Asked By Davidw

I am very confuesd with all kind of the Windos CE / .Net /SDK version.

Example:
What is: Windows CE.NET 5.0.

I thought that this is windows 5.0 system that I can use the Windows 5.0 sdk
to develop applications.

But I learnet that this is a Windows CE 4.2 system that I need Pocket PC
2003 / Windows Mobile 2003 Sdk to work with.

Where I can find a Table or some information about this.

Thanks,
David.

There is no table.

There is no table.  You need to use the SDK for the device that you are
targeting.  If you are targeting Windows Mobile or it predecessors, there is
a single SDK for each version of the WM OS.

I will add briefly to Bruce's answer:

Windows CE is not *a* thing for which you can have *an* SDK.  Windows CE is
configurable.  The device vendor can leave out any number of components.  As
a result, you need to have an SDK for the specific configuration of the OS
which you are targeting (for example, you can build a Windows CE
configuration with no user interface *at all*; it makes no sense to have the
declarations for CreateWindow(), etc. if they do not exist in the OS).  Pocket
PC versions are standardized configurations defined by Microsoft, so you can
use the Pocket PC 2003 SDK with any Pocket PC 2003 device, but that is not
generally true of random Windows CE devices.
