How to develop with C# for Symbol MT2070 using old SDK / EMDK?
<p>I am (re)developing a web application that needs to interact with a mobile scanner. My client currently has several Motorola / Symbol MT2070 scanners. The software running on those scanners was written in C# using the <a href="https://portal.motorolasolutions.com/Support/US-EN/Resolution?solutionId=97036&amp;productDetailGUID=0552d085364cf310VgnVCM10000081c7b10aRCRD&amp;detailChannelGUID=2202caf8fb16e310VgnVCM1000000389bd0aRCRD" rel="nofollow">Symbol EMDK for .Net</a>. I am having problems getting a working development environment (I don't usually develop in C#).</p>

<p>I am running Windows 8.1 and using Visual Studio 2015 CE. But when I try to install the EMDK the installer fails saying it cannot find Visual Studio. The EMDK description says it needs Visual Studio 2005 or 2008 but I cannot find or buy those because VS 2015 is out.</p>

<p>The MT2070 scanner runs Windows CE 5.0 and uses the .Net 2.0 Compact Framework.</p>

<p>How can I develop software for this scanner using a modern toolchain? Is there any way to force installation of the EMDK? Any way to get the Symbol.MT2000 C# CILs another way?</p>
