Developing Applications for the CN2G

The CN2G Handheld Computers run applications programmed in Microsoft Embedded Visual C++. The CN2G can also run applications developed for the .NET Compact Framework using Microsoft C# and Visual Basic .NET.

Use this section to understand what you need to:

•Develop a new application for the CN2G.

•Develop a web-based application for the CN2G.

Developing a New Application

Use the Intermec Developer’s Toolkits for AIT-III CD to help develop your C++ and .NET applications. The CD contains two toolkits, the Intermec AIT-III Developer’s Toolkit and the Intermec AIT-III .NET Developer’s Toolkit. The toolkits include hardware and software requirements, all of the functions that are supported by the CN2G, and instructions on how to use these functions.

The Developer’s Toolkits for AIT-III is available on CD (P/N 074925) or as a download from the Intermec web site at www.intermec.com/AIT.

You need these hardware and software components to use the

Intermec toolkits:

•Pentium PC, 400 MHz or higher

•Windows 2000 (Service Pack 2 or later) or Windows XP (Home, Professional, or Server)

•For native C++ development, Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ version 4.0 with eVC++ Service Pack 2

•For .NET Development and Compact Framework (C# and VB.NET), Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003

•128MB RAM (196MB recommended)

•360MB hard drive space for minimum installation (720MB for complete)
