For developers: Windows Mobile Starter Kits released by Microsoft May 24, 2006 [General] | By Edward J. R. General idea is that: Microsoft wants to give impression to developers that they can take a sample application, put their business idea into it, and then get rich quick by selling such Windows Mobile application. Since market share of Windows Mobile is tiny compared to Symbian and Java phones, this impression is rather a delusion in 99% of cases... Windows Mobile Starter Kits are fully functional sample applications. Each sample is complete and contains its documentation, so you can get started right away. Before you begin, you must have Visual Studio 2005 and the Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC or Smartphone SDK already installed on your computer. Then, select the Starter Kit of your choice, click on download and select Save. Visual C# and Visual Basic.NET Starter Kits When you launch the downloaded file, the Starter Kit will be installed as a project template inside Visual Studio. You can them use the Starter Kit by creating a new Visual Studio Project, and selecting the project type from Visual C# (or Visual Basic) / Starter Kits. Once a Starter Kit project has been created, online documentation is automatically displayed. Visual C++ Starter Kits Starter Kits written in Visual C++ are presented in standard Visual Studio project format, stored in a zip archive. Unzip the file to a know location, and then load the project into Visual Studio.
