Hello NG,

I have a HTC Touch Pro, whith a resolution of 480x640.
How can I set up a Project in VS2008 to suport a divice like this?

All I can find is "Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC SDK" which has a resolution
of 240 x 320

Simply because a HTC Touch Pro is a Windows Mobile 6.1 device.
Install the Windows Mobile 6 SDK, or simply select that it is a Windows
Mobile 6 device you have.
 
how can I install the Windows Mobile 6 SDK to VS2008. Is there a installer
available?
Or if not is there a link on how to do this?

Hi,
You can install the WM 6 SDK to access specific features that are only
available with WM6 devices, like playing sounds, but it has nothing to do
with your first question.

When running your app on a VGA device, you can choose to have your forms
scaling to the higher-resolution, i.e., objects keep the same size like on
QVGA devices but are much better defined, or you can choose to explore the
higher resolution to have 4 times the area of a QVGA device. This behavior
is controlled with the form's AutoScaleMode property, choose 'None' to take
advantage of the hi-res, or 'Dpi' to scale the controls.

Besides this property, you can also use the docking and anchoring properties
on controls to have their location and size be adjusted automatically.

Anyway, here are the links for the SDK:

You have different emulators for different screen resolutions, but you only
have one SDK and one project type for all different resolutions, of the same
platform which is great. Try the AutoScaleMode as I suggested you in the
other reply to see if is what you are looking for.

Based on that Alberto, if you are talking about debugging on an actual
device as opposed to an emulator. You don't even need WM 6.0 SDK installed.
There is little difference between WM6.0 SDK and WM5.0 SDK and you can
select WM5.0 SDK in VS to deploy to a WM6.0 device - if you wanted to
