can anyone point me in the direction of some help or a guide to getting started with wm5 dev ?
just looking for a "hello world" level walk through at the moment.
thanks in advance.
WM5 Dev
Get hold of Visual Studio .NET 2005 and examine the example programs Goodluck!
do i need to install the dotnet framework on wm5 or is it built-in ?
cheers
You need Active Sync 4 during development. You may wish to run the sample program in your WM5 device OR using a WM5 emulator. If you chose to run it on your device, cradle your device and VS.NET 2005 will install .NET compact framework on your device before it attempts to run your sample program using your device
thanks for taking the time to answer. i would have thought that the dotnet framework would have been built-in with wm5.
no-one likes to have to install extra programs to get an app to work.
I am not sure with the "newer" WM5 devices out there. I have an XDA II with the first leaked WM5 ROM and it does not have the latest .NET CF...
If you have a WM5 device, verify the .NET CF version you have by running: \Windows\cgautil.exe
i have 1.0.4292.00 installed on my wizard.
how does this compare to dotnet v1.1 or v2 ?
cheers.
I guess it is not the latest version. VS.NET 2005 needs CF v2 in order for programs to run properly.
Hi there.
I'm planning on embarking on PPC development journey as well.
Yet to get hold of VS.NET.
I was just wondering, if anyone would know how the app in the link works:
http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=338
Does it link to the registry, etc?
It obviously does not work on WM5, and I would appreciate if anyone could gimme a headstart on working one for WM5.
Thanks!

You can develop .net CF 1.0 applications in VS.NET 2005. Then you don't need to install the .net CF 2.0 on the device. There are some handy things that's missing in 1.0, but almost everything can be done... just not as easy as in 2.0

Hi,
Just want to check, does anyone successfully install .NET Compact Framework v2.0 on magician with WM2003 SE?
If I am not wrong, WM2003 SE already have .NET Compact Framework v1.0 on its ROM. How we can install v2.0 over it? Does it redundance (consider its big in size for the framework, v1.0 and v2.0 installed on magician).
Can someone please clarify this.
Thx.
Regards,
Arto.
Hi Artosoft,
Yes I got .net 2 on my magician. Got no prob. at all installing it. Didn't made a big diff. in ram occupation too ::
Install was the usual: download from M$ & start the installation program.
Clear enough? Or did you had any problem in installing it?
Cheers, M

Arto,
I must apologize for my answer. I appear to have .net 1 sp3 :-(
installed. Will look for .net 2
I noticed your tag ;-) before.
Cheers, M
Hi Arto,
I couldn't resist & installed .net 2 in main memory. It will install there anyway it's too smart to fake. & it just added a measly 3.5MB to my windows folder :twisted: So I'm very pleased with this result :-( Well I'm uo-to-date & will move some of those files over to my BS.
Installing is no point, but the space it consumes...man I must find the time to build my own CE image.
M
actually from where we can get those .net?
and how to check it what .net do we have in our magician(O2 mini)
because yesterday i try to install soe application and it said that my computer has the later version..bla...bla
so i can't install the program that i wished to be installed in my O2 mini.
plz need help
You can find .net compact sp3 and .net compact 2 here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/downloads/updates/default.aspx
On your magician .net 1 is preinstalled, at least with the newer roms.

Hi all,
I just bought an O2 XDA(ii). Regarding software development, what compiler is needed? I have Visual Studio 2003 and 2005, but isn't some sort of cross compiler needed for Windows Mobile?
Also, can the the .NET compact framework be installed on Windows Mobile? If so, will a Windows .NET app run on it?
Sorry for the basic questions, but one has to start somewhere!!
Thanks

In order to develop applications for pocket pcs, you need to download the sdks from Microsoft.
With VS2005 you can create .Net applications for pocket pcs and test them on an emulator or on the device directly.
There is a .Net framework installed on WM2005 pocket pcs.

Excellent - thanks!
There is a fairly simple problem that seems to be just beyond the grasp of the non-developers/chefs amongst us. We are trying to work out how to uninstall .NET Compact Framework 2 SP2 from our ROMS so that we can install v3.5 which speeds up the phones software by approx 20%. (A much greater increase in efficiency than any upgraded ROM with new WM6 build could offer). Please could someone with the know-how take a look at the following thread and provide some insight:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=347537
Much appreciated.
if you can just install the newer .net then it should be used for all .net related software
of cause it will take up space in the mem not being in the rom and all
If you do this, it doesnt provide the increase in speed in apps. Also many programs do only still see version 2 sp2.
it dont matter what .net version it use
the latests framework installed will always handle all .net
stuff
which is why that people who have .net3.5 and not .net2 can still
run .net2 applications or .net1.1
If you install Schaps Advanced Config tool it tell you which .NET version is installed. If you install v3.5 it does not change from saying 2.0.7450.0 or something like that.

Hey, you will need to install sqlceserver 3.5 also (http://scilor.funpic.de/fuelblaster.html just download the sql fix from fuelblaster and install the 3 cabs, if it still doesnt works, try to set your .net framework to 3.5 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2850119 bottom (netcfcfg.cab)))
you may also reinstall .net framework 3.5
yes, SQLCEServer not included into my ROM. You need install it separately.
thanks for your help scilor and for the nice program too. it works now and it will help me a lot now.

Before we start, is your HTC Genuine?
Your phone is Windows Mobile 6.0 or 6.1?
.NET CF 3.5 shouldnt show up in your programs as it is something like Adobe Flash, when the program needs it, than it will run.
If you above answers is a yes, you can flash to one of the ROMS here like Onyx 4.7 or SX.
