- CodeBase for Windows CE
from Sequiter Software. CodeBase for Windows
CE is a database engine for C/C++ or VB programmers that offers very low memory overhead,
a small disk footprint and exceptional performance. In addition to CE, CodeBase is
portable to Windows NT, 9x, UNIX, Mac, OS/2 and DOS, allowing you to create solutions that
support both local and remote users. CodeBase offers FoxPro file compatibility, royalty
free distribution, and includes complete source code. CodeBase is available on a trial
basis, and includes a full 30-day money-back guarantee and free technical support.
- Visual CE from Syware. Visual CE, the World's Most Popular
Forms Builder for Windows CE, is the fastest and easiest way to create forms-based
applications for Windows CE devices. Visual CE forms based applications allow you to use
your Windows CE device to collect, display, modify, and synchronize your data. Using
Visual CE, you can design forms on your desktop PC or your H/PC, then run them on any
Windows CE device. Each Visual CE form is actually a compact application associated with a
Windows CE database. The database can be empty initially, or you can initialize it with
data from you desktop PC. Visual CE has already won rave reviews from CELair, WinCE
City,and Handheld Systems.
- Pocket C Version 2 from OrbWorks. This is a standard C compiler that
enables you to create C applets directly on your device. A runtime version is
required to run the applets on devices that don't have Pocket C. The runtime is
available for free and can be distributed with applets.
- NSBasic from NS Basic Corporation. NS
Basic/CE is a complete BASIC toolkit that runs entirely on a Windows CE device. It uses
Microsoft's standard VBScript engine as its core, combined with extensions to create a
complete development and runtime environment. NS Basic/CE provides a full, modern
implementation of BASIC, with proper subroutines, variant data types and no line numbers.
VBScript is built into the ROM of many H/PCs, keeping memory requirements low. Costs $99.
