    programming pocket pcs using vb.net

    can we build applications for mobile devices such as handhelds using vb.net ? what is the best way to build a windows application for such devices? i understand there is one verison of vb , "Microsoft eMbedded Visual Basic 3.0" for that purpose but i am not sure if that is similar to vb . please throw some light on this.
    thanks

    Microsoft eMbedded Visual Basic 3.0 is unmanaged code, based on VBScript.

    .NET offers a very rich development and runtime environment for mobile devices through the .NET compact framework (codename: Ultraviolet). Out of the box XML Web Service support etc. , very cool !

    So, the .NET compact framework is the way to go !

    gijsj, thanks for the response. i believe the .NET compact framework costs around $1000 unlike regular .net framework which is free. is that true ?
    I have beta2 version of .net but i could not find a way to create a project for mobile device applications. am i missing something ? does the compact framework come with an ide ? do i need to have it before i can start working on the project ?
    please help
    thanks
