Hello,

thanks for your comments. I took a look on the proposed solutions... basic4ppc seems nice, however it also seems limited in it capabilities... I'm not a guru programmer, but I would like to make something more than a windowed application (let's say for instance, a start menu replacement would be nice...).

Nsbasic looks nice too, but a bit pricey for me. The fact is that, I have Visual Studio for free, so I'm starting to believe that it'll be difficult to find better. And a very important factor too, I don't like much the idea of Basic. It's been a while I didn't develop in Basic, and C# seems more natural and structured to me now. However being able to develop directly on pocketpc sure is a nice feature...

My only problem is the license issue. Can I develop a software using Visual Studio and release it with open-source license (say GPL or BSD) ? Since it's just code, I don't think there is a problem, but I don't know if I can also distribute a compiled version of it...
