I would like to learn to program for PPC.
I am familiar with x86 assembly , and several RISC assembly langauages, while I understand it won't help me here, I also do know VB.
What language do you suggest I should learn, and what tools/compilator should I use ?
I would like to program an todat-plugin , among other things,
thnx
Visual Studio .NET is rather easy to use..
Your VB skills may come in handy..
There is allso the opportunity to use pure VB, but it isn't really any good..
The integration between development environment, emulator and device is awesome in VS.NET..
I personally use VS.NET 2003, with only VB.NET installed. Works for me..
The downside is that the applications require the .NET framework, and eat a little more memory than well written apps in other languages..
For absolute power and control; C++ as allways..

Ps. Fyll ut profilen bedre..?

with .net 2003
you can do vb.net
c# .net
c++ .net
with embedded visual studio c++ you can do
win32 applications
you can do mfc applications
heard there also in an embedded visual studio vb
which let you do vb without being .net
visual studio 2005 .net will merge embedded visual studio and smart device .net (the .net you can do with 2003 visual studio)

what would you like to know ?

Anyway, I was really looking for something lighter that the heavily overpriced and over-sised MS Visial Studio - but it seems that there are no better options
well there is a free c# compiler both a compiler which run on the pocketpc and one that is just a free windows c# compiler for windows but .net should be able to work on pocketpc's not matter what
and i also have a gcc compiler for pocketpc as in it run on the pocketpc
just about every compiler you can find which can compile arm code you can use to make programs for pda's using pocketpc2002 and 2003(SE)

Does anybody know with what IDE (Integrated Development Environment) it is possible to generate Applications?
eMbedded Visual C++ (based on Microsoft Visual Studio IDE)
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/resources/downloads/developer/default.mspx
With Visual Studio.NET 2003 you can develop applications that use the .NET Compact Framework.
Further to the last response - these Compact Framework applications can be written in VB.Net (which is very similar to VB, though more verbose) *or* C# - there's no difference in the speed they run, which (for PC applications at least) is a hell of a lot faster than VB6 code.
The VS2k3 environment even contains a device emulator, or can run code *on the device* and allow you to set breakpoints & go to the line an error occurred on. There's also a Windows Mobile 2003 SDK available from Microsoft which adds a Windows Mobile 2003 emulator.
Can some of the developers give me a quick link or some tips on what I need to download in order to start developing for Windows Mobile? I have a summer's worth of freetime and I thought I might aswell go do something useful.
embedded visual c++ 4.0 if you want to code microMFC or pure win32 it's free
visual studio 2005 if you want to code .net (and it does what embedded do too)
gc++ if you want to code pure arm code it's freeware from the linux world
i used to look for something that could utilize delphi or other pascal language. i have found something called lazarus that seem to have a compiler for arm but it refuses to cooperate when i select it(the compiler), anyone got it working?
Hi all!
Probably this is going to be a stupid question, because I just started coding in C# half a year ago, thinking that C# was just like JAVA, you can use it in every platform.
Today I managed to write my first "Hello World" application to Windows Mobile.
First I coded the application and compiled it to x86 (normally with Visual Studio) and tried to run it on WM. It didn't run.
Why? Isn't it the concept of .NET that it can run on every architecture?
After that I managed to figure it out that it has to be a smart device project...
Can someone give me a heads up (or a detailed link where I can RTFM?
Thx!
pda's use .net compactframework which is a subset of normal .net

Beware the manifest....
From Visual Studio 2005 onwards the IDE embeds a manifest in either the .EXE itself or as a separate file. This contains a list of exactly what the app needs to be present in order to run. The loader on the target machine reads it and makes sure that all this stuff exists on the target, before it will allow it to run. VS2003 was not quite so smart, there is no manifest. If the .NET objects used were present in both .NET 1.0/1.1 and the compact framework .NET 1.1 (i.e CF was the lowest common denominator) then the loader would load it and try and run it. Subject to there being no errors in the just-in-time compile of the .NET CLR and no run time errors of the code, it will work. It is possible to run the same .EXE on a PC and pocket PC, but there are a lot of ifs and buts.
Sometimes less is more......
Hi,
Im trying to self train myself to (at the moment) do simple c++ programming
I have found this website:
http://newdata.box.sk/bx/c/htm/ch01.htm
its a train yourself in 21 days.
Also downloaded ms visual c++ 2008 Express Edition.
Is there any other free software or sites that would help me out?
visual c++ 2008 Express Edition
as i recall will only let you make .net c++ apps
which is pretty pointles
if you wanna do .net c# fit the shue better
if you wanna do c++ then win32 or even microMFC is much better

many sdk's like sonyE x1 panel sdk only works with pure win32 programming
and is free to download at their site with examples and torurials
thanks for the info.
as i have a x1, i will download sony sdk.
a good place to start i think
How can i create software in c++ that can run on windows mobile.
Do i need the visual c++ 2008 pro edition or just visual c++ express ?
my phone is an HTC diamond
yeah express don't do .net or microMFV or win32 for c++ on smart devices
so you need something more
or you can do with gcc it's free
For C++ Win32, AFC or MFC you can use the free version of Embedded Visual C++ 4.0
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
Dont forget to apply SP4 to it after install. (Same page, use the link at the bottom)
