coding under Compact Framework with VS.NET 2002

[fc]

I do not have Visual Studio .NET 2003 yet, I'm still on
2002. How can I write an app in C# for the PocketPC2002
using the Compact Framework without waiting for VS.NET
2003?

You can't, at least not with the full Visual Studio Experience, because you
need VS.NET 2003 for that. There is an alternative, see
http://dotnetdn.com/without-visual-studio/, but I don't know if you want to
go that path (I personally would advise upgrading to VS.NET 2003).

Hi,

I think you can't write pocket pc applications using C# in VS.NET as it does
not have the smart device extensions.

This article which discusses how to develop .NET Compact Framework
applications without VS.NET 2003 might be useful to u
http://dotnetdn.com/without-visual-studio/

Girish.

Hi,


For developing on the Compact Framework,
does it matter which version of Visual Studio 2003 you do have ?
(ie. .NET Enterprise Developer, Enterprise Architect or Professional ?)


Thanks,

Swan

You need at least Visual Studio.NET 2003 professional. The single language
versions C# and VB.NET do not support smart device development.
