Vittorio,
With VS2005 Beta 1, if you attempt to deploy to emulator or device
and a connection cannot be established to the device, VS just sits
there - this is a known problem with the beta of Whidbey. You have
to kill the process from Task Manager and even restart the PC at times
to get working again.
The thing you need to solve is why VS2005 is not able to connect to your
device
or the emulator. Have you set the correct platform in the Configuration
Manager for your Smart Device project? If Tools --> Connect to Device
fails, you have an issue. Make sure your development PC has is on
a network - the emulator in Whidbey still requires you to have a PC
with an IP address.
I did a large PPC demo for Microsoft back in June using Whidbey and
this issue of connection to the emulator or device failing and just sitting
there cost me a LOT of time and restarts. I have reported it to the
Visual Studio team and I'm sure it will be addressed (with at least some
sort of timeout like in VS.Net 2003) before release.
