Could anyone be so kind of tell me what's the tool needed to write small and customized applications for PPC ?
i.e. : I make them for PC with Visual Basic, basically they are customized calculations to work out different values as perimeter, weight etc.
if you want visual basic you can
use
embedded visual basic
or
visual studio 2003 and do visual basic .net
if you want c# you can use visual studio .net
if you want c++ you can use embedded visual c++
the embedded visual tools are free from microsoft

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
Wow.. I started this thread since sept 23 and got a new reply now.. this is a dead thread but you revived it.. thanx for your help now im currently donwloading the SDK... Thanx
It's been years since I finished college (Passed exams with VB4 / 5) - been using VB6 for quite some time no too, recently bought an XDA2 and would like to develop some software for it to achieve a few tasks of mine - I'm not onboard the .NET boat yet (I am planning an update course at college soon to get me up to speed) - in the interim what tools can be used to develop for the PocketPC platform?
Many thanks in advance!
visual studio .net 2003 you can choose vb smart device application
not sure if it's using .net since i havent don any vb since 94 and dont plan to again
or embedded visual c++ if you can do c++ and pure win32 pocket or MFC

I studied C++ and did quite well with it at college, not used it in the 'real world' though, nor have I for quite some time! I use VB for work so I'd rather stick with that. Looks like I'd best get my derriere into .net sharpish!
Cheers.
You can use embedded VB with the Microsoft Embedded Visual Tools - obtainable here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...48-31ee-4cbe-aac5-0affd5fb27dd&displaylang=en
Applications developed with embedded VB would require runtime libraries to be installed on the device.
Of course, this has been superceded by the .NET Compact Framework model which is being pushed heavily by Microsoft.
Personally, I prefer to use embedded C++ because an awful lot of what I want to do is not supported by the .NET Compact Framework.
good day!
can anybody please tell me what to use and how to make a program for a PPC?
i just want to learn.
thanks a lot.
- Microsoft eMbedded Visual c++ 4.0 (IDE)
- Microsoft PPC 2003 SDK
Thats for c++ development. Can also do VB if you like.
A device for testing is handy as well... and some patience.
or visual studio 2003 .net if you want to do .net applications
here are some links to pocketpc code examples

Perhaps the best tool to make PPC apps is NsBasic http://www.nsbasic.com/ce/
Hello people. I see lot of you make very nice programs for ppc's, so now also want to try with it. I have experiences in programming windows application with JAVA and C# (.NET using visual studio).
But if i want to programming for windows mobile, which software do i need to use, and can anyone give me some beginner guide? I preferred to work with C# or JAVA.
Thanks in advance.
Kay.

You can use Visual Studio 2005 to develop in C#.
You can use EWE (www.ewesoft.com) to develop in Java.
You can use the (free) Microsoft C# compiler itself and compile using the GAC libraries on your device (take a look at this topic).
You can use eMbedded Visual C++ or eMbedded Visual Basic, but I think it's better to use C# if possible.
As you see, there are many choices.
If you have experience with C#, however, I suggest you to start using Visual Studio 2005 and move to the C# compiler (if you have licensing problems) after you learnt the differences between the .NET Framework and the .NET Compact Framework. This way you can benefit of a RAD environment such as Visual Studio while using your knowledge of C#.
If you want more specific information about some WM-specific features, just check the Internet. I think the most important features are the PIM (and, consequently, the Pocket Outlook Object Model also known as POOM), the Comm Manager and the SIP (Soft Input Panel... the virtual keyboard). Should you need to interact with ActiveSync you should also check the Remote API (RAPI) of Windows CE.
The MSDN Library is also a great reference if you need information about Windows Mobile API's. When you'll need to use these API's into C#, take a look at www.pinvoke.net.
Anybody can help me microsoft visual basic on my smartphone windows 6
you mean you need
1. the old embedded visual basic which run on the pc and make vb programs you can use on your device?
2. you need a vb compiler which run on the device itself?
3. you need visual studio 2005/2008 to make vb.net programs for your device?
