Handhold computers
Anders Balslev
I do not know whether this newsgroup is the correct one. If not, I apologize
I'm starting a project to develop an application to Windows CE on a handhold
computer.
Can this be done from a Delphi platform in BDS2006?

By "handheld" I presume you mean "Windows Mobile."
Not easily. You can do it in .NET Compact Framework, but it's not
fully supported, and not really supported at all in D2007. There is no
support for ARM-"native" compilation.
I've seen some tools that let you do a server-based app (running on a
machine to which the handheld is wirelessly linked, and displaying in a
terminal services window on the handheld), but from your question it's
not clear that this would work for you. But these work with any
x86/Windows language.

I am working on the same thing. See the Syware Link.
They can synchronize to a Microsoft DB if needed -- or you can
synchronize to Interbase if you fiddle enough with the ODBC link -- but
you might have to pass through an Access DB
Windows Mobile 5.0 it is... and you will probably have to write in VB or
C# if you don't like the Syware.

Probably not. Those handhelds generally don't have an x386-compatible
processor. I'm not sure if you could use .NET CF and the .NET compiler.
Might work, might not.
