Develop for Smart Devices in Visual C++ Visual C++ developers no longer need to use different tools to develop for desktops and for smart devices. With Visual Studio 2005, you can use the same tools and methods for SmartPhone and Pocket PC development as for desktop and Web-based projects. Similar to desktop projects, native device project templates are integrated into the New Project Dialog Box, and include templates for ATL, MFC, and Win32 applications and DLLs. The complete device development environment also includes SDK integration, device cross-compilers, emulator, and remote deployment and debugging. Visual Studio 2005 is the first toolset to let developers have one native project that targets both device and desktop platforms. It allows developers to maintain a core common code while customizing the UI for various form factors and the handling of various data entry mechanisms. Now you can develop native applications for smart devices using C++, MFC, and ATL
