I downloaded and installed the Windows Mobile 5.0 Development Kit from Microsoft. But when I go into Visual Studio 2005, I only see options to create a Windows Mobile Application with C#. But, I have a sample app from a company that has Visual Basic. I don't think I missed any options on the install of the kit, or did I??
Its in there for me. Under VB > Smart Device > Device Application.
Your not running Express are you?
Nope, I believe it is the Professional version. I'm at work now so I can't check, but I am 99% sure there was no "Smart Device" option under Visual Basic, only C#, but I'll check again tonight.
Well according to the product feature comparison chart its supported in Pro but they dont break it down by language.

Well the odd thing was that I was able to open a Windows Mobile 5.0 project that was written in VB and it worked just fine, but I can't seem to start a new project using VB as the language.
Try a reinstall and check your options of what is installed. Perhaps you just need to check the box for it?
