Summary
In this chapter, we introduced the Windows mobile platform for smart device development, including the .NET CF. Then we looked at the tools for developing smart device applications in Visual Studio. As an example, we dissected the Pocket PC version of the FotoVision smart client application.
We also discussed deploying smart device applications, including the OTA, MSI, and sneakernet approaches. Often, you need to use a variety of deployment approaches. For example, you may need to use sneakernet for the initial deployment, and then use OTA for updates. Finally, we introduced some of the up-and-coming features in Visual Studio 2005.
In the next chapter, we’ll discuss a feature that is common to all of the various types of smart clients: offline support.
