Hello All!

Can I use Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition for Windows Mobile 2003 (SE)
and Windows Mobile 5.0 native C++ development? And for .Net Compact
Framework C# development?

Or do I need a Visual Studio 2005 Professional edition?

Thanks all in advance!

Standard has all of the smart device programming features.

I haven't even tried VS 2005 yet, but I'm _pretty_ sure it won't
support Windows Mobile 2003, unless you're willing to do some
thoroughly unsupported hacks.

If I'm right, you'll need to use eVC 4 to build for Windows Mobile
2003. And that leaves you with a less than wonderful choice:
1) use both eVC 4 and VS 2005
2) use just eVC 4 (with a little care, results _will_ run on WM 5)
3) use just VS 2005, with hacks
4) use just VS 2005 and drop support for WM 2003

Yes, I totally missed the C++ part. For managed code Studio 05 will work
for PPC 2003. Robert is right, for C++ stick with eVC if you need to target
older devices.

VS2005 supports writing native code for Windows Mobile 2003 (Pocket PC and
Smartphone) (Technically it has the WM2003SE SDK). Support for Windows
Mobile 5.0 is also added once you install the separate Windows Mobile 5.0
SDKs. For older versions of Windows Mobile (2000/2002) you'll need to use
eVC++ 3.0.

Peter.
I'm glad to hear that VS 2005 supports app dev for PPC 2003. I've tried the
PPC 2003 Hands on Lab that comes with VS 2005, but nothing makes sense. The
menu options, etc appear to be for VS 2003. Is there a Hands on Lab for PPC
2003 that I can play with in VS 2005? Or for that matter any other resource I
can use to walk through a PPC 2003 app inside VS 2005?
