Visual studio express edition does not support mobile devices.
You would need the full VS 2005 and that costs a lot. (Not that great either. My work station is 2.4GHz with 256MB RAM and it almost kills it).

What you should get is the free eVC 4 (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=1DACDB3D-50D1-41B2-A107-FA75AE960856&displaylang=en) + service pack 4 + WM 2003 SDK.
Any program written with that will work fine on WM 5 and you can always manually unpack and add the WM 5 SDK if you want easy access to some extra APIs (very few of those).

Get any Visual Studio 2005 edition just not Express.

Visual studio 2005 pro.. install it, and after that go to msdn website search for Windows mobile 5.0 SDK download it and install it..

Try SYSBASE Pocketbuilder. It's a lot quicker to get things done. I have both products and we do most things in pocket builder now.

I use Visual Studio 2005 Profession Edition and I run it on my desktop which is a 3Ghz, 512MB RAM machine and it runs really quickly.
