Introduction
An update is available for Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1 (SP1) that adds support for developing applications for Windows Embedded Compact 7. Specifically, this update fixes the following issue and adds the following feature.
Issue 1
Consider the following scenario:
-
You run a Windows Embedded Compact 7 run-time image on a target device. The kernel debugging feature is not enabled in the image.
-
You use the Windows Embedded Compact 7 software development kit (SDK) in Visual Studio 2008 SP1 to create a Smart Device application for the device.
-
You use Visual Studio debugger to debug the application, and then click the single-step debug buttons.
In this scenario, the single-step debug buttons do not work correctly. For example, when you click Step Into, Step Out, or Step Over, the result is the same as if you had clicked Go.
Feature 1
This update adds a feature that automatically detects when the Windows Embedded Compact 7 SDK is being used. Also, this update adds the ability to compile and link with header files and libraries that are specific to Windows Embedded Compact 7. The header files and libraries that are specific to Windows Embedded Compact 7 are located under the following directory:
<system drive>:\Programs Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9\VC\CE7Â
If such a directory exists, the components for a Windows Embedded Compact 7 project will take precedence over the files that are located in the following directory:
<system drive>:\Programs Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9\VC\CEÂ
