Hi all,
I have installed Visual studio 2005, and wanted to start building application for WM6 based pocket PCs...
in the VB.Net section, there is separate section, for smart devices but in the VC section there is nothing like, that, i want to improve my VC skill as VB i am using past 4 yrs, and developed nice applications..
Kindly suggest me that how can i start with VC in visual studio 2005.
If you are aware of some resource web site, where i can get some basic tutorials, and all, that will be appreciated..
Thanks a lot..
you have to install the wm6 stk then you get a smartdevice "dir" under visual c++

i have already installed WM5 SDK, as i did not find any WM6 SDK,
is there any resource, where basic instruction are given. So I can start with..
And also i read some where for pocketPc i mean WM6 mobiles, we cant create App in VC++, we must use vb.net or c#.. is that true...
as under VC++ there are smart device plug ins but could not create project... that give more rise to suspicion,... please help..
thats how it looks in my new project
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms838270.nativedevicedev01(en-us,msdn.10).gif
apart from my visual c++ is located under other languages
Attention..
to develop an app for WM6 you have to install SP1 for Visual Studio 2005 first.. then you can add the "feature" to dev WM6 Apps

Probably. I use applications made for Windows Mobile 2003 and Windows Mobile 5, and both work fine. Windows CE is backwards compatible for the most part, so things that worked on CE 4.2 (WM 2003) and 3.0 (PocketPC 2002) probably work on 5.2 (all 6.x builds of WM). I don't know what CE version WM7 will run, probably CE 6.x.
I'm thinking about changing my current TP2 for the upcoming HTC Desire but I have a concern : I have a windows mobile app (an encyclopedia) that runs exclusively on windows mobile os and it doesn't exist on android. Is there a winmo emulator on android within which I could run winmo apps ? A kind of Ubuntu Wine perhaps ?
(I searched about this and found nothing...)
Thanks in advance

Wine by far predates Ubuntu!
But to answer your question: No.
There isn't an emulator to run WinMo on Android.
There are plenty of encyclopedias for Android though, do none of them have what you want?

Unfortunately, the application I'm using on WinMo is a non-public kind of encyclopedia (business stuff). Perhaps I'll have to wait for the company that made the application to port it to Android ....

its nearly impossible to port windows mobile to any other device apart from a windows mobile device, apart from the legalities of it all, unlike android and symbian windows mobile isnt open source, so no open source drivers ect exist

how long have you guys been using microsoft's products? the version number and naming conventions for windows os, being desktop or mobile is not governed by the version number but more to the number of succession of release.
"lack of knowledge"??? funneh.

If you go by how WM was, he's correct. WM 6 was build # 6.0, WM 6.1 was build # 6.1, WM 6.5 was build # 6.5, & WM 6.5.X was build # 6.5.X. I have been wondering the same thing on WP7, but at the same time MS has never used a standard build # to release # format. WP7 is WinCE 6.1 for example & Windows 7 is is Win NT 6.1 if I remember correctly.
Simply because if you go to Settings---About you will find: Software: Windows*Phone 7.5 (even under 7712).
If I recall correctly, Microsoft is internally referring to it as Windows Phone 7.1, but is branding it as 7.5 for the general consumer/marketing.
Also, people are calling it a beta because it is a generic RTM, nothing more, and because it is not optimized for our phones, a lot of people just see it as another "beta" till we get the final version meant for our devices.1

This. I don't know why there is so much confusion. Seems pretty simple to me.

Because not everyone is running the Beta. They see build #'s & hear people calling it 7.5, it's that simple. To assume everyone is running the Beta & can go to Settings>About is rather silly.
Mango is officially "Windows Phone 7.5" even though it's version 7.10.7720.
7720 is the software build number. The .68 is the carrier/OEM version. You will see the .68 change for all phones/models but, the base software is 7.10.7720 if it is mango.
The RTM is what it is, it's the final software from Microsoft, now it's up to carriers/OEMs to customize it with their software and drivers for each phone, this is where the .68 will change.
If your running Mango and go into the About settings, it does show "Software: Windows Phone 7.5" so that's why it's being called 7.5
