To write a plugin for the smartphone you'll need to know some C++

Use Visual Studio 2005 (only free for 90 days)

se details here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/dev...rs/default.mspx

or Embedded Visual studio 2004 (Free)

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;displaylang=en

EVC2004 is for win mobile 2003, but applications and homescreen plugins will work on WM2005, and I guess you can write for WM5 with EVC2004, making a few modifications.

You also need the SDK's for the platform you want to write plugins for.

I would get the 2003 sdk as well as the wm2005, as the 2003 containes a sample homescreen plugin.

To write the code, use the examples from Microsoft in the SDK typically found in C:\Program Files\Windows CE Tools\wce420\SMARTPHONE 2003\Samples\Win32 , also found om MSDN:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default....ndowsmobile.asp

Use the web to find other examples of plugins, for example: http://www.virtuoffice.com/node/view/137

Use the newsgroups to find code and examples: http://groups.google.no/group/microsoft.pu...eveloper?lnk=oa

It is important to understand how Visual Studio works with mobile devices, getting the Windows Mobile Developer resource kit is a very good place to start.

Good Luck.
