Visual C++ .Net Standard + Windows Mobile 5 SDK

[Guest hyperweb]

Hi! I'm new here. I have a question. If i have Visual C++.NET installed on my PC, is it possible for me to to develop Windows Mobile 5 application for smartphones by just installing the 'windows mobile 5 sdk' ? Or must i get Visual Studio ?

yes you can do that as long as you have the SDK installed

Do you mean Visual C++ enterprise edition, that you can download for free off the microsoft website?

With just that, you can't.

To develop for smartphones you'll need Visual Studio 2005 standard or professional edition + the sdk (or Visual Studio .net 2003 professional edition but that can't do WM5).
