Connection OK with ActiveSync - not OK with VS2003

[Michel Couche]

Hello,

I have a Dell Axim that is recognised OK by ActiveSync 3.7.1. and when I
start the PC, synchronisation is done automatically with no problem.
However, when I test a project with VS2003, I get a connection failed
message "Cannot establish a connection. Be sure the device is physically
connected to the development computer"

In case it can help to solve my problem, the network connection is OK
because I can surf on the Internet with the Pocket PC via my laptop

Thanks in advance,

Michel

Hi Michel,

You can try downloading the Windows CE Utilities for
Visual Studio .NET 2003 Add-on Pack 1.1. It fixes
common ActiveSync problems:

If that doesn't do the trick, there is a thread on OpenCF
Forums with a couple of suggestions for fixes:

I hope this information is useful.
