C# + VS.NET 2002 + <insert missing link here> to develop for PPC2002/03?

Hi folks.

i've got VS.NET 2002. love it. i've got some stuff done already in my C# class library.

what do i need to download from the MS site in order to develop for my PPC 2002 (and i assume 2003), to use VS.NET and my C# code / class libraries?

You need VS.NET 2003 which includes support for mobile devices.

I think they offer a cheap upgrade to the same version.

For Windows Mobile 2003 you will also need the SDK from www.pocketpc.com.

what about eMbedded Visual Tools 3.0 2002 Edition?


is this a plugin for VS.NET 2002? can i program in C# for PPC2002 using the above?

[Dazbot]

eMbedded Visual Tools is completely different program, it only supports eVB and eVC++.

It also doesn't compile VB applications into .exe's Instead it creates a .vb file.

Your best bet is to upgrade to VS .NET 2003 and as its built directly into it.

Hi,

As far as I am aware, to develop .NET Compact Framework code/Projects you need Visual Studio .NET 2003.

To develop Native code (C++) you need Embedded Visual Tools 4.0 with Service Pack 2 (and then the Ozone/PPC2003/windows Mobile SDK).

Apps developed using EVC 4.0SP2 will not execute on PPC2000 or PPC2002.

You do need VS.Net 2003 to develop for the compact framework - I've had it a little over a year so far - its seems alright. 2003 is just a point release update to 2002 that costs $29.00 to upgrade.

So there's no way to use VS.net to develop for a PPC without the .net framework?

Good question. I don't know how you would go about it, but it would most certainly involve targeting VC++ to use the compiler that is included with eVC++. Are you really gaining much if you were to do that?
