The next generation of Windows Mobile-based devices will not support eVB applications. Developers will need to migrate their eVB applications to the new world of the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework and Visual Basic.NET. Windows Mobile 2003-based devices do not contain the eVB runtimes although they are available as an unsupported download. It is not possible to debug an eVB application running on Windows Mobile 2003-based Pocket PCs. For many developers, this transition provides an opportunity to revisit and update old applications. It also provides an opportunity to extend their applications to Windows Mobile 2003-based Smartphones which include the .NET Compact Framework in ROM.
