    You already have a few. Search for "Smart Device Samples".

    You know, I'm not sure if the standard edition has support for PocketPC development. When you try to create a new project, do you have an option for "Smart Device Application" in your templates?

    Wink

    Depends on how you look at it If you just want to start playing as you said, you can always download embedded VB from Microsoft, which is free. It's not .NET, but you can still have fun.

    Other than that, you'll have to upgrade.

    Kind of. It's the mobile development tool for VB before .NET. Also comes with embedded VC++. Best thing to do is go download and check it out.

    Well then, I guess I'll just have to tell my boss I need an upgrade to Pro... Let's see what happens.

    I took a quick look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/howtobuy/pricing.aspx and didn't see the price for upgrading from standard to pro.

    If you're in a commercial environment, whatever the cost is, it'll be worth it. IMHO, your boss will save more time in your salary than the upgrade will cost. Not to mention you'll be staying modern.

    I noticed their was not an option for upgrade pricing from standard also... not a problem though. He cleared me for $1500 in case I need to get some special controls.

    So after that comes in, I get back on to look for more help.

    Thanks a lot!!

    Nice - new toy To answer your previous question, the pro edition contains bunches of sample projects. Also, goto opennetcf.org for some free, open source controls.
