I hope this is the correct forum...
So I have now finished my pride and joy first VB application and it works very well on a Desktop/Laptop. How hard, easy, impossible is it to recomplile it so that it will run on a window CE machine? Is it just a matter of recompiling it or more work needs to be done for it to work? Any ideas, pointers suggestions appreciated.
Glad to hear your app runs well on laptops!

I believe that you will have to re-write and re-compile your application using the .NET Compact Framework in order to run on Pocket PC / Windows CE devices.

Like the poster before, I am totally new to exporting VB apps to my pocket PC. I've spent hours doing google searches, signing in with MSDN, downloading the software, 60meg on a dial up connection, then searching this forum, to see your 'near sarcastic' reply to a newbie.

I was lead to believe if you downloaded the VB 2005 Express software, all of this was taken care of. eg, the .NET framework was part of the download.
OK. Call me thick. Any pointers to a simple solution.

And yes, i'll spend the next few hours searching the 'proper' forum thread you so kindly pointed out.
