Remote Debugging in Windows Embedded

I am moving from Windows CE 6 to Windows Embedded Standard 7 for a project, and I am wondering how remote debugging of .NET applications works with Windows Embedded target devices. In CE with VS2008 and ActiveSync (USB), I can get into F5 and my application is automatically deployed to the target device and executed so that I can execute my breakpoints exactly as if I were debugged locally.

Is there an equivalent remote debugging solution for debugging Windows Embedded? A quick look at the Visual Studio "Remote Debugger" documentation makes it all a lot more complicated and less integrated. Is there an easy way to debug applications on target devices running Windows Embedded, as with CE?

Thanks Ben

I have experience working with standard network interfaces on Embedded Std7, but I assume that the approach using ActiveSync connections is exactly the same (as ActiveSync devices, such as my mobile phone, appear under "My Computer"); In short:

  • Suppose the embedded device is on \\ Embedded
  • share the directory on the embedded device, for example, "temp"
  • run the remote debugger client on your device.
  • specify the output directory of your VS project in \\ Embedded \ temp
  • set project parameters for remote debugging in \\ Embedded
  • pressing F5 will build exe, put it in \\ Embedded \ temp and start debugging it

Look here for the document that launched me.
