Develop applications for Windows Compact

I have an Windows Embedded Compact v8.00 device installed with build 6247. FYI - This device is an Siemens HMI.

Now I'm looking for the right way to develop applications for this version of Windows. I started trying with Visual Studio 2008, so I build a very simple application with just a useless textbox. After copying the executable to the device I start tried to run the test applications but nothing happens.

After searching the web I found out it's better to install Visual Studio 2015 PRO with an application builder from Microsoft's website.

Is this the right way to do? What else does I need to know when developing applications for Windows Compact 2013?

To create applications for Windows Embedded Compact 2013 you need VS2013 or VS2015 professional with the Application Builder plugin and a valid SDK installed on your PC. If you develop managed apps you also need to check in the .NET runtime is already part of the image or find a way to deploy and install it permanently on your device (the way to do this may change depending on the device configuration, registry type etc.)
