Part 7 – C# Application with Visual Studio 2005

Visual Studio 2005 can be used to develop native and managed code applications for CE 6.0.

This section will go thru the process to show how to connect the eBox-2300 to a development

station with Visual Studio 2005 while developing a managed code application using Visual Basic

or Visual C#. For the exercise in this section, we will use Visual C#. The steps should be

similar for developing with Visual Basic within Visual Studio 2005.

Note: Project files for this exercise are provided in the ..\VC#_Sample directory on the CD.

Step 1: Create a New Visual Studio 2005 C# Project

From Visual Studio 2005 IDE, Select File | New | Project, the following new project screen will

appear.

Fig. 29 - VS2005 IDE / New Project

On the left hand side, expand “Visual C#” and “Smart Device” folders to select “Windows CE

5.0. On the right side of the screen, select “Device Application”, enter “eBox2300_Demo” as

the project name and click “Ok”.

After the project is created, let’s add some simple code to the application.

• Resize the Form to a smaller size (320x240) to make it easy to see the application when it

runs on CE 6.0.

• Change the Form caption to “eBox2300 Visual C# Demo”

• Add a text-box to the form, change the name to textHelloWorld, and clear the content in

the text-box

• Add a button to the form, change the name to buttonHelloWorld, and change the text on

the button’s caption to “Hello World”

Add the following code to the “buttonHelloWorld_Click” event.

textHelloWorld.Text = "Hello World.";
