On the target machine you need the compact framework installed

On the development machine you need to have at least the professional
version of visual studio 2003
the dev environment has its own emulator so you do not even need a PDA to
develop mobile apps

So if i have only VB.NET 2003 it isn't possible to make apps for PDA??

Hi, Mrozu,
Here's a good place to start: http://msdn.microsoft.com/smartclient/understanding/netcf/gettingstarted/default.aspx. Basically, you need to create a VB Compact Framework project, and then it's very similar experience to what you'd do for desktop applications.

Hope this helps,

well afaik do not all the versions of VS support this ( i use the enterprise
architect version ) see if you can find a SmartDeviceApplication project
file , new , project , now under templates see if you can find
SmartDeviceApplication if yes select this and there you go

in 2005 you will find it under project types and then smart device
apllications

Hi,

You need Visual Studio 2003 Professional Edition or higher (not the
single-language editions), or Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition or higher
(again, not the single-language Express editions). With Visual Studio 2005
you can use the Compact Framework 2.0, which has feature support for WM 5.
