham and I am kind of running into the same problem.
