Control Libraries for Smartphone?

Control Libraries for Smartphone?

• Richard Bysouth

  Hi Mattneug,
  What version of the Smart Phone are you targeting
   If you are developing for Windows Mobile 5.0 (SmartPhone) (You can get the SDK for this on http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx FamilyID=dc6c00cb-738a-4b97-8910-5cd29ab5f8d9&DisplayLang=en) then you will be able to create a control library for smartphone projects.
  
  Notice that creating a .NETCF Control Library directly from your project is a V2.0 feature and V2.0 features are not available on SmartPhone 2003.
  To Create a V2.0 project (for the SmartPhone) you have to be developing against Windows Mobile 5.0 Smart Phone.
  
  However if you want to build a Custom Control for your V1.0 Smart Phone 2003 project you can find directions on how this can be done here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dv_evtuv/html/etwlkauthoringcustomcontrolforsmartdeviceapplications.asp

  Hi Mattneug,
  
  You will need to use VS 2005 if you want to create a control library with NETCF V2. You will need to install the Magneto SDKs (PPC/SmartPhone) before you will find the templates for these devices.

  Hi Eebel,
  
  Yes you can. However, there is no template in VS 2005 that is specifically designed for custom control on SP 2003 since the UserControl class is not supported in NETCF V1. Your control will need to inherit from the Control class instead. You can follow the walkthrough below for more information on how this can be done:

  Is it possible to use VS 2005 to create a custom control that targets Smartphone 2003
