Default What Language Do You Use?

While on the subject of platforms and languages. I have wondered a long, long time what language is the most commonly used when developing Pocket PC software. I am also really interested in knowing what Pocket PC Java options out there that is used! Speak up, please!

Without eVC++ programming a decent Pocket PC application is almost impossible. I haven't tested VB .Net but I can confirm eVB is totally useless!

So if anyone is planning to create a Pocket PC application I'd recommend eVC++ or J2ME (just made a few tests but its way more powerful than eVB).

Cheers!

VB.NET and C# are massively more powerful than eVB. There are still a few areas where they cannot compete with good old C++ though...

You could use the SuperWaba Java VM.

No I didn't test SuperWaba.

I did play with Jeode, but I'm not a Java guy, I only program with C++.

But I like the idea that there are more programming languages for Pocket PC.

eVC++ is the way to go. Having said that, I'm quite fond of C# on the CF in Visual Studio 2003. If only all Pocket PC's had the .netCF in ROM. :wink:
