Note:
You need to have ActiveSync 4.0 or later installed on your desktop computer to be able to cradle the device. (Device Emulator Manager and the Device Emulator can work with ActiveSync 3.8, but Visual Studio 2005 only supports ActiveSync 4.0 and later).
After you cradle the emulator, ActiveSync automatically detects that a new device has been connected. The ActiveSync icon in your system tray will turn green.
-
Click OK if ActiveSync informs you that you will be able to synchronize only files, folders, and other items that Microsoft Outlook® does not use.
You can either create a Guest partnership or a Standard partnership with the Device Emulator.
-
Click Cancel when ActiveSync attempts to synchronize the emulator with your desktop computer (to retrieve Tasks, Calendar, Email, and Contacts). By clicking Cancel, you automatically set up a Guest partnership.
-
Click OK to the additional ActiveSync messages.
