It's possible to develop in .Net to build apps to a Palm OS device like a Palm T|X, because i'm a Visual Basic developer, not a .Net, but i'm studing to develop in .Net, because is a better language, but i'm using the Handheld Basic ++ and the NSBasic to develop for my Palm, but if i can develop in .Net it will be better, but if it's impossible, someone can post please, a link or post here a good tutorial of: How to develop an application that uses a database using NSBasic 4.4 or the Handheld Basic. Thanks! And sorry about my english!

1.NET isn't a language: It's a framework. .NET has multiple languages in it; such as Visual Basic.NET, C#, et. al. – George Stocker Jul 06 '09 at 17:27

Not directly to the Palm OS since it is a Linux variant. There used to be a application called AppForge Crossfire but it has not been in production for a few years. You could also look into Java programming for the Palm OS as well.

In, short: no you can't
Longer: Wellcome to the "real" world. .Net technology is not cross platform.

You should say: the leading .NET *implementation* is not cross-platform. – Cecil Has a Name Sep 09 '09 at 21:07

Your one and only chance to do what you're after doesn't exist - yet.
What you (would) want is Mono, which provides an OSS CLR to run your .Net binaries on. You'll also have to develop with something that provides a cross-platform interface, which means you won't be able to whip up something in Visual Studio and just plunk it down on the device.
However, Mono doesn't run there yet, and I don't think Microsoft has any plans to provide outside platforms direct support. So, you're not going to get "there" from "here", without a major effort in porting something like Mono to your platform.
