Hello everyone,

Is it possible to use VB.NET to write an application for a Palm PDA? And if
so, can anyone give me some direction as to where the best place to do
research on how to accomplish this?

Thanks!

I have also looked for the same, the best I could find is something called
crossfire which allows this but from what I read, you then have to have a
crossfire client on the palm as well which is $25 per license.

That's not supported out of the box.

You can look at AppForge products (www.appforge.com). These are not part of
..NET, but are add-in(s), and are licensed separately.
