we have developed a program on Motorola's EMDK 2.8 for .net for Motorola MC3090G and it worked just fine, but when running on MC3090Z it did not work and we wonder if the EMDK 2.8 for .net supports the MC3090Z RFID.
For the device MC3090Z, the only EMDK one can use is the 2.5 for .NET, from EMDK 2.6 and upwards only compatible with MC3190Z
Actually if you have your MC3090Z up to date with the correct .Net CF and OS, and current DLLs installed, then you'll be able to develop many type of software using any version of EMDK for .Net. But there are some specific APIs and DLLs depending on hardware requirements you won't be able to use. In order to help a little bit with documentation you may check these links out from official Motorola website:
a link to EMDK for .Net filtered search
Enter on current v2.5 and further versions and go to the Release Notes link on Public Software section. You'll notice in the table from Device Compatibility section the devices approved for each version which means best compatible rates between hardware and software.
I think you should know also the best way to test this is deploying directly to your Mobile device from Visual Studio IDE
Hope this may be usefull

I am developing a scanner program to be compatible with WinCE 5/6/7 platform.
Since VS 2008 is out of MS support, I am looking for a later version of VS to develop the program. However after trying out different third party tools (like toradex etc.) not able to get any conclusion. For VS 2015 there is .Net compact framework 3.9 which supports only WinCE 8 platform not the prior versions.
Request for your advice to proceed further. In case I need to post under a different category, please suggest.
Thanks,
Sam
Unfortunately VS2008 is the latest dev tool supporting those OS releases. You should be able to get together with platform builder from a windows embedded distributor or as part of an msdn subscription where you should be able to download previous releases. I say "should" because Ms license terms and distribution policies may have changed since the last time I checked this.
I'm new to Microsoft Dynamics development so apologies if this question is basic.
I'm looking to publish a plugin to a Dynamics E3 instance for testing/development, and it seems like I need to use the Plugin Registration Tool to do this. I've found https://xrm.tools/SDK, but it seems like there's no option to run these on a Mac (my development environment).
Is my best option here to use a Windows machine, or is there an SDK for Unix-based systems?
The SDK is currently Windows only, on the full .NET Framework.
Microsoft has said they'll be delivering a .NET Core-compatible version of the SDK at some point, which should open up SDK development on other platforms.
Beyond that, the release of .NET 5 (slated for November 2020) will unify the .NET Framework into single version across all platforms.
Until the .NET Core version comes out, you can use the Web API to develop apps on other platforms.
I just started to study Nemerle. Since this is .NET language, I wonder, is possible to use for Windows Phone development? Does Visual Studio support it well?
Nemerle compiler uses System.Reflection.Emit for assembly manipulations. Then it can create assemblies same CLR version only.
I know only one reciepe for build WP assemblies: ildasm ncc.exe, fix all references to WP framework and ilasm it again.
This may not be possible, since Windows Phone runs a subset of the full .NET Framework which is closer to the .NET Compact Framework.
Looking at this page (translated from Russian) it looks like Compact Framework support is something that is/was planned for Nemerle version 2. However that article was written before Jetbrains acquired the project, so objectives may have changed.
Having said that, much more recently (Feb 2013) one of the Nemerle developers spoke about their difficulties in getting Nemerle to support other frameworks. So perhaps it is on their agenda after all.
The international manufacturing company that I am working for is considering moving from Windows to Linux. The only reason for this that I am aware of is that the Windows automatic updates occassionaly cause some of their applications to fail. Apparently, they do not know how to turn this off. What other reasons they may have, I do not know (cost, the mobile phone effect?). My question is does Linux or some popular variant of Linux have a development environment equivalent in power and functionality to Microsoft .Net other than what Java offers, the Linux version of .Net (Mono) offers, or running Windows as a virtual machine on Linux?
It's kind of unclear what you are looking for... a Mono IDE that runs on Linux?
Have you looked at http://monodevelop.com/ ? It's not Visual Studio, but it's really not bad as IDE's go, and I think it's cross-compatible with VS project files. Should be packages available for any major Linux distro -- I know all the Debian based ones have it.
Mono's API is pretty compatible with .NET, though there are differences in some of the supporting libraries. There are apache extensions to do ASP.NET, but they are fiddly to get set up correctly.
It's a usable platform though, and it's possible to write Mono code that's 100% .NET compatible if you stay away from certain assemblies that haven't been ported yet.
I know I am 9 months late. You may have found your solution. You may look at IronPython.
Can I develop an application targeted to run on CE 5.0 using the Visual Studio 2005/CE 6.0 development environment? Or do I need to find the CE 5.0 development downloads on microsoft.com rather than the latest CE 6.0 ones?
Having been 'given' a hardware platform of an ARM based touch device running CE 5.0, along with an SDK from the device's manufacturer, I am now looking at the feasibility of porting our C++, VS2008 built, Windows XP/Vista/7 application to run on the smaller platform.
This is our first foray into the world of CE, so please forgive any ignorance on the subject.
This question is a bit old and possibly stale at this point, but I thought I'd toss in an answer for future views on the subject. After all, as much as I like CE 5.0, its a bit old and stale itself. :)
First off, understand that Visual Studio 2005 and the CE 6 dev environment are two distinct entities. While CE 6 runs as something of a plug-in for and depends upon VS 2005, the converse is not true. So if you’re doing CE 5.0 application development, you can just as easily do it with (standalone) VS 2005 as VS 2008, so long as you have a suitable SDK with which to link your Smart Device project.
As for developing for or porting to a CE 5.0 platform, you’ll definitely need to stick with the CE 5.0 bits only. Consider CE 6.0 to be a completely different OS with a completely different memory model, user/access paradigm, etc. Microsoft provides the Standard SDK for Windows CE 5.0 as a free download, available here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=fa1a3d66-3f61-4ddc-9510-ae450e2318c3
Note that the SDK linked to by JoelHess is for Windows Mobile 5.0, which differs in significant ways from Windows CE 5.0.
Alternately, you mention an SDK from the device manufacturer…this type of custom SDK typically includes all or significant portions of the Standard SDK plus the device-specific components required to get your platform up-and-running.
A final point: you only mention developing an application targeted to CE 5.0, but if you also need to be able to build the platform image, you’ll need Platform Builder 5.0. A 120-day eval edition is available from Microsoft (unable to post a second link due to my obvious newb-ness).
I'd recommend sticking with the v5 stuff. You could probably get binaries that would run, but none of the debugging tools would work.
Here's a link to the SDK:
