[newbie] Smart device development

[Guest]

Hi,

this is my first try to develop an application targeting a Pocket PC - but
some really newbie questions are still unsolved for me

- Is there any difference between Windows Mobile (SE) 2003 and Win CE?
- Is it possible to simulate a ActiveSync event (pocket pc plugged into
docking station) with the emulator services that are included in vs.net 2003?
- Are there any special resources for this type of development on any web
site you'd recommend?

thanks
Peter

Hi Peter,

A good resource is Mike Hall's blog:

http://blogs.msdn.com/mikehall

There are also a bunch of other Microsoft mobile bloggers at:

http://blogs.msdn.com

You'll want to check out these newsgroups for your answers:

microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.compactframework
microsoft.public.pocketpc.developer

There is a ton of information there and you'll receive fast answers to your
questions. Good luck! Ken.

There are no service packs for Visual Studio .NET 2003, just the Service
Pack 1 for the .NET Framework v1.1, as others have already told you.
Excellent name choice, BTW

Peter,


Not that you are not welcome here, however there is an active newsgroup for
pocket pc development.

microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.compactframework

I have the idea that you can get in that newsgroups more answers about your
subject.

I hope this helps a little bit
