Hi,

While deploying using Active Sync 3.7.1, I am receiving the follwing error:

------ Deploy started: Project: Interfaces, Configuration: Debug Pocket PC
------

Deploying to Pocket PC Device using TCP Connect Transport

Error: Cannot establish a connection. Be sure the device is physically
connected to the development computer.
---------------------- Done ----------------------

Build: 1 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 skipped
Deploy: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 skipped

Although I can see the files on my Pocket PC and even copy and Paste, but
why this error message i m getting?

Please help.

Arif,

Can you see the device in Windows Explorer? Can you manually deploy the app
to the device? Can you use VS to deploy without debugging? Have you tried a
hard reset of the device?

These are some things to try.
