It can be done no problem with Visual Studio 2005 (I'm using 2008 now and have removed 2005 so I can't give you the exact steps, but I did several PDA apps with 2005). For the database, you can either connect remotely or use MS SQL CE locally.

Create project | Smart Device | Smart Device Project Name it and click OK Select Target platform and .NET Compact Framework Version then Device Application. There are differences between .NET [standard] and .NET Compact but *most* things will pretty much work by copying and pasting your code from your existing app. You can connect to any database you like, but because of potential connection issues, any data that needs to be stored locally should be done in MS SQL CE and synchronized later (either over the internet/LAN or active sync). Just goto the normal Data menu and do/add what you need. You can debug either in the built in Emulator or to your device if it's connected to the dev machine. This is the painful bit as it can take a while!

Visual Basic is not used by normal people so we're not covering it here. (Uncyclopedia) -
