    CF 2.0 on Visual Studio 2003?

    Hi there. I have visual studio 2003. It appears that i need some of the functionalities and classes of Compact Framework 2.0 which are included on visual studio 2005. Is there any way to just get the compact framework and not be forced to install all of visual studio 2005?
    thanks

    You don't need Visual Studio at all to write .NET applications. Visual Studio itself is a .NET application so it couldn't write itself. All you need is the .NET Framework SDK for the version you want to target. Of course, VS has loads of useful features to make development easier.

    There are also other IDE's available. SharpDevelop is a free IDE that supports .NET 2.0, although I'm not sure if it supports Mobile development. You can't use VS.NET 2003 to create .NET 2.0 apps.
