Hi.
What are my development environment options for developing Windows Mobile 5.0 applications in C# and .NET Compact Framework2.0 Am I limited to VS2005 Are there thirdparty development tools And if not, can I purchase only VC# instead of entire VS suite of development languages
Thank you. I currently have VS C# Express Edition. As noted by Microsoft, there is not support for WM5.0 application development in any of the express editions. The problem is I am development applications for at-home personal productivity use. It is very doubful I would ever use the product beyond hobbie work.
Please advise.
Thank you.

You might be able to use SharpDevelop.

You are stuck with Visual Studio 2005. Standard edition will work. If you have currently or otherwise can acquire a previous Microsoft compiler product or some competitive products (think ebay, a discount/used bookstore, etc) you can qualify for upgrade pricing on standard edition for around $162 from some resellers. If you are a student or otherwise affiliated with academia, that pricing has been seen for a low of $50.
I applaud Microsoft for creating the Express SKU's, but I do wish they would contain smart device support for people like yourselves. I started in development as a hobby myself buying an old version of Visual C++ for a song. Best of luck, and I'm glad to see that you are going the legal route of licensing software.
