CE 6.0: Visual Studio 2005 SP1 Beta Available for Download

  • Article

Somasegar's MSDN Blog has details for the Visual Studio 2005 SP1 Beta download (available from the Microsoft Connect site). SP1 contains fixes that are needed for application developers to write/deploy native and managed applications to Windows Embedded CE 6.0 based devices - If you are building a CE 6.0 device I would recommend that you download/install VS 2005 SP1.

Two of the Virtual Labs we're working on for launch walk through the steps needed to develop/deploy/debug managed and native applications from VS 2005 to a running CE 6.0 based ARM Emulator image - while building the labs I've been testing out various builds of VS 2005 SP1 - the bits seem to be very stable, I'm able to create applications (Win32, MFC, and Managed), build, deploy, and debug to the CE 6.0 emulator and to "real hardware".
