To build a custom Windows Embedded CE Stress module

In the Solution Explorer, right click on your solution name.
Choose Properties from the resulting context menu. This should bring up Property Pages for your custom solution.
From the tree-view at the left pane, navigate to Configuration Properties, then to Environment.
Click on the New... button to add a new environment variable.
In the resulting dialog, enter SYSGEN_OSTEST as the variable name and 1 as the value.
Click on the OK button to get back to the Property Pages for your custom solution.
Click on the OK button again to get back to Microsoft Visual Studio.
In the Solution Explorer, right click on your solution name and choose Rebuild to build your custom solution. This might take a while.
Once build completes, in the Solution Explorer, right click on your solution name and choose Open Release Directory in Build Window. This should open a command window (build window).
In the build window, type cd %_WINCEROOT%\private\test\stress\stress\samples\simpledll to change to the directory containing sample stress module source code.
Type build -c at the command prompt to build the sample module. If this is successful, make a copy of the sample directory and use it as a template to develop your custom stress module.
