I was wondering if someone could tell me what is necessary to get starting developing applications for a Windows based PDA.

I have VS .NET Pro - but what else do i need to get started - any guides tutorials links would be great.

Thanks
 
www.CodeProject.com has source code and forums for all MS tech including WinCE.

Yahoo has a windowsce-dev mailing list with archives

There are other CE dev sites out there but I haven't gotten around to doing mobile development so I haven't built a list. Perhaps someone else will add more links.
 
If you wish to work in C++, I think the IDE you need is Embedded Visual C++. I'm not sure if you can write C++ for PPCs using VS.Net

Windows PDAs made in the last year or two include a cut-down version of .NET common framework. I know it has some limitations, but not the details since I haven't used it.

But you're probably right about win32/C++ as opposed to managed. For older PDAs without .NET you needed eVC instead of the normal Visual Studio.
