Hello World with VS 2008

Hello everybody!

How can I make a Hello World with Visual Studio 2008 for CE 5.0? What do I
need? Is there an emulator for VS 2008?

I'm new with this!

Thanks

There is an emulator included with VS2008, but only for Windows Mobile 2003
and Windows Mobile 5.

Start a new project, expand Visual c# or VB or C++, select Smart Device.

Choose your project type from the Templates.

When you run this project it will ask you if you want to connect to a real
device or to an emulator.

BTW, the express editions does not include Smart Device development
features.

Thank you,
Errol

Hi!

Can somebody help me with making "helloworld" application for my mini 2440?
I put win CE 6 on board end want make hello aplication in C#, visual studio
2010. I found on internet how to make code in visual studio but how to put
code on board end make it work?

Thank everybody for help!

P.S, sorry for bad english

I can't remember the exact steps with Windows CE but you should be able to
use the VS IDE to download the file to the target and run it on there and
do all the debugging with the VS IDE.

Search in this forum as I do recall seeing someone explain how to do this
or do a search on Google for CE debugging.

Oh boy, I remember when I was going through this stage in development. You
will need to install a few items:

1) VS2008 PRO (preferred)
2) MINI2440 SDK
3) Compact Framework 2.0/3.5
4) If Win7/Vista{install WMDC 6.1} else{active sync}

Create Project:
1) Open up VS2008 -> File -> New Project -> Smart Device under Visual C# on
left side-> Select .NET Framework up top -> Select Smart Device Project
middle -> OK -> Target Platform: Wince -> Select .NET CF version->

2) Click view, select tool box. Drag a button into the frame. Then drag a
label onto the same frame. Double click on the button on the frame:

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    label1.Text = "Hello World";
}    
     
Shoot me an email at nothinrandom@gmail.com if you need some help.

Thank you so much! I did it! Now I understand how it works.

My friend, this is the tip of the ice-berg. Many headaches will ensue. I
wish you best of luck in your future endeavors.
