3.4 Application program development The FPC-8057 is bundled with built-in Windows CE.NET operating
system and with Compact Framewrok. In real applications users need to
execute various applications programs on it. However, unlike its other
family the Windows CE.NET is a hardware-dependent operating system. That
is to say, Windows CE.NET application programs are only portable in the
source code level. Users must rebuild the runtime file for a different
Windows CE.NET platform even though the source code may not be
changed at all.

tools. Visual Studio.NET or eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0.
