Visual Basic.Net

[cannonenter]

I am thinking about Upgrading to Vb2003.Net.

Can i start developing for Mobile PC like Ipaq or Palm computers, Using The Standard version of Vb.Net 2003. Or do i have to purchase more software.

I Have had a look at Appforge for Vb 6.0 but the price has stopped me from looking more into Appforge, Having said that it doers look very good.

Hope you can Help

I believe you can use the standard version of .Net 2003 to create apps for Mobile PCs.

That being said, this is the VB6 forum. You might want to ask your question over in the .Net Forum - Forum796

For those of a nervous disposition, you probably need to be aware that:

1) VB.NET 2005 Express is a beta product
2) It requires SQL Server 2005 Express, which is also a beta product
3) SQL Server 2005 Express requires one of the following OS:Windows 2000 Advanced Server, Windows 2000 Professional Edition , Windows 2000 Server, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP Professional Edition
4) SQL Server 2005 Express requires .NET Framework 2.0, which is also a beta

Just so you know.

Yeah, Yeah, it's a beta... But it's STILL FUN !!!

Serriously... I don't know if I stressed TRY enough...

Though it is a beta, It is still much better (IMO) than .Net 2003

It's a free download, and a good way to see if you are ready to migrate...

I WOULD WAIT for the FULL version to come out before Porting all my apps to it ;-)

Personally, I like the new form designer interface, and the inclusion of some of the C/C++ style syntax...
(such as X++, X += 1, Dim X As Integer = 1, etc...)
As well as being able to overload funtions, inherit controls, etc...

On the other hand, you might hate it...

From what I can tell... the beta period ends March 1st... So if you want to give it a test drive... I wouldn't wait too long...

I think you can still Download the Embedded Visual Tools sdk here:

You might check into that too...
