Have been working on PPC application with Appforge and VB6 -- but does not seem to be working well at all.
Perhaps the best choice is to go to .NET?
Anyone know a tutorial or a sample application I can take and learn from to accomplish this big task as painless as possible?
Thanks!
Time is a bit of an issue .... (as always)
programming for PPC .NET uses the .NET Compact Framework, which is just a cut-down version of the full .NET Framework.
the actual coding is not really any different to .NET coding.
Thank you. You are right, and that part I understand ... which is why I thought about going the VB.NET route ... my difficulty is the standard components to link to a datbase dp not seem be be part of the "cut-down" version for PPC
... so I'm not sure how to get them back ... or if .NET even lets you do that ... to hook to the database .....
I appreciate your help ...
access database are no longer supported under .Net you would need to get some 3rd party tools to use access with the compact framework.
however the good news is that sql server ce is free
if you are willing to pay money, you can use SQL CE, a version of Microsoft SQL Server for PocketPC/CE operating systems.
