  • Did you mean Windows Mobile? Because for all intents and purposes, Pocket PC is dead. – mvp Aug 16 '13 at 07:29

You will need Visual Studio Professional 2003-2008, and 2008 is preferred.

It is getting difficult to find Visual Studio 2008 Professional, though. Dare I say: You may have to resort to pirating it off a torrent site.

After 2008, Microsoft stopped supporting PocketPC and Windows Mobile in Visual Studio.

You can not use the Express versions of Visual Studio, because they have no way to create a Device Project.

You could even go older and get eMbedded VC, but it may only work on Windows XP machines, not Vista or Win7. Be warned: VS2008 is so much faster to create your apps with.
