I've installed Express C# but as i just purchased a new PocketPC
device with Windows Mobile 6 it stroke me that it could be very
nice to write an application for just my device.

Is that possible in the Express version or do i need the full and
painfully expensive version of Visual Studio for that?

Konrad,

   It doesn't look like you can develop using the Compact Framework on the
Express editions.  I can't seem to find anything about supporting the
Compact Framework in the product documentation.

You'll need at least the Professional Edition [1] in order to develop for
mobile devices.

That was bad news. Thanks for the answer, though.
I'm guessing i can still write the code but the testing will be painfully
inconvenient, right? I mean, i'll have to compile the project and
move it to my handheld and see how it works, right?

Or are you trying to tell me that i'll be unable to compile a project to
be runnable on a Windows Mobile device?! That'd be REALLY bad news...
