Setting up the development environment for developing with the Windows application framework
The ArcGIS for Windows Mobile application is built using the ArcGIS for Windows Mobile SDK and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) with .NET Framework 3.5sp1. To extend the application with its application framework, you need all of these components set up correctly with the development environment and Microsoft Visual Studio.
ArcGIS Mobile components
When you install ArcGIS for Windows Mobile and the Software Development Kit (SDK) on the development machine, there are multiple libraries located in different folders. The assemblies installed with the SDK for writing tools that work at the core level are installed under the SDK folder. The libraries needed to run the Windows application and develop with the application framework are in the application install folder. The Visual Studio project templates and item templates are installed in the Visual Studio folder.
