Hello,
I am a C# application developer trying to begin the process of writing an application for a Windows CE device. I am not sure which device or processor I will be targeting, but before I get to that point, I would like to download an device emulator to run demo sample applications. I do not want to build an OS with Platform Builder, I am not a C++ developer, I am only looking to download or purchase a device emulator and write application code that can be used inside of Visual Studio 2008. An suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Solution 1

The .net compact framework sdk comes with emulators that integrate with Visual Studio 2008 professional. There is also Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK, which I think installs the .net compact framework. These tools are all free, I think.

Googling for Windows CE emulator gives plenty of hits, the first one being a link to the download page itself. For instance, the CE 5.0 emulator is here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=A120E012-CA31-4BE9-A3BF-B9BF4F64CE72[^]
