In the webcast, presenter Jim Wilson discusses creating "adaptive applications" that can run on a broad range of Windows Mobile Devices, giving end users more or less functionality depending on the available features of their device, Microsoft says. "Successfully developing and deploying Windows Mobile applications requires up-front planning for compatibility across devices," the company adds.
Microsoft's webcast demonstrates use of device emulators to help create adaptive applications
(Click to enlarge)Last week, Microsoft offered a webcast that
focused on adapting applications to differing Windows Mobile screen sizes. This week's webcast again mentions the issue of screen resolution, but also deals with other factors, such as whether or not devices include telephony or GPS receivers. The sixty-minute presentation includes not only slides, but also video showing the use of tools such as the Windows Mobile device emulators included with Visual Studio, as shown above.
Presenter Jim Wilson is president of
JW Hedgehog, Inc., a New Hampshire-based consulting firm specializing in solutions, content creation, and mentoring for Windows Mobile software, Microsoft says. He writes frequently for MSDN, has worked extensively with the Microsoft .NET Framework and Microsoft .NET Compact Framework (CF) since the original beta release of each, and has more than 14 years of relational database programming, the company adds.
