Can I develop VB6 App for windows CE?

Hello,

I have a VB6 (enterprise edition) IDE. Now I want to develop App for PDA.
Can I use my current IDE to develop it? If not, what tool I have to use?

Thanks

Download the Embedded VB Toolkit / SDK from Microsoft Downloads. This
installs into your VS6 IDE and provides CE forms and controls to develop
a CE application.

Toolkit 3.0 is the way to go if you are writing eVB or eVC.

An alternative is to use the .Net CompactFramework, as some PocketPC OSs
will not be compatible with eVB (they do not include the runtime file(s)).

Hi,

The other replies were correct for free product.  However, eVB and other
eMbedded Visual Tools are deprecated (not supported) for PocketPC 2003 and
later, and will not work on Windows Mobile 5 devices.  So... I recommend
Visual Studio 2003 Professional or higher, or even better Visual Studio 2005
Standard or higher for development of PocketPC and for other Windows CE
based systems.  The performance is much better than eVB (several orders of
magnitude), and the development environment is better.
