Developing on Windows CE (Compact Framework)

Hi all,

I’m developing an application for windows ce 5 using vb.net - vs2005. The problem I’m having is its too damn slow to debug. 90% of my time is spent deploying my application to a ce device.

So my question is, is there an easier way of developing windows ce applications (compact framework). I.e. is there a way of running the application on my machine to get most of the foundation work done, then deploy to a ce device ?

Is there a standard practice anyone has experience with ?

Thanks in advance,
K.
