[WinCE | VS2008 | Solution] VS2008 building WinCE projects taking a long time

1. Open C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\Microsoft.CompactFramework.Common.targets

2. Find paragraph:

<Target
Name="PlatformVerificationTask">
<PlatformVerificationTask
PlatformFamilyName="$(PlatformFamilyName)"
...
</Target>

3. Change one line as below, thus disabling platform verification:

<Target
Name="PlatformVerificationTask" Condition="0==1">
<PlatformVerificationTask
PlatformFamilyName="$(PlatformFamilyName)"
...
</Target>

4. Restart VS2008. Problem solved
