I am considering changing Target device for one of my projects from Pocket PC 2003 Device to Windows Mobile.

I am new to the area however and would like first to explore pros and cons and potential issues I might have.

Finally and if possible, how can I change target device? I looked in Project Properties->Devices->Target device dropdown and that dropdowns lists only Pocket PC 2003 Devices, no Windows Mobile 5.0 or higher. However, I am on VS2008 and I know that I can create a brand new project targeting Windows Mobile 5.0, but how to change an old project from Pocket PC 2003 Device to Windows Mobile 5.0?

Much appreciated,

  • I don't think you can but has been a while for me. these are different templates and platforms/architecture so you cannot quite mix and match but you can port over code with some modification due to the features exposed/unavailable from one platform to the other. – Ahmed ilyas Nov 14 '13 at 19:24

Depending on the progr. language you can switch between Target platforms in the Solution Configuration Manager. There is a column with Platform. There you can click the drop down arrow and select and then change to any of the installed Windows Mobile SDKs you have installed on your PC.

  • Hi Josef, and thanks for your reply. I use C# in VS2008 and I figured out that I can just right-click on my project -> Change Target Platform. My main concern is would Windows Mobile 5.0 or higher project support also Pocket PC 2003 devices. Thanks – d.b Nov 15 '13 at 15:20
  • It depends. If you use any special API or .net lib of WM5, your app will not run on PPC2003. – josef Nov 16 '13 at 08:05
