Creating a .NET Micro Framework Application

Using Visual Studio, you can create custom programs to run on devices you are also developing.

For devices based on the .NET Micro Framework, a device’s firmware is the framework, its libraries, and the libraries provided by your development board vendor. An application is the specific program that you write for your hardware and that the framework’s CLR executes when the device starts.

This Quickstart demonstrates how to create a .NET Micro Framework application. The application targets the emulator that ships with the .NET Micro Framework Platform SDK.
