Does Visual CE work with Microsoft Visual Basic, Visual C++, Visual Studio .NET?
Visual CE is a self contained development environment. Forms created with Visual CE cannot be used directly as input forms for Visual Basic or Visual C++ programs. However, from your Visual CE application, you can launch Visual Basic, Visual C++, Visual Studio .NET programs. Likewise Visual Basic, Visual C++, and Visual Studio .NET can launch a Visual CE application. Data can be passed from one to the other through the database. Visual CE’s tables reside in the Windows CE Database Object Store, a Pocket Access database, or a SQL Server CE database. If the tables were created using Pocket Access or SQL Server CE, they can be accessed using the operating system’s database APIs. If the table were created using Visual CE, they can be accessed through the operating system’s APIs. You can also pass values to a Visual CE application by setting a Visual CE variable in your application. You do this by using the /a command line switch on the Visual CE runtime.
