hello,

i have a program that we had developed for win-ce 4.1 on vb.net CF
we need to convert the program to regular vb.net to run on a win-xp system

the program is basically a gui and uses sqlce as a database

is it a lot of work to convert a program like this to be able to run on
win-xp?

thanks for any input on the subject.
 
test,

You won't be able to run SqlCE as your database for the desktop app, and
since the program is basically a GUI, you'll probably be better off just
redoing the forms using the form editor. You might be able to copy and paste
some of your code from the CE version, but starting fresh with SQL Express
and the data tools in VS 2005 might be just as fast.
 
hi Ginny,

thanks for the quick reply.
so basically we have to re-do every screen and the have the win-ce as a
reference, maybe copy paste a little bit of code.

thanks,
mischa
