Debug WM 6.5 application without ActiveSync connection

Question

Is there a way to debug my application (running on Windows Mobile 6.5, deployed on Visual Studio 2005) without ActiveSync?

I want to go through some connection problems and with the ActiveSync-connection always enabled, I can't really test the WLAN and/or GPRS-module with my application.

I tried disabling the USB-connection in ActiveSync, but then Visual Studio cannot connect to my device and I am not able to debug my project. (It does disable the connection on my device though).

Am i missing some settings I can change on my device and/or ActiveSync?

Answer 1

It seems that it is not possible to do this when you are trying to debug over WWAN/GPRS.

But it works if you connect your device to your office network/the network you are also developing with, see Debugging Visual Studio applications with no ActiveSync support.

Note: this may not work with all devices running WM6.5, in my case this was a Psion EP10 and it worked.
