[VB.NET] Convert from Win CE to Pocket PC - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

R_R_R · 03-09-2005, 01:07 AM

First off i should say i don't know very much about object oriented programming, but i am learning... That being said I have a bit of a problem with the application I'm writing for a school project. The application is a simple restaurant ordering system. It has to be able to run on my iPAQ 5550 running Pocket Pc 2003.

The problem is that I started making the program before I got the pocket pc, and didn't realize that it wouldn't be a Windows CE device. I got the whole GUI finished and it worked fine on Windows CE emulation, but when I realized the iPAQ ran Pocket PC 2003, and tried to emulate my program in that, the forms are to big to fit on the screen.

I hope this makes sense. What I want to know is if there is a way to convert a windows ce application to pocket pc, so that i don't have to write the whole thing again.

Any help would be so very greatly appreciated.

if the form is to big, just make it smaller, resize all of the objects.

What Dilbert said. At worst case, you might have to rewrite it (mainly redesign the forms) and copy & paste your code.
