Change target device from window mobile 5 to WM6 Professional Visual Studio 2008

VS 2008

I have developed a device application that runs on windows mobile 5.

However, I am wondering if I can now change this and deploy my application using the mobile 6 as the target device.

In visual studio I click the run button and it pops up with only window mobile 5 devices to run on.

I have also selected my project and click the drop down list box to change the target device. However, only windows mobile devices are show.

Also under 'device options' I have changed this to windows mobile 6. However, when I try and deploy I always get the windows mobile 5.

I remember that you can change the target device from mobile 5 to 6. However, I just can't remember how I did it in the past.

Most native apps compiled for Windows Mobile 5 will deploy and run without trouble on Windows Mobile 6 devices and emulators. Simply cradle your WM6 device or emulator, select Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC Device from the drop list then deploy your app.

Just right click your project and select "Change target platform". It will pop up a windows to let you select a desired platform.
