VS2005 - Remote Tools via network



While developing Windows CE applications it is useful to access the device with the Remote Tools available in VS2005. Accessing these via a network connection works well but can be finicky to setup.

These include:
  • File Viewer
  • Heap Walker
  • Zoom
  • Process Viewer
  • Registry Editor
  • System Information
  • Performance Monitor
  • Spy
  • Kernel Tracker
  • Call Profiler


You need to configure the connection for TCP/IP and a Manual Server.

















You should see this screen. Copy the command line information.













Paste this into a telnet window.

N.B. This example is incorrect as the port number was changed from 2095 to 2814. You must use the correct port number, which changes each time.

Clicking OK should result in a "Success" wave file being played.

And after that whatever tool you started will start.

Problem Diagnosis:

  1. verify IP address is set correctly
  2. verify that you start CEMGR correctly each time
