Hello,
is it possible to implement the functionality of tstril in c#? If so, can someone post such an implementation? I would do it myself and post the results here, but I'm not proficient enough in either c++ or c# to attempt this on my own. Best Regards,
Donovan.

Hi,
I'm thinking about porting an app over to the XDA...
the source is written in C... anyone know of a good compiler for the strongarm processor?
easiest is to just use microsoft's free compiler 'embedded vc 3.0' ( for ppc2002) or evc4.0 for ppc2003.
you also need the ppc2002 sdk or the ppc2003 sdk
you can also use gcc, but it is rather difficult to build a working cross compiler. I use gcc for the time critical parts of my application, since it does a much better job at optimizing code.
Hi... here's what I was thinking of porting...
although after a discussion with a few of them (seen in the link) I'm not sure how viable it would be now.
I did post your links on the discussion
thanks anyways

you may be able to circumvent the problem that msevc doesn't fully
support exceptions ( runtime typeinformation is what is missing actually )
by using gcc for the bulk of you code.
maybe you would have to implement crt0.o your self.
Hi,
I'm interested very much in learning programming on smart phones especially for windows mobile OS.
Now can you experts suggest me
1.A versatile simple yet powerful language where I can learn application programming for windows mobile.
2.Needed compilers and assorted items for a starter..Needless to say my first aim is learn the basics by developing a hello world and calculator program which can add subtract on a windows mobile. Easily said
3..My current skill level- Iam in to Mainframe application development(full time),and due to my own interest started learning python.I do know C and did some assembly for basic micro controllers (during college days).
Now with these can you experts show me the path ?

helllo,
honestly the best compiler to use is Visual Studio 2008. It gives you all the tools you need to make a windows mobile application.
I personally believe that the easiest and most functional language for windows mobile is C#, but visual studio gives you the tools to develop in C#,C++, Visual Basic, and more.k
I hope i helped...
If you have anymore questions please feel free to ask.
Does Windows Mobile support coding in C# or C++, and if both, then which should I use? I'm asking this because I'm currently trying to learn computer programming, and I would like to eventually develop for Windows Mobile, but I'm not sure which programming language it supports. I've heard people say C++ and C#, and I'm confused.
Thanks
In theory you could do either one. Here are some links to get you started.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsmobile/bb264330.aspx
The last one has some starter kits for both C++ and C#.
Thanks for the help!
C# is a managed environment of course, so it requires the .net compact framework to run. This can lead to issues if the framework you develop for is newer than that which is installed on the device. However, managed code is much easier to write than native code. There is no managed version of C++ tmk.

Quite true. Obviously you can write apps with either - but if it was up to me I would probably pick C# and use the latest .net compact framework avail at the time.
If you have knowledge of C++, it's much more powerful, and lots of win32 is the same on Windows Mobile. C# is simpler to do basic user interfaces, but the .Net overheads are far more significant on mobile devices than on desktops.

amen to that.
I want to make apps for WM especially HD2, only I have no experience in programming. Is there an easier program to make apps?
Or is there an easy way to learn Visual Studio? E.g. e-learning or an electronic guide.
Thanx
Sadly there is no "easy" way to learn programming as such, but if you search around on google there are many guides and a lot of help.
First thing to do would be to choose what language to use.
The main choices (if your using visual studio) are:
-Visual Basic .net
-C# .net
-C++
Personally I would advise using C++
It would take quite a while to learn, but its worth it.
Just use google and search for C++ lessons or stuff like that
theres plenty of people out there who have written stuff about it.
There are plenty of programs that you can use for writing in C++
But I dont know how good they are when making programs for
windows mobile. I find Visual Studio quite good.
Hope this helps
If you do not want to shell out the bucks for a professional version of VS there is always the gratis versions of Embedded Visual C++ version 4.0 and the earlier Embedded Tools 3.0 which comprises EVC 3.0 and Embedded Visual Basic. Both available as gratis downloads. I don't know whether MS still host Embedded Tools 3.0 on their site, but plenty of other hosts exist, discoverable via a Google search.
EVB is the easiest to learn. You can expect a very steep learing curve to master EVC, but if you do, you will find it a very enlightening experience. The inner guts of the device can be revealed.
In VS Pro you have the choices of C# and VB using the .NET CF objects. Easier to code than C++, but it does have one or two foibles to trap the unwary.
Good luck!
Visual Basic .net good, simple lang
sincerely recommend
You can also use Mortscript to make a lot of apps.
I recommend it if you are not ready to dive into .net.

There has been a lot of question on how to program lately.
Before asking, please:
1) Do a search on the forums
2) Look at the sticky in the front of the forum. There is plenty of information on programming in the Wiki pages.
Good luck!
Hi, since the WIKI page on dev tools is now 3 years old i thought i'd try a more direct way of getting up-to-date info....you guys
Now that VS2010 has been released (afaik with no support for smart devices) - what is the current toolset for wm6.x development?
I can code in c++ and c# so either of those would be preferable, although i dont mind learning ANOTHER language if necessary....i just need to know WHAT tools i need so i can get cracking writing programs
thanks in advance
Personally, I'm using VS2008 with mostly C# apps, and some C++ dev.
The MS SDKs for both WM6 and WM6.5 are great, and there's emulators for all the different resolutions, so it caters for a large audience.
Just my thoughts, but I'm a big Microsoft fan when it comes to development environments.
