What is necessary for WM5.0 development?

[jedirunner]

I am using Visual Studio.Net 2003 right now and the Pocket PC sdk.

Soon, I'd like to switch to Visual Studio 2005 and target Windows
Mobile 5.0 (for Pocket PCs).

What edition of Visual Studio 2005 will be necessary to do this? Can I
use Express? Is one of the higher versions necessary?

Will I need to download a Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK? Or is programming
for devices finally included in Visual Studio installation?

I have 2005 Beta 2 (not installed yet) and C# Express (not installed
yet). If I need a SDK for Windows Mobile, can anyone provide a link to
it?

Thanks very much,

Kevin

The minimum is the "Standard" edition of VS 2005 will allow you to develop
for devices.

jedirunner,

You do need the WM5 SDK in addition to VS 2005 standard or above. The other
SDKs are already included.

Thanks Alex and Ginny!
