Creating a Project in Visual Studio

Create a project for your Windows or Windows Mobile device application in Visual Studio.

Prerequisites
On Windows 8, you must manually enable the .NET 3.5 Framework using the Windows Features control panel applet before running any applications that require the .NET 3.5 Framework.
Task

  1. From the Visual Studio main menu select File > New > Project.
  2. Select:
    • Target platform:
      • Windows Mobile 6.0, 6.1, and 6.5 Professional
      • Windows
    • Library version – .NET version 3.5
    • Language – the language used in the resource DLLs, to be included in the generated project.

    Different sets of DLLs are included in the project based on your selections. The project contains all assemblies and runtime support DLLs required to access the Object API.

  3. Click OK to generate the Visual Studio Project.
  4. Build the Solution. From the Visual Studio main menu, select Build > Build Solution.
    The DLLs are copied to the target directory and the directory structure is flattened.
    Once generated and built, you can write custom mobile applications based on your selections.
  5. Develop the mobile business objects (MBOs) that implement the business logic.
    See these online help topics:
    • SAP Mobile WorkSpace - Mobile Business Object Development > Develop > Developing a Mobile Business Object
  6. Use the Code Generation wizard to generate the C# Object API code for the mobile business object.
  7. Add the generated code to the new project you created from the template.
