I'm interested in developing ON a pocket PC (as opposed to deving FOR one), so that I have something to do on the train on the way home...

does anyone have any experience with this? I know you can download a compact .net framework....

No, you can't. You need Visual Studio 2003. EDIT: Er, the framework itself you can, but it comes with Windows CE 2003, so there's no need. I thought you ment the SDK itself, in which case you can't.

There are no compilers for the .NET compact framework that run ON the PPC. There is a compiler for ASM and C++ though, you can find those on www.pocketmatrix.com forums.

I dabbled with a few test apps on PPC, it's not hard to pick up. There's a built-in emultor test-run the apps, the thing to get over is that you can only view one form at a time.

No i'm sure you can download a compact .net sdk to the pocket PC. I jsut finished talking to a guy who has done it. apparently its a free download from MS. haven't found it there yet.

Your friend is delusional.

EDIT:
I suppose you technically can d/l the SDK, but that'd be pointless since it requires VS 2003, which just so happens to already have it installed for you.
 
I asked the same exact question.

I want to do 100% normal .net programming, but on a PPC.

The thread I posted here came to the same conclusion that its not possible. I wish...
