SUMMARY
The Visual Studio 2008 IDE and the development resources available as part of the Platform Builder for Compact 7 software suite provide an effective environment to develop a managed code application, and deploy the application to the target device directly from the IDE and the facility, for you to debug the code as the application executes on the target device.
In addition to the controls and libraries provided as part of the VS2008 software to support a managed code application, there is a large collection of controls and libraries provided by third-party companies and community projects with resources to support just about anything you can think of.
To develop an application with a GUI that involves a database, needs access to the media player, communicates over the Internet, and interacts with other systems that do not require critical real-time performance, the VS2008 managed code environment provides the most efficient and effective environment to rapidly develop an application for a Compact 7 device.
