Embedded Visual C++ 3 (for pocket PC 2002) and Embedded Visual=20
C++ 4 (for pocket PC 2003) are free stand alone IDE's, very=20
much like visual C++ 6 (visual studio) for windows desktop=20
development. These can be used to develop Win32 and MFC C++=20
applications (and probably som others but not .NET).

If you want to develop managed code (C++ or C#) using the .NET=20
compact framework, You need Visual Studio 7 (.NET), I am not=20
sure what version. An SDK for the Pocket PC 2003 can then be=20
freely downloaded and installed, working in the same=20
environment as for desktop development.
