ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Windows Mobile - Creating your first custom extension

ArcGIS Mobile ships with a few project templates and item templates (C# only). These templates are installed by the ArcGIS Mobile setup and configured to work seamlessly with Visual Studio 2008.

Learn more details on how to use ArcGIS Mobile project templates.

ArcGIS Mobile item templates can be used as any other item templates from Visual Studio. For the application framework (Windows Mobile), the following four item templates are included so that you can add them as new items to your existing project:

ArcGIS Mobile Dialog
ArcGIS Mobile Page
ArcGIS Mobile Task
ArcGIS Mobile Project Extension

To add a new item to your existing project, right-click your project in Solution Explorer and choose Add > New Item. The Add New Item dialog box appears.

The dialog box lists all available item templates in the Categories pane. Click ArcGIS Mobile > Smart Device. Choose one from the list on the right panel, give it a name, then click Add to proceed.

Visual Studio automatically adds it as a new item to your project using the same name space as your existing project.
