Question Visual studio 2005 - Visual basic

Has anyone used it with Windows mobile 2003 out of curiousity? You need to have the professional version for the mobile template.

So, I guess amongst individuals this isn't to popular? Considering professional isn't free, not even a trial. And Wm2003 is now out of date.

Have you used it? I have VB6 and love it, but from what I understand, the new version is object oriented, and I don't want to learn a whole new way of programming.

VS 2005 is great. From a developer perspective, it's a huge improvement over VS 2003. For example, the work for a lot of common activites (eg. building security) is much, much simpler, as MS provides a set of libraries that the the repetitive stuff.

The OO thing is not all-or nothing. If you know VB6, you can use VB.Net 2005, no problems. I haven't done any create any mobile apps, other than playing around a few years ago when I first got my hands on VS 2003.

I just spent the last 5 minutes creating a mobile app with VS 2005 and deploying it to the emulator. Doesn't do much (copies the contents of Text1 to Label1 when Button1 is clicked), but still, pretty good for five minutes work, most of which was figuring out how to do the deployment.

You may have to download the WM2003 Sdk.
I use vs2005 standard with C# and it appears to work well.

That would work. VS 2005 Standard is all you need...then download the needed SDK.

Steve,

I use both VB6 and Visual Studio.Net in my work. For my own little side projects, however I still use VB6. .Net is fine - but if you're interested in developing strictly to the Windows desktop then VB6 still has the most bang for the buck, IMHO.

If you have an extra couple hundred bucks - order yourself a copy of CodeSmart2007 for VB6. (www.axtools.com). It enhances the VB6 IDE with features you only find in .Net - it's an excellent extension.

Much of the code that I still maintain in our system here (at least 60% of it) is in VB6 and really has no cause to be migrated to .Net as yet. VB6 ain't dead by a long-shot.

I'm talking about using Visual basic for building an application for WM2003, not any other visual studio language. I'm not a programmer really, sort of a beginer to the scene. Though for the pc, using Visual basic in VB 2005, how do you animate a square that has been made using the brush/ graphics code? As well control it by using a key.

All the .Net languages all use the same framework, just the syntax is slightly different.

You will wire up an event for OnDraw and one for OnKeyPress.
You will also need to access the Graphics object and use the DrawSquare function.
