Hi ppl,

If this is OT.. plz forgive... cant find any more suitable managed
newsgroup.

I am interested in mobile development but i dont want to recode my web app.
Possible to create a VB app with embedded browser for Mobile development?
(WM 5.0 only)
Is this even a GOOD idea? Also, will we be able to solve the VGA/QVGA
problem with this?

Thank you for your time.

Hi Lim,

Do you want to create a VB app on a desktop PC to simulate the pocket pc
browser or you want to create the app on your pocket pc to open certain
webpage? Also, is it a VB app or VB.NET app?

Hi Lim,

Are you working on VS.NET 2005? If so, you can utilize the WebBrowser
control in .NET compact framework 2.0 directly. If you're working on
previous version of Visual Studio, please use the ActiveX control named
AxWebBrower. HTH.
