samsmithnz Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 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.... Quote Thanks Sam http://www.samsmith.co.nz
wyrd Posted February 8, 2004 Posted February 8, 2004 (edited) 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 http://www.pocketmatrix.com forums.

Moderators Robby Posted February 8, 2004 Moderators Posted February 8, 2004 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. Quote Visit...Bassic Software

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.

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. Quote Gamer extraordinaire.

Denaes Posted February 10, 2004 Posted February 10, 2004 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... Quote
