First of all, to build Windows CE/Windows Mobile applications you need Visual Studio 2008, that's the latest Visual Studio version that support those Operative Systems.

I've done a quick test and it works for me using RMS v5.2.2 and Visual Studio 2008 (plus the WM6.5.3 SDK and the Symbol MC3000 PSDK for Windows CE support, you can find the detailed setup on RMS documentation).

If you're moving a project from a previous RMS version to the latest available, always remember to do a rake clean:<your target platform> as a first step.

Edit: Forgot to mention the very important thing that, Windows Mobile/Windows CE support, requires a paid license. You can get more information on RhoMobile website and looking at the API list where, everything linked to Windows Mobile/Windows CE is marked as a paid feature.

Thanks for the reply but it always doesn't work : I've uninstalled The VS 2013 and I've installed VS 2008 but it always doesn't work, I think that the documentation is old , could you help me more sir and i ask if i can have your email ?? – Dehmane Sep 14 '15 at 14:54
You just need to check that you've all the [requirements installed](http://docs.rhomobile.com/en/5.2.2/guide/nativesdksetup#setup-for-windows-mobile) and that you have at least a Silver RhoMobile license. Because [Windows Mobile/Windows CE support requires a paid license](http://rhomobile.com/pricing/). – pfmaggi Sep 14 '15 at 20:44
Thank you sir that was very helpful – Dehmane Sep 15 '15 at 08:05
