Does anyone know anything about VB.NET? Okay, correct me if I am wrong... but if I created an application w/VB.NET for the PC... is it transferable to PPC (is that only after recompile?)? W/out change of code? What would be the differences in interface? I thought I heard this to be the case... but I don't know anything about eVB nor .net...just VB. Could someobdy inform me on .net and eVB? Difference w/eVB vs. .net? I wanted to design some apps w/either (if .net, then I guess I would have to buy .net). And hopefully some games...

I have evb and it is basically a cut down version of vb to allow you to create apps on a handheld.

.net has brought evb into the .net foldvia it's mobile framework which I guess you could say is the extra functions etc that you need to write software on a handheld.

When you start .net it asks you of you want to create an app for a handhel IF you have the mobile framework installed.

I had a look at vb.net and "whoa, hold the phone", I couldn't tranfer what I considered to be a simple app to .net without it complaining that I didn't instatiate this, or declare that, even for a simple textbox control it seemed you had to write the first chapter of war and peace.

I am sure there are more learned ones who will be able to give you more detail than I have here.
