Setting up the latest development tools

First install Visual Studio 2008, I usually un-select Visual Basic but it can sometimes be handy if you come across any open-source VB software you need to port. Run it once to check it is OK then quit.

Install the Windows Mobile 6 SDK Refresh. Both Standard and Professional.

Install the Windows Mobile 6.1 Emulator Images. Again, install both Standard and Professional.

Now run Visual Studio 2008 and create a C# smart device project, choosing an application and .NET 3.5 and the WM6 SDK. Now check in the deploy drop down that you have the 6.1 emulators listed.

That's it! You are now set up with the latest Compact Framework development tools.
