Does VS2010 support Windows-mobile projects? - visual-studio-2010

I have Visual-studio 2010 prot and I am trying to create a Windows-mobile or Windows-CE project, but I don't see how to do it.
Can anyone help ?

No, Window Mobile development is not available in VS 2010. You must use VS 2008.
If you want to do Windows Phone 7, you can (and must) use VS 2010, but it is not the same as Windows Mobile (i.e. Smart Device) development on the Compact Framework.
Here's the official word: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/sa69he4t.aspx

For VS 2010 there is Visual Studio Phone. You can check VS 2010 Phone.
You can find there a lot more for windows phone development.

No, it is unsupported, you have to use Visual Studio 2005 or Visual Studio 2008.
On Visual Studio 2010 you can target Windows Phone 7 applications: http://www.microsoft.com/express/phone/

You can go here and vote to have Microsoft add Compact Framework Support for Visual Studio 2010.

Create Windows 8.1 Store App with Visual Studio

I am interested to port one of my windows applications so that I can distribute my app in the Microsoft Store. Target platform will
be Windows 8.1 because I am not running Windows 10.
I am using Visual Studio Community 2017. I tried to follow this guide from Microsoft
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt203664.aspx
to create a Windows 8.1 Store app with Visual Studio but it seems that the described functionality is not available at
Visual Studio Community 2017. Also I cannot find any related Windows Store 8.1 Project Template at Visual Studio Community 2017.
So which is the latest available Visual Studio version which supports creating Windows 8.1. Store Apps?
Regards
Michael
Windows 8.1 Store app development is not available in Visual Studio 2017. You should use Visual Studio 2015 instead.

VS2010 and Windows 8.1

I've been developing with VB 2010 and Windows 7 for years.
Are there any "issues" I should be aware off when migrating VB2010 over to Windows 8.1
Any advice will be much appreciated.
John
Make sure you install the latest service packs and hotfixes to be fully compatible with Windows 8 and above:
Visual Studio 2010
Visual Studio 2010 SP1
Visual Studio 2010 GDR for Team Foundation Service
Visual Studio 2010 Compatibility Update for Windows 8 and Visual Studio 2012
You will need to upgrade your Visual Studio version to 2013 in order to build Windows 8 and 8.1 apps, but as long as you're targeting a Desktop application, you should be fine.
I have used visual studio 2010 on windows 8.1 and windows 10 so far I did not have any issues working on both the OS.
I am using visual studio 2010 professional with sp1
Me too have been using the VS 2010 Professional on windows 7 and I migrated to Windows 8.1.
Usually I develop console apps, desktop apps and I mostly use Access Databases as the database for my programs..
And also I use C# and VB..
So far I havent had any issue with VS2010 on windows 8.1.
That is my experience about that and I hope this will be a help for you.. :)
Thanks

Windows Mobile development in Visual Studio 2010

I just pulled the 2010 ultimate from MSDN, and I see there's no "Smart Device" options anymore. Does anybody knows how to enable it, or how to install it?
Sincerely,
Yvan
According to various sources in the net Visual Studio 2010 doesn't support Windows Mobile 6.5 development (see here and here for example). Of course there might be an SDK available in the future. For now, you need to use Visual Studio 2008.
Now you can with windows phone SDK7.1 You just need Visual Studio 2010 SP1 and download the Windows Phone SDK 7.1 from here
