[vysysdes]

Hi, my name is Abdullah. I would like to ask several questions here about developing VB.NET for mobile application.

These are the questions:

1. Is there any latest tutorial which is tutor us to developing vb.net for mobile application in microsoft visual studio 2005?

2. if i need to developing an application with database, is there a must i have to use ms sql 2005? previously i hv done with exercise where database has be stored in filename.cab if im not mistaken.

3. to develop a mobile application, i have to use MVS 2005 rather than MVS 2003 because MVS 2005 supported more function in developing mobile application. anyone agree with me?

Hi, my name is Abdullah. I would like to ask several questions here about developing VB.NET for mobile application.

VB.Net might be a problem for Windows Mobile 5 - native VB support was dropped way back in 2003, and you have to manually install the runtimes for anything to work.


3. to develop a mobile application, i have to use MVS 2005 rather than MVS 2003 because MVS 2005 supported more function in developing mobile application. anyone agree with me?

If you're developing for anything older than WM5, MVS2003 is fine (I've heard in some cases it's better). If your target devices run WM5 however, you MUST use MVS2005.

Ughh, seems I got it wrong - VB.Net works fine under WM5 (http://msdn.microsoft.com/mobility/windowsmobile/downloads/evb.aspx), it's embedded VB that was phased out. Sorry, my mistake.

Going back to my first post, it depends on your target device. If it's WM5, then you have to use VS2005, otherwise VS2003 is fine. The WM5 SDK can't be used with VS2003.

I would suggest using VS2005. You can target either platform!
