Pocket PC Forum / Developers / VB for WinCE / May 2009Developing for IPAQ - Newbie
My lab has several IPAQ H3970's which we'd like to put to good use. They have Pocket PC 2002, which I take to be a variety of Windows CE 3.0. What is the best way to develop (simple) software for this thing? (In VB or any other language.) I have access to all of the .NET versions of Visual Studio, and also VB6. I've read about a Microsoft product called "Windows CE: eMbedded Visual Tools 3.0" but don't know where to get it. Recommendations welcome! Hi, eVB 3.0 is deprecated (no longer available, nor supported). I do not know of any source for it (I still have a copy, though I have not used it in over five years). eVB never was truely satisfactory, though there were a lot of applications written using it! Your best route is to use Visual Studio .NET Professional Edition or higher. You will be limited to using the Compact Framework 1.0, which is the only one supported on PPC 2002. You would download the PPC SDK, etc., http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=a5a02311-194b-4c00-b445 -f92bec03032f&displaylang=en. The details for its use are there, and there are a number of examples that can be downloaded for it. You also can ask questions here, though the hardware you are targeting makes me think that you should consider newer. New hardware, with the Compact Framework 2.0 (Visual Studio 2005 or later) would be a better choice, certainly it would perform much better.

The situation is that we have the hardware (quite a few IPAQs) and are looking for ways to experiment with it and put it to some use. |
