Windows Mobile - C# Express possible?

John Kennedy's blog [URL: http://blogs.msdn.com/johnkenn/ ] seemed to
hint that Windows Mobile software development was capable with C#
Express.

However, when viewing [URL: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-
us/library/bb158496.aspx ], it appears that only Visual Studio
Standard and above will work.

Being unfamiliar with compatibility issues, is it even possible with
Visual C# Express 2005+?

I would have just checked by installing, but my laptop is super old
and subsequently slow -- so it would have taken me hours and hours to
install (I figured it would install), and then run into errors (when
compiling or referencing assemblies).

Thanks for your time and patience!

For Visual Studio 2008 you need the Pro version.
You need a powerful PC to work with Visual Studio.

Just remember: The trial download can do the job, and you can use it for
free in three months.

It should still be possible to write the code in VS Express
and then build it for CF target - I don't know if MSBuild can,
but NAnt can.

I think it is possible, most probably the IDE jst pass a flag to indicate
under which platform it should compile.

Sorry for the late response, Arne!  Thanks a bunch for the suggestion.
