Trying to determine if I can use C# to write programs to run on the latest
version of the PocketPC. The website isn't clear, at least to me. At one
point they talk about using embedded VC++ or embedded VB, then they say they
are dropping support fo eVB. Another part actually gives an example in C#.
Any info will help....even a direction to a more appropriate place to ask
this. Thanks
 
There is a compact framework for the Pocket PC. With it, you can develop
programs for the Pocket PC. Some models (like the Viewsonic V37) come with
the Framework installed. For others, simply deploy the program and it will
deploy the compact framework.

Hi. I am actually using C# right now to write a PPC application that runs on
the 2003 PPC emulator. I am using Visual Studio .NET 2003 for development
purposes. Was that your question Bob?..
 
Sure. You can use the compact framework to write applications, and you can
even debug them from your desktop while you run them on the device. VS2003
includes project templates for compact framework projects.

It's fairly similar to writing windows forms programs for the desktop,
except that the forms are smaller, the controls are different, and the
frameworks aren't quite as complete.

The website says eVB is being dropped because you can now use VB.NET with
the compact framework. At least, I think that's why it says that.
