tools to write applications for winembeeded

[bernd]

Hi,

which tools are recommend to write my own applications within a
windows embedded image? Are there any advantages using visual studio (c
++, c#)? If it is possible I want to write my application in one of
these c-languages (c, c++, c#)...

Which tools will be used frequently on a windows embedded?

best regards
Bernd

You can use any tools that create applications for Windows XP.
That's the major advantage of XPe over other embedded systems; that
standard Windows programs can run on it. VS is fine.

The only thing to be aware of is that the XPe image has all the
components your app needs.

that means, al application will be programmed on the windows xp
embedded platform and not on my windows xp computer for example... so
I need to installe all components to run vs2005 on the windows xp
embedded platform - right?

No. Only if you need to debug on your target. You will need to make sure
the runtime redistributables are installed, though.

I use Delphi, and the few times I have needed to debug on the target,
I used remote debugging. I don't know is VS2005 has remote debugging.
