As I'm a mere newbie, I was just watching this discussion. However, I
think there is a topic not touched on yet.
I talked to a friend who is a WinCE developer and he is working with
VC++
because VB is too slow in handheld devices. So, we "must" use MSVC++
to work in WinCE.
I'm have no experience with VC. I'm using eHand's DLL (EHConnect.Dll)
to build my conduit, and VC is an additional problem wich I don't want,
at least, for now.
My question:
Is MSVC++ more dificult to work than CW?
Does anyone know if the learning curves are the same?
If VB is now fast enough to use, which resources or features were
"cut" to do this?
Ok, Microsoft is giving away its developing kit. But, is it good?
