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:
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!!
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.
The only solution is to install Visual Studio 2008 Professional and create a WinForms Smat Device app.

I've been developing for and running Silverlight 4 for about a week. A week ago I installed the Silverlight 4 design time components to develop and debug silverlight for VS 2010 - I posted some of these apps and they were used by users running SL4. Today, I went to a website that told me to upgrade my SL (I think it was the MS expression site) - so I did that and all the sudden I get this error when running SL 4 apps within VS 2010.
The silverlight developer runtime is not installed please install a matching version
Installing the latest version of the Silverlight SDK does not correct this. Basically I am stuck and unable to run Silverlight apps from VS2010.
Are versioning problems like this a common theme in SilverLight? The only thing I can think of is that there is a minor version difference between the versions used on the the MS Expression web site and the version (SL4) I installed from MS site a few days ago? However re-installing the latest version of SL4 does not correct this.
Any help?
The developer runtime is a different download than the normal "end user" runtime.
Again quoting from Tim Heur's Blog, you need to look for the link under "getting the updates" that points to the developer runtime. This will allow you to debug etc.
I have VS2010 and Expression studio 4 on my machine. I have done a fair amount of programming on Silverlight. What do I need to get started with development on Windows phone 7. I googled and found out that I need to install VS2010 express for WP7 beta. Can't I just use my existing VS2010 installation with some additional templates and an WP7 emulator? And Is it possible to use blend? Is there anything else required to set up dev environment for wp7
Thanks.
You can download and install the Windows Phone Developer Tools Beta and you are ready to go.
Even if you have VS2010 Pro or higher version installed, you still need to install WP Developer Tools .. This will install the templates for WP development in VS 2010 Pro/ultimate for development of WP7 apps. Also Expression Blend for Windows Phone is different from Expression Studio
In 2008 Artur Carvalho asked for an Alternative IDE for Silverlight and was told to look at Visual Studio Express.
Is that still the valid answer in 2010 or are there other IDEs one should consider (cost/ OS it runs on / stability)?
I'm trying to get a feel for silverlight development before commiting cash. So I don't need enterprize level tools or a license to distribute ..
Would MonoDevelop and Moonlight be an option?
On Windows I haven't heard about anything besides Visual Studio Express 2010. On Mac you can use Eclipse for Silverlight.
As for me, I don't develop SL daily rather occasionally and starting with Blend 3 I can actually use Blend for most of my smaller personal projects and don't bother to install VS although I have a licence for it. Blend now has a decent support for Intellisense and most UI stuff is easier in Blend. Yes, Blend is not free.
I am getting the following message when trying to create a new Silverlight application in VS2010RC:
This application was created for an expired beta release of Silverlight. Please contact the owner of this application and have them upgrade their application using an official release of Silverlight.
What do I need to do to resolve this issue?
The final releases of both Visual Studio 2010 and Silverlight 4 are available, so I suggest you "upgrade".
Now that Visual Studio 2010 & .NET 4.0 been officially released, the beta and RC versions will start refusing to work and instead posting messages like you are getting.
To avoid the error, you will probably need to install the RTM (Release-to-Manufacturing) versions of the Silverlight 4 SDK and the Silverlight Tools. At worst, you would need to upgrade .NET 4 and Visual Studio 2010 as well.
The Silverlight 4 Tools page may be the first place to find the latest versions. There is a link to download the Silverlight 4 SDK there, but I'm not sure if that's really the RTM version.
Also, note that often Microsoft expects you to fully uninstall the beta or RC versions of their software before installing the final version.
I already own Visual Studio 2008 Team Version, and have an MSDN subscription...and I am an experienced ASP.Net developer.
What do I need to install to do Silverlight development, and can all of those tools be installed alongside my current "production" development machine (want to make sure there will not be any side effects).
I know I want to learn silverlight, but its not clear to me which tools are required and/or recommended in order to get started...
Thanks.

This link has pretty much every thing you need.
If you're already comfortable with VS development, you can just develop Silverlight in VS by downloading the Microsoft Silverlight Tools for Visual Studio 2008.
If you're more of a designer than devloper, then Microsoft Expression Studio may be better for you.

I have no problems using this stuff side-by-side with my regular development
Silverlight.net is a good place to start. All the tools are finalized so you should be able to install all things silverlight and be fine.
I am also trying to get started with Silverlight development.
Here is how I was getting started.
1.) To set up development environment: Getting started with Silverlight
2.) Web Sites to keep up with.

I have Visual Studio 2003/5/8(+Resharper 4.1) installed on my machine along side siliverlight SDK and Expression Suite.
So far I have not seen any side effects even after installing all those tools on my dev machine after few months.
You can use Silerlight Spy to view the 'reflected' source code of any Silverlight application on the web. But, you can also use it to validate the structure of the components in your running application. The debugging experience reminds me of working with Firebug while trying to decipher the viusal structure of a web page.
In addition to the visual studio stuff, you should probably get blend and all of it's service packs.
