WinCE beginner

[manlee]

hello all,

I've been a VC developer for a couple of years now. But I mostly developed Win32/MFC applications. I am curious as to how the embedded stuff are being developed (WinCE, Pocket PC, etc.). What tools are used/needed and such (sdk's, IDE's, emulators)...

Can I use Visual C++ to develop WinCE applications?

Is there a "store shelf" product that Microsoft sells for developing WinCE apps similiar to VC?

Please advise...
Thanks

Microsoft has a couple of tools for mobile development. Based on your comments, you might want to check out the eMbedded Visual Tools. More specifically, you may want to check out eMbedded Visual C++.

thanks all.

It seems Microsoft has eMbedded VC 4 now.
Is it too new and unstable that I should stick with version 3?

I tried messing around with eVC 4 -- didn't get very far though.

Basically I couldn't find any equivalent to the PocketPC SDK... it seemed like I had to compile my own reference platform?

Anyway, if you have time to kill you could try it -- let me know if you have any success -- but it seems premature and a hack of VS .NET to me.

Version 3 is much more stable than 4 and will do more or less everything that 4 will. i would stick with 3 for the time being.....
