适用于Windows CE 6.0的程序

Question

Hello and thank you for reading my post.

A few years ago, we developed in my company a barcode application for "Windows Mobile 6.5" using "MS Visual Studio 2005".

This application targets the mobile terminal barcode scanner and also makes use of its filesystem (database).

We noticed that manufacturers presently sell barcode terminals ("Datalogic Memor X3" for example) with the OS "Microsoft Windows CE 6.0 Core" or "CE 6.0 Pro".

"How adaptable" is the "Windows Mobile 6.5" application for "Microsoft Windows CE 6.0"? (I understand it might depend on the application itself but I don't know what information to give here. Please ask and I'll give some additional info if necessary).

Does it involve only minor adaptations or is it hard work?

We couldn't try it ourselves because We are having a hard time setting up a correct development environment (IDE, emulator). We don't know which IDE to use. We heard of "MS Visual Studio 2008" but it's an old version of Visual and it's not that easily available.

Do you have some experience regarding these matters?

Best regards.

Answer 1

You have to use to develop WIN-CE exclusively VISUAL STUDIO 2008 other versions no longer support this platform.

I have a lot of work on these types of devices, and for the maintenance and development use only one pc WIN7 + VS2008.

It 'a stable and effective technology.

Develop for Windows Mobile 6.5 or CE 6.0 is identical

Buy or find a version of Visual Studio 2008, for those of us spread over tencnologia WinMobile (CE Mobile 6.X,embedded) is essential to have VisualStudio 2008. The versions of VisualStudio 2010 and later do not support the development of compact framework technology. With the 2010 and later versions can only develop for the mobile platform WinRT (WindowsPhone and other)

Answer 2

As known only VS 2005 or 2008 can be used. Additionally you need the device vendor SDK. If you didn't use aygshell functions you will have no issue in migration. Otherwise you have to change the windows mobile shell code. Is the app written in .net or c/c++?
