If you are using any of the Microsoft Visual Studio Express editions to build our services, you will see an error when you open the solution similar to this:
---------------------------Microsoft Visual C# 2005 Express Edition---------------------------The project file 'C:\Microsoft Robotics Studio (1.5)\samples\Platforms\RoboticsConnection\SerializerServices\cf.SerializerServices.csproj' cannot be opened.
The project type is not supported by this installation.---------------------------OK Cancel Help ---------------------------
The Visual Studio Express editions do not support the Compact Framework projects. However, you can simply exclude these projects from the solution, and happily build and run the serivces on the desktop.
Best Regards,
