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!

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

Visual Studio 2005 with Windows Mobile 5 SDK is nice¡¡
Hi!
Is it possible to install Windows Mobile 6 SDK with VS 2008 Trial or VS 2010 Beta 2?
When I am trying to install it I get information that it is impossible because VS 2005 SP1 or later is required?
Operating System: Vista.
Best regards,

I've got the WM6 SDK Refresh, the WM6.1.4 update and the WM6.5 DTK all running happily with VS2008. Is the WM5 SDK already installed?

No, I am just trying to install Windows Mobile 6 Professional SDK Refresh.msi. Is it possible and correct?
i'm trying to get a dev. environment set up too
just checking but are you using VS2008 standard or pro?
i think you can only code for WM in vs-pro (which SUCKS)
can anyone confirm is there's another way to do it? because i'm not paying for a professional upgrade licence
I assume you guys are using VS2008 Express = you won't be able to install Windows Mobile SDK
