    I was able to connect to a WinCE 4.2 image running on the LPD7A400 from Visual Studio .NET 2003 over ActiveSync (AS 3.7.1). However, I am not able to establish a connection to the target when using WinCE 5.0.

    I have built in all the necessary components for ActiveSync over USB into my image:
    - ActiveSync
    - Network User Interface
    - Telephone API
    - Dial-Up Support (w/ Unimodem)
    - USB Function for Serial Device
    - LPD USB Function Driver

    I can get an ActiveSync connection with my WinCE 5.0 image on the target from my PC. However, I cannot establish a connection to the device from Visual Studio .NET over ActiveSync. I have not changed anything in VS.NET from when I was able to communicate with a WinCE 4.2 image on the target.

    I noticed in the Windows CE and WinCE Utilities directories in my VS.NET installation, there are directories for WinCE 3.X and WinCE 4.X, but none for 5.X. I thought maybe an update to VS.NET 2003 was needed to solve this problem, but one is not available (that I can find). I'm thinking this may be my problem.

    Any advise would be great as I am completely stuck here.

    Thanks!

    I guess the planets aligned properly and I got a VS.NET connection a few mins ago to my device. It started the download of the .NET Compact Framework 1.0. I then got the following error message:

    "Unsupported System Version:
    The program is not compatible with the current operating system and, therefore, may not run on this device. Do you want to continue installation?"

    I answered yes to continue the installation. My app eventually came up on the device and ran fine.

    I wish I knew exactly what I did to get this to work...
