Visual Studio - Casio IT-3100 Series Quick Start Manual

9. Visual Studio

This chapter explains the development procedure of the application that uses the following
development platforms.
- Visual Studio 2008
- Visual Studio 2005
- Visual Studio .Net 2003
• The functions of the Common Device Control Library which control various individual devices
integrated in the IT-3100 have different name spaces and names from those available for the
previous CASIO handheld terminals. They are not compatible with the ones in the previous
CASIO library. The exceptions are DT-X11 and IT-600 which do use the same libraries.
• VB or C# applications developed with Visual Studio .NET 2003, but not with the CASIO
dedicated libraries will run on the IT-3100.
• Applications developed with any functions of CASIO dedicated library must be rewritten by
replacing the dedicated functions with the appropriate functions from the Common Device
Control Library.
• New applications for the IT-3100 can be developed using either VB or C# in Visual Studio
2005.
• It is recommended that Visual Studio .NET 2003 is used to modify applications developed using
that tool for other handheld terminals when porting them to the IT-3100.
• However, if Visual Studio 2005 is used to make modifications, the solution/project from Visual
Studio .NET 2003 is automatically upgraded by Visual Studio 2005. This may result in different
configuration of the output folder according to the parameter settings for the project file. Please
take care when using Visual Studio 2005 to upgrade an existing application and always keep a
backup of your existing project.
