    Hi all,

               I  am having some doubts regarding Windows mobile and Windows phone application development. I did some applications for

    windows mobile 5 using CF 2.0, C# and VS2008, and all works well for the targeted platforms.

    I would like to know whether the Windows Phone devices supports application developed using the same (ie, CF 2.0, C#, and VS2008)?

    Is there is something else (SDK, Frameworks, Technologies...) i need to learn for developing applications in windows phone?

    Any emulator images or SDK available for Windows phones that can be incorporated with VS2008?

    Thanks in advance

    Regards

    Anish

    Windows phone 7 thats only be incorporated with VS2010.

    Because.........

    • WP7 has different OS architecture
    • WP7 has ARMv7 Processor
    • WP7 does not support backword compartability
    • WP7 used Silverlight for application development
    • WP7 supports only managed code development
    • WP7 supports the XNA Framework.
    • Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone see

    Here you can download WP7 SDK

    Hope it helps

    Hi Anish,

     

    I think your issue should be raised in the  Windows Phone 7 Forum. I believe they will know more information of this issue than us, and I will move this one to off-topic.

     

    Thanks for your understanding,

     

    Best regards,

    Jesse
