A problem on WM5 Smartphone programming with C#.

[JR]

I don`t want to install VS.net 2005 on my computer. Are there any ways
to writing and compiling codes seperatlly from VS.net 2005?
I`ve write codes with notepad. How can I compile them so that I can
run on my WM5 Smartphone?
Is it the only way to write softwares with VS.net 2005 and the .NET
Compact Framework SDK?

With .NETCF v2.0 it is possible to command-line compile device applications
as the standalone .NET 2.0 SDK includes the Compact Framework bits. However
it's much easier using the tools (VS2005) if you are not familiar with this
approach.

I'm assuming the reason behind this is so that you don't have to pay
for VS. Well, with VS2003, there were ways of legitimately obtaining
the various bits and pieces to enable you to build mobile
applications, tho, the actual coding was not done in VS. Whether there
is any scope in that for VS2005 or whether VS2003 would serve your
purposes I don't know. Suggest you do a bit of googling.
