The basic plug-in configuration for a new .cebundleinfo file is comprised of the following items:

You can change this basic configuration for the needs of your plug-in, as described in the following procedures.

How to add a device configuration from a Custom or Windows Embedded CE SDK installed on the system

Make sure that you have installed the desired software development kit (SDK) on your system.
In Visual Studio 2005, on the Tools menu, click Options.
Expand Device Tools, and then click Devices.
Verify that the desired SDK is listed in the Devices dialog box.

The Devices box lists the devices that are configured in the Core Connectivity data store. For more information on Core Connectivity, see this Microsoft Web site.

Bundle Input Editor should show the same set of devices in the Platforms list in the Devices panel.
You can specify a new device configuration for this target platform.

Even if you have specific device SDKs installed, you may want to set up your .cebundleinfo file so that the device-side applications can run on multiple versions of Windows Embedded CE. To do so, specify arbitrary settings on the Devices panel for a specific device configuration.
Make sure the Platform list is set to N/A, and then specify the Minimum OS Version, Maximum OS Version, and the CPU settings.

Note

The Minimum OS Version and Maximum OS Version boxes are disabled if Platform is set to anything but N/A.

For more details, see Devices Panel. For information on setting up a device configuration for a device with .NET Compact Framework support, see Requirements for .NET Compact Framework Support.

In the Devices panel, in the CPU list, click .NET.
If necessary, add a device configuration that is set up to use this configuration.
