Active-Sync and Visual Studio lag
Richard Daehne
I've got a curious problem with debugging a windows ce application with
visual studio (vb.net), using an active-sync connection:
we develop application for windows ce since some years without problems,
since 2 or 3 weeks two problems occurred.
environment:
- Windows XP, SP 3
- Visual Studio 2008 or 2005
- tried with Windows-Firewall off, G Data Antivirus off, same effect
first problem/mystery:
- I connect a windows ce device after windows-reboot: active sync connects,
but I cannot list the files on the device (button "browse", german
"durchsuchen")
- I connect my windows mobile (!) phone: active sync is synchronizing
- I reconnect the windows ce device: and now I can list the files on the
device with active sync!
after every windows-reboot I can reproduce this behaviour.
second problem:
debugging a visual studio solution (vb.net) on the device:
- I connect the windows ce device (after connectiong my windows mobile
phone), active-sync connection existing
- start debugging with F5
- choosing "Windows CE device"
- german development environment says "Bereitstellen wurde gestartet ...",
(must be something like "prepared, started", don't know the exact words in
english)
- the application environment seems to be hanging - but after 3-4 minutes it
goes on and the application is starting
- I remove the device: active sync needs 2-3 minutes to recognize the
detachment
we have got two notebooks with this behaviour.
did anyone encounter same difficulties?
thanks for every advice!
