Creating the User Interface for the Windows Mobile Device Application

Import the SUP101 project in to Visual Studio 2008, configure the project, then download the tutorial code snippets from SyBooks Online Infocenter so you can create the application user interface.

Prerequisites

Install Windows Mobile 6 Professional SDK from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=06111a3a-a651-4745-88ef-3d48091a390b&displaylang=en.
Download the text files that contain the code snippets you need to build the user interface from the SUP_WM_Custom_Dev_Tutorial_code.zip file. The code snippets are used to create the Customers, Customer_Details, and Program C# files.
- If you are viewing this guide as a PDF, you can obtain the text files from the Sybase SyBooks Online Infocenter site at http://infocenter.sybase.com0. Select the appropriate version, navigate to this same topic page in the online tutorial, then click the link for the zip file to save the files locally.
- If you are viewing this guide online from the Sybase SyBooks Online Infocenter site, click SUP_WM_Custom_Dev_Tutorial_code.zip to access the text files.
- Extract the contents of the zip file to any convenient location except <workspace_for_Unwired_WorkSpace>\SUP101\Generated Code\src. As you work through this tutorial you generate code in that location that have the same names as the downloaded files.

Task

In the prior task, you generated C# Object API code from the MBO project. That file is located in your Eclipse workspace under ..\SUP101\Generated Code\src.

From <workspace_for_Unwired_WorkSpace>\SUP101\Generated Code\src, open SUP101.csproj in Visual Studio 2008.
Edit the project properties.
1. In Solution Explorer, under Solution 'SUP101' (1 project), right-click SUP101, then select Change Target Platform, then select Windows Mobile 6 Professional SDK, then OK.
2. Right-click SUP101 again, then select Properties.
3. In the Application tab, set Output type to Console Application.
4. In the Devices tab, set Target device to Windows Mobile 6 Professional Emulator .
5. Select File > Save All, then save the solution as SUP101.sln.

Creating the Customers Form
Create the user interface for the Customers form.
Creating the Customer Details Form
Create the user interface for the Customer_Details form.
Creating the Main Program File
Create the Program.cs file, which is the main entry point for the application.
