VS2005

I'm using "eMbedded Visual C++ 4" to develop my "Pocket PC 2003"
applications.

Can I use it to develop "Pocket PC 2005" applications? Will be released
"eMbedded Visual C++ 5"?

Develop, yes, debug no.

No. Studio 2005 is the path forward for all device development, whether
managed or native.

Why debug no?

If I *only* will be able to use Visual Studio 2005 to develop "eMbedded
Visual C++" applications, how can I debug it?

In other words, eVC4 is deading forever, right? :-(

The binaries generated will work on WM 5.0. The debugger cannot attach to a
WM 5.0 device. Debug on a PPC '03.

You can debug with Studio 2005.

Yes. That was announced over a year ago.

I've downloaded WM5 SDK but you can't install it into eVC4, because you can
install it only into Visual Studio 2005! So you can't develop/debug by eVC4!

You don't need the WM 5 SDK to build apps that run on WM 5. I use eVC
3 with the Pocket PC SDK (original SDK for original Pocket PC) and my
apps work under WM 5. I haven't tested other combinations, but I'm
quite sure the following would work:
eVC 3 and Pocket PC 2000 SDK
eVC 3 and Pocket PC 2002 SDK
eVC 4 and Pocket PC 2003 SDK

Yes, it could be so, but to be sure you should have to compile your source
code using the correct SDK.

I think the best way to be sure is to test the program on real
hardware. I've done that and my apps work. So the SDK I use may not be
"correct" (as in proper match to the target platform), but it sure
works well enough for my purposes. And it sure proves you don't _need_
VS 2005 to develop apps that run under WM 5.
