REQUEST : getting started with wm5 development

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:

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!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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

Have you tried to install the 3.5 version? Cant remeber where I got it from but somewhere in here I found a link to MS's website for download. you could try upgrading.

Are you sure you downloaded the official release from MS, not from some third party site like freewareppc.com or whatever? (not disparaging that site, just pointing out possibility of corrupt file on third party site...)
Click here to download from MS themselves:

install .NET framework 2.0

Thanks
Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I already have .Net 2.0 installed. But, I realised that I have a Microsoft security patch installed for .Net 2.0 . This thing was probably automatically updated. So, I uninstalled it and volla! it wotks now

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.
Cotulla i'm thanking you too for your great rom and for your hard work to publish 3 roms in one month
I would like to help both of you too but i don't know how, maybe i can help you with your homepage, i could make it looking better, please let me know if you want this i can show you my works on homepage if you want...(write a PM)

question about compact netframe 3.5?

I have tried to install compact netframe on my HD2 but I have 3.7 on my phone and it says I have a later framework and have to unistall. Has any had experience with this? Can somone post the steps to make this happen? I would like to use cookie home tab.

If there is a newer version on your phone, in all certainty it would be backward compatible with apps that need previous versions. So AFAIK you don't need 3.5 specifically any version above 3.5 would do.

yes you do it says you need to unistall the later before installing 3.5 and cookies home tab editor does not work without it.

I just got a HD2 also
& would like to know if there is any Version of -
Microsoft .NET Compact Framework we need to install ?
Or other Must install apps
Thanks
