Guest removed-14 Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Hi all I'm a casual VB and VB.Net developer for PC's but would like to try developing some apps for Pocket PC/Smartphones. Where do i start? I have Visual Studio 2003 but ive read i need some other SDKs or even Visual Studio 2005 for WM5 development? I played with eVB a while back which was very easy to use but it seems to have gone! Any suggestions welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest palewar Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 Hit File > New Project in your VS and if you see option for Smart Device Project there you can begin developing applications for Pocket PC and Window Mobile Smartphones. You can download Pocket PC 2003 SDK free from Microsoft and also other related stuff like emulator and skins etc. You can easily develop applications for Pocket PC using vb.net and don't worry you can even develop applicatiosn for windows mobile 5.0 using VS2003. VS 2005 will make job easier for you, but there is nothing to stop you from developing in VS 2003. Cheers!! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tech Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 yeh you need the .NET CF installed on the mobile device, with WM2003SE .NET CF 1.1 is already installed, as with WM5 devices, depending on the device, you can deploy .NET CF 2.0 you also need to install the Smartphone/Pocket PC SDK. Once done, open vs.net and file > new project and select the mobile device ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
