Development Task Flows

This section describes the overall development task flows, and provides information and procedures for setting up the development environment, and developing device applications.

This diagram illustrates how you can develop a device application directly from mobile business objects (MBOs), using the Object API and custom device application coding, as shown on the left. This is how you create device applications with sophisticated UI interaction, validation, business logic, and performance.

Optionally you can use Device Application Designer to create prototype device applications, as shown on the right.

• Task Flow for C# Development
  This describes a typical task flow for creating a device application using Visual Studio and C#.
• Task Flow for Device Application Designer and C# Development
  This describes a typical task flow for creating a device application prototype using the Device Application Designer with Visual Studio and C#.
• Configuring Your Windows Mobile Environment
  This section describes how to set up your Visual Studio development environment, and provides the location of required DLL files and client object APIs.
• Mobile Business Object Code or Device Application Designer Code
  Determine whether to develop a device application directly from mobile business object (MBO) generated code, or from Device Application Designer generated code, then generate the code according to your decision.
• Developing a Windows Mobile Device Application Using Visual Studio
  After you import Unwired WorkSpace projects (mobile application or Device Application Designer) and associated libraries into the development environment, use the Client Object API, Windows Device Framework, and native APIs to create or customize your device applications.
• Application Deployment to Devices
  Deploy mobile applications to devices and register the devices with Unwired Server.
