Hi Shamslover,

What kind of smart device application are you developing now? Can you add these Smart Device controls via "Choose Items" in the toolbox?

It seems that Smart Device development works well before the past two days, right?

Did you try the workarounds mentioned as the following (like repair SDK installation)?

Hello YiCHun,

The problem solved by deleting the .tdb files from "%TEMP%\..\Application Data\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0"( mine is XP Machine )
