Hi,

I still have difficulties to understand why there is now smart device
development available in VS2010 :-((

Some of my Projects are vor WM6 and earlier. Must I from now on hold two
or more IDEs on my Machines to be able to fullfill the needs of my
company? That su..s!!

Is there any perspective, that it will be possible to move WM6 projects
to VS2010 in the near future?

Regards
Rainer

Hi Rainer

there are plans to provide an 'Add-On'
to VS2010 for the next generation smart/mobile devices,
as now there is one for 'Windows Phone 7'
(currently available: CTP)
and another for maybe something like 'Windows CE 7':
(new name: Windows Embedded Compact 7)

The release of the developer tools is now linked
to the release cycle of new mobile OS.

Until then, VS2008 is the only solution
for existing devices
(with e.g. .NET Compact Framework 3.5)
and can be installed side-by-side to VS2010.

Hi Thomas,

thanks for your information.
But this rumors and blogs talk about
- Windows Phone 7
- Windows Embedded Compact 7
but what about the "Old,old" WM6 ??
What about customers like me who have to support their customers with
"stone aged" WM6 PDAs?

Regards
Rainer

As Thomas said, you should continue to use VS2008. You can install VS2008
and VS2010 side-by-side.
