3.4 Application program development

The FPC-8057 is bundled with built-in Windows CE.NET operating

system and with Compact Framewrok. In real applications users need to

execute various applications programs on it. However, unlike its other

family the Windows CE.NET is a hardware-dependent operating system. That

is to say, Windows CE.NET application programs are only portable in the

source code level. Users must rebuild the runtime file for a different

Windows CE.NET platform even though the source code may not be

changed at all.

To develop your application program, you can use two development

tools. Visual Studio.NET or eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0.

For Visual Studio.NET, you can download newest version of Compact

Framework from Microsoft website.

For eMbedded Visual C++4.0; the following development tools must be

installed on the PC:

z Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0
