I figured it out.

I am trying to develop a CE 5.0 application using VS 2005 and a WinCE emulator, so that I don't have to constantly download to the target.
I have followed the instructions given in this MSDN post
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/microsoftdeviceemu/thread/c10f14cd-c892-4d41-b3cf-26a08dc81804
The PC that I am using for development runs Windows Vista and I could not get PB to run properly. Eventually I installed PB on a PC running XP and managed to build an SDK using the DeviceEmulator BSP as per the above mentioned MSDN post. Fine.
Copied the SDK to the Vista development PC and ran the install. VS 2005 does not show the new device in Tools/Options/Device Tools/Devices as expected. The only devices shown are still the default ones included with VS2005 ie. Pocket PC2003. Smartphone 2003 etc.
I have also tried installing other SDKs that I have used on other projects, which provided a CE emulation and these do not appear as selectable options either.
So, how do I install these SDKs so that they provide me with new target devices? How do I make thme appear as options in Configuration Manager? Is there something wrong with my PB build? Or is it the install process? I do not understand where VS2005 looks to build it's table of possible Deployment devices. I have folowed the instructions shown on MSDN post, and implies the new device should just appear after the SDK install. No special instructions on install.... but clearly this has not happened in my case.
Any help please?

To install the SDK on Vista, you can try disabling the UAC (User Access Control) then install the SDK. Some installations on Vista silently fails due to UAC.

Thanks.... that got me round that problem and into another one! But I think I can progress now. Once again, thanks for that.

Vista does not support ActiveSync anymore (which is the stuff that connects to your device emulator). In vista you should have 'mobile device center'. This is normally downloaded and setup the first time you connect a REAL mobile device through the USB port, but in your case, you'll have to download it manually from MS. Once mobile device center runs, you should find 'connection settings' somewhere in it, and you should then set it to connect to DMA. Your emulator will then be able to connect.

The problem I now have is this.... first after new SDK is installed, under Tools/Options/Device Tools/Devices in VS, my new Platform is visible, but under Devices there is only Microsoft DeviceEmulator:ARMV4I_Release, and not "My_Device_Emulator" as suggested by the MSDN instructions. ie, not the device that I named in the SDK.
However, in Configuration Manager "My_Device"(ARMV4I) comes up as an option for Solution Platform. So with this selected in a Debug configuration, the project builds, but then gets an unspecified deployment error.
I have downloaded Windows Mobile Device Center as Michel has suggested, and set to DMA. MDC shows "Not Connected" at the bottom left, and deployment still does not work when attempting to run in debug.
Please note... all I want to do is build and run my program in a small window emulating the target device. I will not be connecting any real device to the Vista PC.
Any help?

I know. This mobile device center thing is a piece of crap. It doesn't work for me half of the time.
What I usually do is reboot the whole PC, and make an attempt to connect. There seems to be a particular order of connection that does the trick. Note that you don't need visual studio for testing this. just start the emulator from the emulator manager, and try connecting. I find it helps if mobile device center is already started when you start the emulator. Otherwise, it's trial and error, and rebooting the PC lots of times...
Oh, if you find a reliable way of doing this, be sure to post it

You can create a CAB file which is the WinCE equivalent of a setup file.
Take a look at "Setup and Deployment" projects in VStudio.

A background application is just an application which does not display any user interface on Windows CE. (Applications keep running until they execute an exit, or are forcibly cancelled by the user). So if you don't display anything, you're a background application.
To pop up a message, best practice is to display an icon and a message balloon in the title bar (SHNotificationAdd)

Just install the mobile sdk, and in visual studio, select 'smart device project'. this will create a project with an intial form. Just don't display the form in your code.

Take a look at OpenNETCF or Smart Device Framework (http://www.opennetcf.com/[^]).
API OpenNETCF.ToolHelp.ProcessEntry.GetProcesses() returns an array of ProcessEntry. This is a list of all running processes.
