What i need to install .NET CF?

Question

HI, I'm new to this community and i'm looking to install CompactFramework on my home PC... I'm not clearly understood Microsoft's requirements for its installation, so i seek an advice... I have: - WIN XP Pro - .NET 1.1 - SharpDevelop (not yet installed, i use EditPlus) - Visual C++ Embedded (free or trial i don't know, it's from a newspaper, not yet installed) Then i have to buy an iPaq with PocketPC 2003. I'm able to code in C# (and i prefer over C++, that i don't know). It's possible for me to develop some home application, or have I to buy something? After that i have to propose CF to my Company, so i have to plan it well... Can someone help me? TY in advance :-)

You will need atleast the professional version of Visual Studio.Net. You might want to check out Microsoft's CF section: http://msdn.microsoft.com/mobility/prodtechinfo/devtools/netcf/default.aspx There's a QuickStart tutorial for CF on gotdotnet : http://samples.gotdotnet.com/quickstart/compactframework/ - dip
