I have some handheld computers that are running Windows Mobile 6.5. I tried to open an old application that was created using Visual Studio 2012 but it wouldn't let me edit anything. I have looked all over and it appears I have to get an old version of Visual Studio to make changes to the app for Windows Mobile 6.5?
Yes, Visual Studio 2008 is the latest version with support for Windows Mobile 6.5.x
You have to install it and the Windows Mobile 6.5 SDK from Microsoft as well.

I have visual studio 2012.
I want to develop a windows 10 app.
Is it possible?
Developing Windows 10 Apps on visual studio 2012 is not possible. Visual Studio 2012 was used to develop Windows Phone 7 and 7.1 Apps.
Please upgrade your OS to Windows 10 . Install a free version of Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition.
Now you have all the tools to develop UWP Apps
I'm new in Visual Studio. Installed Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2012 (Version 11.0.50727.1 RTMREL).
Need to create windows mobile 6.5 application. When I go to File > New > Project I cannot find Windows Mobile in the list of templates. I tried installing Windows Mobile 6.5 Development Tool Kit still doesn't show up. Any ideas?
Yes, you need either Visual Studio 2005 or 2008 and better than the Express edition.
Then you need to install the Windows Mobile 6 SDK or the Windows Mobile 6.5.3 DTK.
In Visual Studio 2005/2008 you will see SmartDevice in the list of Project Templates when you start a new project.
A trial of VS2008 can be downloaded at http://downloadfreesoftwaresforpc.blogspot.de/2012/05/visual-studio-2008-professional-edition.html (http://download.microsoft.com/download/8/1/d/81d3f35e-fa03-485b-953b-ff952e402520/VS2008ProEdition90dayTrialENUX1435622.iso)
You can upgrade the trial following MSDN at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc442563%28v=vs.90%29.aspx
You'll need a copy of Visual Studio 2008 to do development for Windows Mobile\Windows Embedded Handheld. Visual Studio 2010 and later only support the new "Windows Phone" OS.
I am trying install Windows Phone SDK for PhoneGap, but when I was installing Windows Phone SDK 7.1, but doesn't work, because it si for VS2010. And Windows Phone SDK 8.0 etc. is maybe only for OS Windows 8. Do you have any ideas for solve this?
I have Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate.
You need windows 8 or 8.1 x64 to install the windows phone sdk 8.0. You will need the pro version if you want to use the emulators. Of course your processor must support slat for the emulator also.
Currently I have windows 8 with visual studio 2012 update 3 installed . I want to use some APIs of windows 8.1 preview which are not supported on windows 8.
Can I use them by insatlling windows sdk 8.1 ?
If yes , how to switch to sdk 8.1 with visual studio 2012 update 3. ?
Look at the msdn social discussion Somebody asked the same question: Use Windows 8.1 SDK with VS 2012 Update 3
Hello Shubhan
You will need VS2013 preview on Windows 8.1 Preview to develop apps for 8.1.
Since you have Windows 8 Pro, if you don't want to install the Preview at this time, one option would be to enable the Hyper-V feature on Windows 8 and install Windows 8.1 Preview to a virtual machine, along with VS2013 preview.

If I've installed the Visual Studio 2012, do I need to install the Windows SDK, or are all tools / parts of the SDK included as part of the Visual Studio installation.
The visual studio 2012 installer does not contain the full Windows SDK or Visual Studio 2012 SDK. these need to be installed separately.
Depends on which version of VS 2012 you have installed. Professional version and above include the Windows 8 SDK, so unless you are planning to develop applications for Windows XP or earlier versions of the OS, there is no need to install the SDK separately - you would already have it.
However, if you have installed VS 2012 Express, I would suggest referring to on-line documentation for clarification on this issue.

"The DirectX SDK is now part of the Windows 8.0 SDK."
"The Windows SDK for Windows 8 (aka Windows 8.0 SDK) is included with Visual Studio 2012, and is also available as a standalone package for use with Visual Studio 2010."
