Best way to write a Mobile 6 app with Visual Studio 2010


I need to write a simple app for a Symbol MC70 scanner

My device is loaded with: Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 Premium

I have VS 2010 Premium on my desktop. When installing the Window Mobile 6 SDK I get this error: enter image description here

I read this article: Windows Mobile 6 Standard SDK Refresh install issue on Visual Studio 2010 Professional Beta 2

But my question is really - What's the best way to go forward from here? Using WinForms I can knock this app out in 3 hours. I'm hoping I don't burn 3 days fooling around with SDK's etc. Does anyone know if there are any VS 2010 plugins for this? Would it be best to try and update the devise to Mobile 7 and use VS 2010?

Thanks so much for any help!!


Solution

  • The MC70 device does not support wm7 and vs2010 does not support wm6 development.

    The only current solution I'm aware off is to develop with vs2008.
