I am starting to develop Windows Mobile 6 apps using Windows Mobile SDK. I do not have Visual Studio 2008. Is there a way or work around to program using windows mobile SDK in Visual Studio 2010?
There is no support or work around for developing for Windows Mobile 6.x or 5.x in Visual Studio 2010 (w or wo SP1)

I have an old app that was developed in Visual Studio 2008 targeting Windows Mobile 6 devices (Intermec Handhelds). I needed to make few enhancements to the app and tried to open it in Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition but it is not supported. I thought of installing either VS2008 or VS2008 SP1, but I was unable to find the installers on Microsoft.com. Unfortunately, we are unable to upgrade our devices and so we are stuck with the Windows Mobile 6.
Any suggestions? Does anyone know if it is possible to develop Windows Mobile 6 apps using VS2015?
Thanks.
I am using Windows 7 and Visual Studio Express 2013. I have installed Windows Phone 7.1 SDK and Windows Phone 8.1 SDK. When i go to VS menu under DEBUG->Other Debug Targets->Debug Windows phone internet Explorer nothing appear under Target Device Dropdown list in order to choose emulator. Any ideas how to configure them?.
The Windows Phone 8.0 SDK include the ability to create apps for 7.1 and 8.0 so there should be no need to install the 7.1 SDK.
Developing apps for 7.x is not supported in Visual Studio 2013. If you must target 7.x devices you'll need to use VS2010 or VS2012.
If you want o build for Windows Phone 7.x you should use Visual Studio 2012. You can install this AND Visual Studio 2013 on the same machine.
Again one more thing is you can not build Windows Phone 8.1 apps on Windows 7 OS. So it is advisable to install windows 8.1 / 10 OS and install both VS2012 and VS2013.
I want to dive in into developing windows store apps. I am using visual studio express 2013 for desktop and my OS is windows 8.1. But when I want to follow a simple hello world project and I want to create a new project I am already limited in some way. I have to go to Installed > (I want to use C#) Visual C# > Universal or Windows Apps or Windows Phone Apps. But none of these 3 points are available when I want to follow the tutorial. Do you have any suggestions why this might be the case ?
To develop Windows Phone 8.1 apps, you need Visual Studio 2013 Express for Windows. You're using the version for Desktop which is why you don't see the necessary templates.
You can use the tools in Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows to
create innovative and compelling Windows Phone and Windows Store apps
on Windows 8.1.
You can find and download the Visual Studio 2013 Express for Windows here.
Today Microsoft released Windows 8 Release Preview and visual studio 2012 rc. I'm a Windows phone developer. What dev tool I have to use for create my apps in Windows 8 rp?
In Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 express download page, it is mentioned like
"A Visual Studio 2012 Express product for Windows Phone will be available in conjunction with the next Windows Phone release. Until then, you can continue to use Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone to create Windows Phone apps."

The Windows Phone 8 SDK is out now, for those that are still reading this. It includes the 7.1 and 7.1.1 as well, and all runs within Visual Studio 2012. You can get it here:

For Windows 8, install VS2010, the Windows Phone SDK, and don't forget the 7.1.1 SDK update that fixes problems with Windows 8.
Does Visual Studio 2010 support Windows Metro style applications?
I am going to build a Microsoft WP7 application. I have Visual Studio 2010 and I have installed SDK7.1. I am not getting Metro style as an option so what do I have to do?
You will need to get the Visual Studio 11 Dev Preview to start working on Metro apps. The Express version can be downloaded in the Windows 8 Dev Preview.
If you want to build a Windows Phone application, you can use Visual Studio 2010. If you want to build a Windows 8 Metro application, you need the Windows 8 and Visual Studio 11 developer previews as #Kenneth-Funk mentioned.
You can't convert your WP7 app to Win 8 Metro. You have to rewrite since you're moving from Silverlight to WinRT development.
