Noob beginner's guide to Visual Studio 2005?

[Guest jakobdam]

Hey -

I've decided to try and learn to develop som stuff for the Windows Mobile 2003SE.

I've installed Visual Studio 2005 (beta2), and Smartphone 2003 SDK.

But - I'm lost.

I really miss a true beginner's guide, as the only preferences I have, are PHP coding, some programming in Borland Pascal and a bit of java midlets... I've also tried Macromedia Flash / ActionScript and Director / Lingo. But then it ends.

I open Visual Studio 2005, and -- then what?

I hope someone have a link.

I've tried to surf the Microsoft website, but to me it seems like you need some experience to get something out of the articles. Well, maybe I should look closer...

What I miss is a simple tutorial - showing me how I make a "Hello World" application for i.e. my SPV C500. ;)

Edit

I've made some progress - I've now created a .exe file that says "Hello World". Well, it only does so in the "About" box, and I have no clue what's going on... :D

PM me if you're still interested in this stuff, I'll think of something...

My Visual Studio has never been out of the box ;)

I never have the time to learn ;)

Thanks a lot for the offer ! ;) - In the meantime, I went a bit nuts, and I'm currently focusing on developing my j2me midlet and PHP skills instead...

The few simple games in J2ME I've made can be found for download here:

Not much to tell - only "RainPhone" and "CarShooter" are finished.

create a NEW mobile device project in VB.NET or C#

then create a menu. double click it

then type in what you want like:

MessageBox.Show("hi");

there are TONS of resources online, google, MSDN and your local MSDN help file.

I learned via a book from www.wrox.com, they start right at the beginning and are really easy to read.

If you don't want to fork out for a book you can just download their sample codes that go with the book to see how things work.

Try these C# code samples.
