Mobile Apps - Debug to device

Asked By LightStamp

19-Nov-09 10:30 AM

I am an ol PocketPC developer and working contract for a company with a
Windows CE device and existing app.  Got the project loaded into VS2005 and
set breakpoints but when i run the app in debug it does not stop but I get
the dreaded "The breakpoint will not be hit. The specified module has not
been loaded."

it is a VS2005 Team edition IDE and I do not see the Debug/Release
configuration selector in the toolbar next to the Run vcr button as i was
used to in other versions of Visual Studio.

But I am running from the debug menu.

Is there isomething extra I am needing to do to make the breakpoints active?

TIA

Without seeing it, it is hard to guess what might be going on.  It *sounds*,
though, like you are not downloading the version of the executable that you
just built or that you are setting a breakpoint in a file that is not part of
the project you are trying to debug.  VS2005 has the same selection control
for build type and target device (which could be another problem, if you are
building for, say, the emulator and trying  to debug on the device or vice
versa), as eVC and VS.NET 2003.
