Development for Cell Phones - Visual Basic .NET

Can I develop cell phone apps with VB .NET?

What would you suggest as a target phone for testing, and would I need any other special equipment?

Are there any good books for developing for this platform?

Hi,

Yes, you can use VB .NET for Windows Mobile Edition 2003 or later. You need
Visual Studio 2003 Professional or higher. There are SmartPhone examples
available online, though I don't know of any book that addresses this
specifically. The newsgroup for these things is
microsoft.publi c.smartphone.de veloper. You can ask there about specific
hardware.

This may seem obvious or not, but apps written in VB.NET using the .NET
Compact Framework, etc. can run only in Microsoft Smartphones (which run a
special Windows Mobile OS), not in any cell phone, since most cell phones
use Java, the J2ME MIDP flavour.

To develop in .NET for any cell phone you need some 3rd party toolkit such
as http://www.appforge.com/

If your goal is to code for Java-enabled phones (the majority today), it
would be better to use the Sun Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME) Wireless Toolkit:

I would like to know if I create an application in Application Development Framwork for 10g, will that be compatible with Oracle Db 9i and Oracle's 9i front-end tools?

Is it also possible to create a Windows(not java or web) front-end using an Oracle tool which then will use BC4J to connect to the Db? To my knowledge, ADF...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
