Starting with Visual Studio .NET and CF

[Fernando Rowies]

Hi,

Another newby question. Thanks to not complain. ( :

Where can I get information to start programming with Visual Studio .NET and
the CF, aside of microsoft and gotdotnet sites?

I need to install Visual Studio .NET, The CF and PocketPC 2002 SDK to start?

Really thanks,
Fernando

If you install Visual Studio.NET 2003 with default options, the .NET CF and
a PocketPC emulator are part of the installation, so you don't need to
install those separately. Another valuable source of information is
www.opennetcf.org. There you can find a FAQ, sample code and ready to use
class libraries.

Hi Fernando,

If you have Visual Studio .NET, you just need to install it -- that's
enough to get the compact framework, etc. installed.

As far as learning resources, I highly recommend the Deitel "How to
Program" series. If you are wanting to learn C# or VB.NET I think
those are excellent guides if you don't have any experience with
programming.

Good luck!
Brad
