Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 new mobile phone project - visual-studio-2012

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 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

Windows Mobile 6.5 Development with Visual Studio 2012

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.

Adding Windows Phone 8 SDK on PreInstalled Visual Studio 2012

I have Visual Studio 2012 Installed previously, now I want to add the Windows Phone 8.0SDK to my visual studio 2012.
When I head on to the msdn website to get the sdk, the installer installs SDK and Visual Studio 2012 Express.
I just want the SDK on VS2012. How can I do this ?
The latest Windows Phone SDK should notice that you already have VS2012 and only add the required bits.
The Windows Phone SDK provides a stand-alone Visual Studio Express
2012 edition for Windows Phone or works as an add-in to Visual
Studio 2012 Professional, Premium or Ultimate editions.
Download it here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35471

can somebody help what I'm missing?
I have installed full version of VS2012 with all components.
thanks
Could you try installing the full package for Visual Studio instead? Link: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=254364&clcid=0x409
And for the manual installation you have to know that there are 2 download pages, maybe you downloaded it from the wrong page:
Windows Azure SDK for .NET - June 2012 -> You need this one if you use VS2012 RC
Windows Azure SDK for .NET - June 2012 SP1 -> You need this one if you use VS2012 RTM

Does Visual Studio 2012 include the full Windows SDK

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.
See this post for more information:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/chuckw/archive/2012/03/22/where-is-the-directx-sdk.aspx
"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."
