Has anyone written any VB apps that run on Windows CE? I need to write an app that
will run on this OS for PDA's. I know that C++ has some Windows CE libraries but what about VB?
Is there anything special that needs to be done in order for a VB app to run on CE?
Any Information or samples will be greatly appreciated!!!

You use the SDK for windows CE, it uses your normal Visual Basic IDE but adds a couple of new items to the project wizard, like New windows CE application. Visual Basic will not do it without the SDK. Also the RUN / Compile is integrated with your CE explorer. (for debugging) also this SDK only works on Windows NT/2000. Microsoft has a new sdk out as well called Microsoft Windows CE Platform Builder 3.0, I have never tried this one though.

I downloaded MS Embeded Visual Tools and that seems to be what I need. Thanks for the input.
