Question bout coding style

1 replies · 2,281 views · Started 09 March 2005

I understand that MobileVB/Crossfire are able to use Visual studio. NET (VB and C++), what i want to make sure before i buy their product and start developing applications, are the coding just the same like developing normal windows apps, or are there different coding styles i need to learn to develop mobile?

Can n e 1 recommend book that can program vb.net mostly, tutorials sites, open source sites, downloadable resource sites? Im planning to make a remote access appplication through mobile device for my project.

The basics are the same, however there may be some differences in regards to database access and manipulating the application...

These aren't major differences, and with a solid grounding of VB/VB.NET you shouldn't take too long to get around these.

A year ago we started a project for P800/P900's and I had no knowledge of Mobile VB at all, only VB6. I now can do quite a bit with Mobile VB, and our 120 P900's in the field are working with great results and improved efficiency for our field staff!

Various forums (Like this one and Tek-tips.com) are quite helpful. The help within Mobile VB/Crossfire will give some guidance also.
