piscis Posted August 5, 2003 Posted August 5, 2003 Moving a VB.NET application to Windows CE and/or Palm�s I need to write an application to be used on Palm�s and Compaq iPads. This application is already written in VB.NET 2003. About 75% of the application is basically reading and loading data from a serial Machine Device into an Access (.mdb) database via an RS232 Serial port. QUESTIONS: Would it be easier developing for Windows CE like the Compaq iPads versus Palm�s operating system? Do I have to start from Scratch? Can anyone give me a suggestion on where to start? Thanks everyone!!! Andy Quote
*Experts* Volte Posted August 5, 2003 *Experts* Posted August 5, 2003 Well, I'm almost positive you'll never get a VB.NET to run on a Palm machine, but the .NET 2003 package comes with the Compact Framework, which allows you to develop for Windows CE 2002. You will probably be able to transfer much of your code, but you can't simply deploy it on both. You'll need to redesign whatever interface is there and probably redo some of the code. Quote

*Experts* Volte Posted August 5, 2003 *Experts* Posted August 5, 2003 There is a development SDK for Palm, but it is not .NET (at least, I don't think there is one). Quote
