What is the very basic programming in making applications to wm2003? like visualbasic 6.0 in the PC in there visual basic for pocket pc? Thanks Where can i get it?
there is visual studio 2003 .net
Hi,
I have started to code quite a bit for Windows Mobile 2003 and have not looked back )
You can try several different routes, the easiest and least expensive is to download the Micrsoft WM2003 SDK from their site (easier to do a google search for Windows Mobile 2003 SDK). You will need to download the SDK(s) as well as either eVB or eVC (eVB is your best option as its very similar to Visual Basic), however these tools are still quite 'hardcore' and require a fair amount of investment from you.
In addition to eVB you can try AppForge for Visual Basic 6.0 which plug's into VB6 and allows you create feature rich WM2003 applications, AppForge also installs a Booster tool on your Pocket PC device which greatly enhances he speed of the the VB apps.
The best route in my opinion is to download the Visual Studio 2005 Express Beta tools. Microsoft took Visual Studio.NET 2003 and updated allot of the tool sets, added more Mobile Device support and split up the different modules (so you will have to download what you need, i.e VB.NET Express). If you have the money you can fork out for the professional version of Visual Studio.NET 2003 which includes fulll support of Pocket PC/Windows Mobile 2003 & Smartphone devices (some through the download of the correct SDK, VS.NET can use emulators to run apps through the IDE without the need for a physical device docked with the main host).
Finally, to imporve your VB.NET coding experience and make the job of developing Pocket PC/Windows Mible 2003 apps, you can purchase (download available) a copy of AppForge CrossFire for .NET which allows you to use the Visual Studio.NET Visual Basic or C# languages.
Personally, I code nearly all of my Pocket PC apps in Visual Studio.NET 2003 using the C# lnaguage (I an one of the rare people who love C proramming)..
Cheers,
Taz

Hello,
I want to develop a GPS application for the for O2 Xda orbit with Visual Studio 2005 and C#, but unfortunately I am not sure what kind of category this device belongs to. It could be a smartphone, but also a pocket pc with phone functionality.
Which device from the Windows Mobile 6 SDK is most suitable to emulate the Xda Orbit?
Thanks in advance!
If you want to develop with c# .NET you have to select Visual C# -> Mobile Device -> Windows CE 5.0 or higher
in my Visual Studio i can choose between Pocket PC 2003, Smartphone 2003 and Windows CE 5.0
but if you have updated your XDA with Windows Mobile 6 you can download the SDK of Windows Mobile 6 from Microsoft.. so you can exactly develop for 6.0 Platform
The Sony Ericsson Beta SDK for Windows Mobile® 6.1 is a set of tools, plug-ins and documentation that allows you to develop and test Xperia™ Native Panels, Xperia Web (HTML) Panels and applications for Windows Mobile 6.1 for Xperia X1 phone.
The Microsoft® Visual Studio® IDE Plug-in allows you to develop and debug Xperia Panels that run on the Xperia X1 phone using the included Xperia X1 Device Emulator. The SDK release v1.0.4 adds compatibility with Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional development environment and Microsoft Windows Vista® OS.
Xperia Panels are Windows Mobile applications that extend the Today Screen API in order to provide a Full Screen immersive experience. Developers can create Xperia Panels for the Xperia X1 phone using the Sony Ericsson Beta SDK for Windows Mobile 6.1.

Quite old news really.
Hi all,
yesterday I read that the new windows CE 7 Version is released.
Is it possible to use this instead of the "normal" smartphone windows CE?
Windows CE is not a ready to use operating system. It is a collection of system modules. A device developer can choose individual components to build a special platform/firmware like Windows Mobile, Handheld PC or software for cash dispensers, set top boxes, coffee machines...
Windows Phone 7, Windows Embedded Handheld 7 and Windows Embedded Automotive 7 are reference platforms from Microsoft based on Windows Embedded Compact 7.0.
OK, so it seems that is possible that rom chefs can use these modules to include benefits like IE7 etc. in the customs roms.
This is not so easy. There are too many dependencies between the individual modules/components. The Internet Explorer 7 could use, for example, the new security subsystem. But this security subsystem is based in a core library that you can not replace.
Besides, the IE7 for Mobile is not included in Windows CE 7.0. For Windows Mobile/Windows Phone you need a different development environment (Adaptation Kit) which is not available to the general public.
