visual developer 2003. - Windows Mobile Software Development

anyone got any views whether its worth buying visual developer 2003 for developing pocket pc apps?
would an application built with it require installing a bunch of .net framework dlls onto the pocket pc?

.net for Windows CE ?

I have just started developing some applications for my PDA in C# :shock: - does anyone know where I can get hold of the .net framework for CE :?:
it comes with microsoft .net enterprise edition, but thatll cost u $1500+
im pretty sure you can download it from microsoft, but im not sure if youll get the fancy developement environment youll get if u get it with enterprise edition
enterprise edition also comes with emulators so you can test it on a pc before running it on the pda
hope this helps

I do have Visual Studio.Net and had the framework. Here is the link to information on it:

if you have Visual Studio .NET 2003, then you will have the fancy development tools and it's almost normal coding as if you are coding for Windows PC based program
ms have a prog called microsoft eMbedded visual c++

How to start programming apps for WM Smartphones

Hi, I'm an experienced developer (C,C++,C#,Delphi,Java) and I did some stuff with XNA Studio with Visual Studio Express 2008.
What exactly do I need to start developing apps/games for windows mobile smartphones?
Sorry I tried the search but I'm not able to find anything useful, maybe I used the wrong keywords.
Decide what to use! For Windows Mobile you can use C/C++, .Net ( "Compact Framework" ), FreePascal (as you mention Delphi - this is my own favorite), I think there is even a VB for WM.
For C/C++ you will need to get the Windows Mobile SDK, this is available from Microsoft. API is very much like "slimmed down" Win32 API. For .Net, Google "Compact Framework", or ".Net CF SDK" or something similar.
I am not completely sure, but I think you will need commercial version of Visual Studio. As I recall, "express" / free version does not support WinCE / WM compilation (this is probably why you did not find the option to compile for Windows Mobile)
Good luck!
Thanks! I have both Visual Studio 2008 (non express too) and Rad Studio 2009 (delphi 2009) ...
As I want to get into game development, I'd like to have access to the full power of the phone Using Visual Studio with the SDK might be better, because as I've read it comes with a WM6 emulator...
Any ideas on where I can find tutorials, to display graphics on the phone?
I program using VS08 and the SDK with VB. Not doing anything fancy at the moment, but it does come with an emulator. I haven't figured out how to actually deply it on to the device yet tho.
When you deploy or debug the application it should usually give the option to deploy to a device or emulator. The device of course needs to be connected to ActiveSync.
Also theres a port of QT to Windows Mobile, which seems to work but far more tricky to set up and get working that just using .NET CF it seems

i want to programming c++ at HD2

hi everyone
i want to programming c++ at HD2
I found in market a programm "esql" and it is for DB it very nice
but I need one for c++
can I find any program for this ??
no one can help me??!!
up
Your best bet:
Visual Studio 2008
Windows Mobile Professional SDK
ActiveSync / Windows Mobile Device Center.
Free alternative is Embedded Visual C++,but IMHO it needs much more experiences with object programming,but if you understand the principle,it is also good to develop something. Actually,it is designed for old WM2003,but apps developed there are working also under newest WM versions. Additionally to evC++ you do need WM 6.1 SDK with emulators and latest ServicePack for evC++.
Main problem there is,that the emulator for WM5+ doesn't work directly with evC++ and it cannot connect to the device directly via ActiveSync(because since WM5 it is using TCP/IP communication instead of regular serial as before). However,these are minor problems.

Do you have to learn it?
Thank you again
Depending on what you're planning to create, or make mods for, you may need certain SDK Libraries.
But honestly, I won't be able to help you much with these. I develop Software for Windows, not Windows Mobile [BIG differences].

Depending on which programming language you prefer.
Basic,C,C++,C#,Pascal?
You could choose Basic4PPC or Lazarus or some native MS stuff.
I am using actually old embedded Visual C++ 4.0 SP3 with PocketPC 2003 SDK and everything works also on WM653. In addition I use WM 6.1 emulator,but it is not necessary.
you could do worse than go to www.ppl-lang.com
Pocket programming language is an easy to learnn WM5/6/6.1/6.5 compiler that can create windowed apps and games.
V1.60 is completely free or you can purchase V2 with loads of extra libraries for in game physics, databases etc. It also compiles Windows apps too.
I have been using this for the last 3 years almost and have created many fine windows mobile apps.
Check it out.
