I have VS 2008 sp1. I'm in the middle of developing project for Windows Mobile 6. I have to develop the same project for both Windows Mobile 6 and Windows Phone 7 simultaneously.

Can you please let me know that,

1. What are the tool kits i have to download ?
2. Developed code for Windows Mobile 6 is reusable for Windows phone 7?
3. Can i develop both Windows Mobile 6 and Windows Phone 7 applications in one machine?

If yes,would you please let me know the url to download the tool kits. Otherwise would you please suggest in which way i have to develop the both applications in brief.

Thank you in advance,

Varshini.

To develope for WP7 you need following

1. Visual studio 2010 (Express edition is free)
2. WP7 emulator
3. .Net Framework 4
Here[^] are the links to download them.

Since WP7 and WM6 are different in architecture the code might not be entirely reusable, but you can develope them separately in a single machine.
