VS EA 2003 & .NET compact framework

Is there any way to develop .net compact framework applications from within
VS 2003? There isn't such an option in the new project options.

.net compact framework applications are only available for VB & VC#?
I code in C++.
I believe that's the case for the time being. VS.NET2003 has no natice

code
generation for smart devices, and making pure IL assemblies from C++ is
still hard at this point.


And then how it produces the executables? Considering that the API is the
same for all machines i can't understand why this impartial support. I

guess

Correction: same for all languages ...

it is a matter of tactics. :-)

In the meantime, if you want to write C++ for devices, I think you have to use EVC4.0.

EVC uses Win32 API and since i am newcomer to Windows programming,

naturally i am involved in .NET.

It's about testing. Managed C++ will work if you create an app that only
calls CF-available IL. Microsoft just hasn't yet done the boatload of work
to test and add designer support for it.
