Developing a Windows Mobile Device Application

Generate code for the Windows Mobile platform based on the MBOs, add additional code to develop a Windows Mobile device application, and test its functionality.

Prerequisites

Note: This tutorial was created using Sybase Unwired Platform 2.2 SP02, Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 3.5, Windows Mobile 6.5.3 DTK, and Visual Studio 2008, and executed on a Windows Mobile 6.5.3 Professional emulator. If you use different versions, some steps may vary.

Complete the tasks in Getting Started with Unwired Platform.
Install Visual Studio 2008.
Install Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 3.5 from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=e3821449-3c6b-42f1-9fd9-0041345b3385&displaylang=en, if it was not installed with Visual Studio.
Either:
- create the MBO project by completing Tutorial: Mobile Business Object Development, or
- download and deploy the MBO SUP101 example project (complete project files) from the SAP® Community Network: http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-8803.
Note: If you upgrade Sybase Mobile SDK after completing the tutorial, you can convert the project to the current SDK by importing the earlier project into the Unwired Workspace and then accepting the confirmation prompt.
(Optional) To use as a reference and copy source code when completing this tutorial, download the 2.2 SP02 version of the Windows Mobile SUP 101 example project (source code only) from the SAP ® Community Network: http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-8803.

Task

The device application communicates with the database mobile business objects that are deployed to Unwired Server.

Installing Microsoft Synchronization Software
Install and configure Microsoft synchronization software so you can deploy and run a mobile application on a Windows Mobile emulator.
Generating C# Object API Code
Generate Object API code for Windows Mobile devices.
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 SAP Community Network (SCN) so you can create the application user interface.
Deploying and Running the Device Application
Deploy the device application to a Windows Mobile 6.5.3 device emulator, and test its functionality.
