I'm new to the CE environment, I have to create an application for a mobile computer with a barcode scanne that uses Windows CE 5.0 (motorola mc3000)
I was thinking that I should use Visual Studio 2008 because it seems that neither VS2010 and VS2012 doesn't support Windows CE 5.0 : ETA on Smart Device Projects for Visual Studio 2010
I have never used CE before and I have searched a lot for useful tutorials to help me in my task, but unfortunately it was with no result.
Does any one know any good tutoriel to help me to make a good start knowing that I'm using windows 7 ?
Thanks,
Tutorial for Visual Studio 2003
The tutorial should work for 2003/2005. 2008 probably has support for Windows 6.0 rather than 5.0
The SDK's documentation should include information about accessing the Motorola camera.

I have an Windows Embedded Compact v8.00 device installed with build 6247. FYI - This device is an Siemens HMI.
Now I'm looking for the right way to develop applications for this version of Windows. I started trying with Visual Studio 2008, so I build a very simple application with just a useless textbox. After copying the executable to the device I start tried to run the test applications but nothing happens.
After searching the web I found out it's better to install Visual Studio 2015 PRO with an application builder from Microsoft's website.
Is this the right way to do? What else does I need to know when developing applications for Windows Compact 2013?
To create applications for Windows Embedded Compact 2013 you need VS2013 or VS2015 professional with the Application Builder plugin and a valid SDK installed on your PC.
If you develop managed apps you also need to check in the .NET runtime is already part of the image or find a way to deploy and install it permanently on your device (the way to do this may change depending on the device configuration, registry type etc.)
I know my question is a kind of repetitive to this one
However I didn't got good understanding from it. Plus after these many years i may have to take multiple new points into consideration.
Scenario:Our client has around 20 Motorola MC35 devices. They have Windows CE operating system on it. We have to develop an application for it.
I have been googling a lot but not getting answers to;
Can we develop database driven applications for windows CE operating system?
If Yes, What framework to use for it's development. Can we use .Net Compact Framework?
We have Visual Studio 2013. Which project template needs to be installed in VS to do required development?
Which emulator to use?
Links / samples for development
1: yes, you can
2: .NET Compact Framework 3.5 and SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP2
3: You need VS 2008 with Smart Device Development option chosen during install
4: If you install VS 2008, it comes with a CE emulator
I am using windows 7 with visual studio 2017. I have some code I want to run on windows CE 4.1. How do I build the code for this version of CE? I see there is mention of a CE build platform 4.0 but can't find a download for it?
It depends on what kind of application do you have. If has been developed with Visual Studio probably you should be able to build it in an old version. VS2008 or VS2005 should still support CE 4. For sure they support CE 5,6 and 7.
It may be that the application has been developed with Embedded Visual C++ 4.0, you may be able to still find a download in MSDN but I've no idea about how it could run on Windows 10, maybe a WinXP virtual machine would be better.
If the application was developed using platform builder and integrated in the OS image you can still find it in MSDN but, again, this is quite an old tool and will probably have issues running on a recent PC.
i am new bee in this field. i have a motorola mc70 device.i want to create an application for it in which device scans barcode and than put data of barcode into my sql server database. i have worked in visual studio 2010. now i have a motorola scanner sdk and user guide. but i don't know how to create application for these types of devices.
i have worked in c# so i am familiar with it and i am using sql server database for it.
i don't know where to start?? should i make console application or other type of application.
Can anyone help to sort this out and provide procedure to create application for this device...
Thanks in Advance...
If you're gonna to use .net then you have to get Visual Studio 2008 and download the Windows Mobile SDK. They removed the support for creating Windows Mobile applications in VS 2010 and up.
In Visual Studio 2008 you will find smart device project etc.. And there is also a Emulator for it.
There is other options to create applications for these devices. Like RhoMobile Suite. With it you code HTML5 / CSS3/ Javascript / Ruby etcc. But it is not free.
Developing applications in RhoMobile is free but when deploying it and uses some features will cost.
I'm sorry if these are really noob questions but I am new to the Visual Studio C# world and confused about what I will and will not be able to do with the Express editions and how they differ from the Professional Edition.
I installed Visual Studio Express for Desktops a couple of weeks ago.
I have seen MVVM tutorials using Blend (Expression Blend?) which looks a great tool for creating modern looking apps that will scale on different devices.
However, I can't find Blend in my current install - it appears to only come with the Express for Windows 8 product.
So I have a couple of questions, bearing in mind I want to eventually purchase the Professional Edition:
Can the different versions of Express be installed at the same time ?
Can you install Blend separately ?
Is Blend only suitable for Windows 8 apps or can it be used for older desktop WPF ? (I read something about Update 2 allowing this ?)
Is the Express for Windows 8 product only suitable for windows 8 apps or could they be compiled to run on Vista and up ?
Will the Professional version give me:
Blend ?
The ability to maintain older VS2010 WPF solutions ?
The ability to style desktop apps which will run on Vista+ (XP even?) ?
The ability to create WinRT and Windows 8+ apps ?
Do you have to install and run VS2012 on Windows 8 if you are targeting Windows 8 ?
I'm a single developer and want to be able to do everything and make it look cool on all Microsoft OS - what do I need ? (That's a rhetorical question btw)
Thanks in advance.
Yes, cou can install different Versions of Visual Studio Express
I have installed
VS 2012 Express for Windows Phone
VS 2012 Express for Windows 8
VS 2012 Express for Windows Desktop
VS 2012 Ultimate (which can all this things at once)
Yes you can install blend seperatly, but I dont know if theres a free Version
You can use Blend for WPF Application as well
Express for Windows 8 is only for Windows 8 Apps
Yes, you can also build WinRT Projects (if you have installed the sdk)
Yes, you only can develop Windows 8 (WinRT Apps) or Windows Phone 8 Applications on Windows 8
But you the Express Versions of Visual Studio are only for non-commercial purpose. If you want to create commercial applications you need a professional version.
