Re: WinCE 5.0 v.s. Pocket PC 2003

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

My question is, are they compatible? (I am developing native unmanaged C++
application)

Maybe.

1. If I build Windows CE 5.0 project, could it run on Pocket PC 2003
device
or emulator?

Maybe. If you use features not available in the PocketPC then no. If it's
compiled for a different processor no.

2. If I build Pocket PC 2003 project, could it run on Windows CE 5.0
device
or emulator?

Maybe. If you use Pocket PC specific APIs or features not available in your
generic CE device then no.

3. What are the differences?

Windows CE is modular, so there's no "what's the difference" answer. Pocket
PC is a subset of Windows CE features with the addition of some Pocket
PC-specific features.
