Default New Microsoft Mobile Development Resource Kit

https://microsoft.order-5.com/trialstore/mobiledev

Microsoft has pulled together all the nescessary products, tools and SDKs into one neat package called "Mobile Development Resource Kit". The kit includes:

� SDK for Windows Mobile 2003-based Pocket PCs
� eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0
� eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 Service Pack 2
� eMbedded Visual Tools 3.0 2002 Edition (with Pocket PC 2002 and Smartphone 2002 SDKs)
� white papers
� Mobile2Market information and more

The price is $7.65. My own tool box is complete with all these items plus Visual Studio .NET. It's nice to see the effort of making it as easy as possible to get started. You can order your copy here!

Default ...

For those of us who aren't necessarily just developing for Pocket PC, is anybody using eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 to compile apps for other processors? Just curious to know if the existing CE.NET SDK's for Hitachi and Casio devices are still supported, or if those guys are stuck using the older eMbedded Visual Tools.

-KKC, bound and determined to keep Windows CE multi-platform. More choice is always better.

Visual Studio.Net doesn't appear to be part of the package.

It isn't. Andy said "my own tool box is complete with...".

For $7.95 don't expect to get Visual Studio .NET. :wink:

Is "eVB 2002" the same as the original, crappy eVB we've grown to despise, just with the 2002 SDK's? There aren't any improvements, correct?

Might want to edit the "." out of the end of the link so that it works like so :

https://microsoft.order-5.com/trialstore/mobiledev

Aren't all the parts of this available for download from their site? They don't seem that complicated to just download... except for maybe the white papers which are probably spread around the site... i don't know, i guess i'm just a cheap college student, not wanting to pay a few bucks for the convenience of having it on CD...

While we're on the subject, are there any issues that prevent you from using eVC++ 3.0 (with the PPC 2002 SDK) and eVC++ 4.0 (with the WM 2003 SDK) on the same development machine? I seem to remember that there is, but now I can't find any reference to it. I'm ready to take advantage of some of the WM 2003 features, but can't afford to break my PPC 2002 dev environment.

eVB itself is exactly the same... The difference is that they've dropped the Palm PC Pocket PC 2000 and Handheld PC SDKs which used to be bundled in the old package and just include the 2002 series SDKS (Pocket PC and Smartphone)

There wont be any further updates to eVB so you'll have to continue to despise it :wink: . Microsoft are putting their efforts into .NETCF for VB.NET and C# development...

eVC 3 and 4 do play happily together on the same PC I've got both along with the SDKs and have not encountered problems.

Yep, I had heard that too, so I was surprised to hear "eVT 2002" and got a little hopeful. I prefer the .NET CF, but my company is a little wet behind the ears when making decisions about usable technology.
