Annoying eVC device download problems
I have been playing around with some handheld development again (did some a few years ago). I am really just exploring ActiveSync and what the state of the tools are presently. So I have been picking as eVC/eVB 3, eVC4, and the Compact Framework. As before, some of it was easy while other bits of it can be extremely frustrating. Getting eVC3 to consistently download the binaries happens to be one of the most annoying gotchas :(.
After trying a few dozen different things from various topics in the groups one solution has come up consistently as solving the problem of eVC failing to start/connect to the device during the build. All you need to do is start up a copy of the Remote Zoomin tool and it will prime the connection, cancel it after it starts downloading the bitmap if you wish but it is best to leave it running. From the point on (until you undock) you can build to your hearts content.
It is a shame about the undocking bits since what I am playing with relate to ActiveSync and having to redo those steps can be bothersome at times but at least it works.
