Are there any good programming environments/IDEs for Windows Mobile devices?

Question

By this, I don\'t mean PC-based development environments (like Visual Studio) for developing and deploying Windows Mobile applications. Rather, I mean an IDE that runs on W

Answer 1

I know of no such thing, and I doubt it would be a good idea; as such I don't think any such thing exists.

It would be a cool project for you to write though, I can't imagine it would be that hard. You would just need a compiler that runs on the WM platform.

Wait; I found this:

Answer 2

Over the past year or so I have been searching regularly for new developer tools for use on Windows Mobile based devices and have come across many. I currently have installed on my device PythonCE, eTcl, dsForth, PocketLogo (The documents which comes with it is in German though), Rebol, and Pocket Scheme.

Development tools which I have heard about but not tried are Pocket GCC, PocketC, Lua, J, Pocket Programming Language and Pocket C#

A good website to find other interpreters is www.rainer-keuchel.de, unfortunately though it seems the author has been inactive for quite sometime.

Here is a link to a thread on on mobilitysite.com with some useful findings.

If I find anything new I'll come back and update.

Answer 3

You could try Basic4PPC (www.basic4ppc.com).

It's a great programming-enviroment (based on the NET framework) with a very active and numerous user-community. There is also a version of the IDE which can be used on the device.
