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
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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=21786&highlight=today+plugin
Perhaps the best tool to make PPC apps is NsBasic http://www.nsbasic.com/ce/

Hi,
i'm not a developer but i can say that Java J2ME is not very used on pocketpc platform (many PPC do not even have any java support). If you wanna develop managed code then go for .Net (vb or c#) or you can make native applications in c++. The problem is you'll need to buy MS Visual Studio (unluckily, the free Visual Studio Express doesn't support mobile devices). AFAIK
Bye
try using search for J2ME
you'll find tons of posts about it
most likely an url to where you can download the wm too
hi
i was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of some decent but free development tools for wm5
thanks
embedded visual c++
you can also get free compilers like gcc and a .net compiler which run on the pocketpc itself
but it's hardly en ide
Depends on what language you want to code. For instance I couldn't find a decent assembly IDE yet (free or not). For C++/C# (managed and unmanaged) VS2005 is probably still the best. And the epxress versions can be obtained for free. Integration of embedded stuff would have to be done manually, I guess.
well i prefer programming in c/c++ so are there any free tools/IDEs for it?
don't i have to pay for embedded vc++ or is there a free version that lets me program for wm5?
oh and i downloaded the express c++ but when i want to instal the wm5 sdk it tells me it needs visual studio 2005
PSPad is awsome, and free.
Regards,
Jason
hey thanks for the reply but that's not for windows mobile 5 development
i really need something free for windows mobile 5 development
if anyone could help i would appreciate it
thanks
Ok little clarification:
a) You don't need WM5 SDK to develop apps that will run on WM5 and use its special features. You will just have to work a little harder and use LoadLibrary and GetProcAdress for functions not supported in WM2003. Also you can manually unpack the SDK installation and use the binaries and header files (this is VJ's advice I have yet to test it).
b) There is no version of eVC for WM5 because MS switched to Visual Studio. The express version does not support mobile development in any way. I always use eVC 4 this not only works fine for WM5 apps but also insures backward compatibility and saves me keeping two separate projects for one app.
I agree with levenum, as ever.
You don't NEED VS2005 if you're only developing in C++ (which you should be). I don't think VS2005 offers enough over EVC for me to spend a gazillion $$ on it as a hobby programmer. However, you can get VS2005 on trial for free from MS if you feel the need to try it out.
Also - EVC only requires a small number of mbs of space (great to stick on a USB). VS2005 is > 1gb from memory

thank you for your replies
i will do as you suggested
thanks
one last question:
does anyone know if there is an SDL sdk for wm5?

Hi,
There is an open source IDE for .net that supports (v2.2.1 only) the compact framework 2.0 : http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/.
I'm using it for windows coding and it's a very good soft.

So I'm interested in trying to create an application for my Windows Mobile device, a tilt. It doens't have to be anything grand, for that matter a simple calculator will sufice..
Is there a noob guide for dummies that would kind of spell out the process of building the app then deploying the app to my phone?
Anyone have some source code they would be willing to share?
I'm familiar with VB but not vb.net, I have vb.net 2002 available but worry it's too outdated???
I'm hoping you guy's can shed some light on some start to finish guidelines.
Thanks.
TW,
I'm quite interested in this question too
I'm using Visual Studio 2008 + C#, works great.
I do not like VB (anymore), but I think it's worth upgrading, 2002 -> 2008, there've been new .NET versions and so on ... I'd use a newer version.
Visual Studio 2005 + VB.NET over here. Works great. Though I'd like to upgrade to .NETCF 3.5 asap.
Please use the search, this question has been asked several (or a lot of) times before.
Hey I program with VB.Net over Visual Studio 2005
You will need an additional SDK for your phone too:
for wm6 you find it here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...3a-a651-4745-88ef-3d48091a390b&displaylang=en
then you can select it when you create a new project, see here

Rhapsody, any links that you could provide? are you referring to creating/compiling an app for WM6 or the golf application?
Anyone have some basic source they might like to provide? something with GPS using the "GPS Intermediate Driver" would be excellent... it sure would help to get the ball rolling.

The MSDN is what you need.
http://www.msdn.com (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/nl-nl/library/bb847935(en-us).aspx)

The MSDN contains tons of information and a lot of quick start samples as well.
Thanks for the replies guys.
I'm a little confused on the different software packages that Micrsoft has available, .NET and Visual Studio, Professional, Team, etc...
Does Visual Studio 2005 include all that is needed? What's the difference between VS 2005 and VS 2008?
Thanks,
[EDIT]
I wanted to post back with a link I found for anyone else interested - hxxp://www.devx.com/wireless/Article/31198 it's a good article on creating setup files for your mobile device. If I can find something in VB with regard to GPS positioning and VS 2005 I think I've got a start...

Yup i had the same issue, I couln't find a place where it was clearly mentioned what was needed and how to start.
Then I came across this program : basic4ppc
It's easy and not too expensive, they have a trial version available
the only drawback to the trial vesion you can only simulate the program, exporting to exe file doesn't work, you'll have to buy the program.
I liked it so much I bought it
cool, giving it a go now

Get Visual studio 2008, you can actually get visual studio 2008 professional for free if you are a student, mainly in the US, but also abroad... check the microsoft vs 2008 website, cant remember the link
The other free version, visual studio 2008 express is useless to you since it will not do pocketpc/smartphone development
Or you can get a trial copy of VS 2008
Once you have it., you can create a new project, and you can select the pocketpc/smartphone type and you will be off to development land....
