Developing Windows Mobile 6.5 C #: where to start?

Question

Where would I start developing applications for Windows Mobile 6.5 using C #?

Answer 1

Best to start with the Windows Mobile Developer Center

There you will find many different resources, laboratories, practical exercises, etc. At MSDN, you start by getting started developing applications for Windows Mobile

Some code examples can be found here.

Besides MSDN, the Internet is also full of resources, for example:

• WMA Development
• Microsoft's Mobile Application Development Guide is also good, as much goes to 6.x
• You may also want to consider the .NET Compact Framework 3.5 data-driven workbook.
• This blog

Have fun :)

Answer 2

You can start by purchasing Visual Studio 2008. It contains the tools you need to develop on the Mobile 6.x platform. Unfortunately, express editions do not provide this functionality, and Visual Studio 2010 is intended only for the Windows 7 mobile platform.

If you still need to learn C #, then first get Visual Studio 2008 Express for C # and buy a book. This will allow you to learn the basics of Win32 and C # code without spending too much money.

Answer 3

Download the SDK here: Developer Tool for Windows Mobile 6.5

Answer 4

Download the full version of Visual Studio 2008 for the trial version (90 days) or in full if you bought it earlier but lost the CD-ROM from http://download.microsoft.com/download/8/1/d/81d3f35e -fa03-485b-953b-ff952e402520 / VS2008ProEdition90dayTrialENUX1435622.iso . If you have a CD, of course, you can just use the CD.

Then download the Windows Mobile 6.5 SDK from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=6135 .

Good luck
