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.

I am assuming from the header of your message that you are using VS.NET 2003
Enterprise Architect; this being the case, simply choose VB Project Items or
C# Project Items and within the list of projects, there will be "Smart
Device Application".

..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.

The Whidbey release will address both of those concerns - adding native code
generation for devices and making it easy to make pure IL assemblies from
C++.

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

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
it is a matter of tactics. :-)

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.
