I am develeping a software package in C# for the pocket pc in .NET studio.
The package builds but fails to deploy. The error I get is :-

Deploying to Marks_Pocket_PC using TCP Connect Transport

Error: Cannot establish a connection. Be sure the device is physically
connected to the development computer.

I have tried creating a new dummy app and that has the same problem.

Other info :-

Active sync works ok and I can copy files from Desktop to Pocket PC. The
Pocket PC is an IPAQ 5400. I have used the embedded tools (eVC3) and they
can build and deploy to the Pocket PC. It is running Pocket PC 2002.
Desktop is running Win XP Pro. Using the emulator in .NET studio works
fine.

I am quite new to Pocket PC development so I would appreciate anyone with
any thoughts???

Thx in advance.

Mark,

I was having the same problem with a new iPaq 5555 (USB, Windows Server
2003, VS2003) which I got yesterday. Prior to getting the new iPaq
everything was working fine with an older iPaq H3630. Before I setup the new
iPaq I went to the Web to get the latest version of ActiveSync (3.7.1). I
uninstalled ActiveSync 3.7 and installed ActiveSync 3.7.1. I think that was
where the problem occurred. I had it in my notes for setting up my machine
from scratch that ActiveSync should be installed before Visual Studio .NET
but I forgot about it.

Late last night I unstalled ActiveSync 3.7.1 and Visual Studio .NET 2003 and
everything related (e.g. Pocket PC 2003 SDK, SmartPhone 2003 SDK). I shut
the machine down and went to bed.
This morning I installed:
1) ActiveSync 3.7.1
2) Visual Studio .NET 2003

Problem solved for me. Now I can deploy SDE projects to the new iPaq.
Great way to start the day.
Not sure if this will solve your problem but it's something to try.

Ron
