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,

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

Perhaps the best tool to make PPC apps is NsBasic http://www.nsbasic.com/ce/
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
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?
Ei, Anybody now what programs do programmer used to make softwares for windows mobile or for xda phones? like for example nokia its java..

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thnx bro. for the reply... Is there any other compiler/programs?
maybe you should look at mono not sure if they do compactframework too though
check it out
or embedded visual c++
or gcc compiler
all are free
or you could make java midlets like on symbian but they are a bit limited in the midlet managers on ppc though
