I'm using Visual Studio 2008 VB.NET to develop an application, and it is working fine in Window XP SP3. Is it possible to run this application on a mobile device with Window CE 6.0 ?
The application will not directly run on Windows CE, no. Since you're using Studio 2008, create a new Smart Device Project from the New Project wizard and import your existing code base.
Since you started with a desktop project, it's unlikely that the code will just compile as-is but, depending on exactly what features you're using, it's quite possible that you'll be able to modify what you have to compile for both the Compact Framework (CF) and the full framework.

I am new to SQL; I have a VB.net project that works fine with Microsoft SQL Server Compact v3.5 (and OleDB) on Windows 7, and I want to compile it on Windows 10 with Visual Studio 2019.
When I tried to compile it on Windows 10, I get a lot of errors:
Null reference exception
in debug mode, and it freezes in release mode in the first window (sorry I can't add a code example because the project is too big).
I have seen that Microsoft SQL Server Compact v3.5 doesn't support Windows 10 (I'm not sure about this information) in this link : https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5783
If it is true how can I make my project work in Windows 10? And thank you.
we've been asked to change a webapp we're making to metro interface, the thing is, we have only Visual Studio 2005, what should we do to be able to change our app to Metro?
You will need Visual Studio 2012 as far as I am aware. You can use the free Express Edition of Visual Studio 2012 for building Windows 8 Apps. You will also need to be running Windows 8. You cannot develop Windows 8 Apps on Windows 7, Vista, or any other OS version less than 8.
You can install the Express Edition of 2012 along side Visual Studio 2005 and have them run side-by-side, it doesn't replace 2005, so you can keep using it.
As far as doing it within visual studio 2005 I don't think it's possible. But what you would need is the Windows 8 SDK.
You may be able to get by with the open source IDE Sharp Develop. I haven't used it in a long time so I'm not sure how far you'll get with it.
Requirements for Developing windows 8 Application :-
1 -> Visual Studio 2012
2 -> Windows 8 Latest Version
3 -> Developer License.
Windows Store App Development
Once you are done with this remeber you need to meet certain criteria listed below
App certification and requirements
Now answer to your original question
with visual studio 2005 you wont be able to build the app as 1,2 are the basic requirements, hence forth once you start you can go through the links below to make ur app perfet for the windows store
Note : one bad news . Ull have to code entire thing again as metro is a subset of the win32 api's and it will not even recognize some of them .
i used the source safe 6.0 with vb.net.Whenever i open the project,the project is getting to hanged and i take long time to write one word in the project.
Is there any way to prevent Form hang while the code in the project using sourcesafe 6.0?
Is it even possible to integrate VS 2010 with VSS 6.0?
Thanks
I tried SourceSafe 6.0 with VS 2008 and it works fine. It should work with VS 2010 as well using the MSSCCI plugin of VSS.
Does the same issue happens on other machines? If so, I recommend you upgrade to VSS 2005 and try again or switch to another source control tool.
Currently our BSP is built using Visual Studio 2005. I would like to update this to use VS 2010 at the very least, preferably 2012. I have not been able to find anything that will allow me to do this. I tried to upgrade the project to VS 2008, but it failed to load the project. I was wondering if anybody had some ideas or could at least point me in the right direction.
Visual Studio 2008 does support the Platformbuilder Plugin and creating Applications for Win CE, however the import wizard is not perfect, you may need to change some settings by hand.
Visual Studio 2010 does not support creating BSPs or applications for Win CE.
Visual Studio 2012 will support creating of BSPs and applications for Windows Embedded Compact 2013.
It also includes a new faster version of the .Net Compact Framework.

I have made a small windows application with visual studio 2008 ,its working properly with win 7,but when i tried it in an another machine which is running in win xp it showed error. I googled and found that,the win xp machine what i have used does not have a .net framework.My question is that is their any way to make an application using vb 2008 which can be run in win xp computers which doesnt have a .net framework (other than virutlalisation) or to incorporate .net framework in the application.
*I am sorry for asking this question,i know its "dumb" question but i am new to vb.net
Advance thanks
No. You must have to install the appropriate version of .net framework.
You can make .netframework 2.0 application using visual studio 2008. Select . net framework 2.0 on opening visual studio 2008. This application will work in windows xp without installing any . net framework.
