I am working on software application developed on eVB and
eVC for PDA on WinCE. Now the requirement is that the
application should be run on Tablet PC, PDA as well as on
Desktop PC. The technology involved could be either .Net
framework or Java. Is it possible? Is there any way I can
use the same application to be run on these environments?
Also, can you suggest me, which is the ideal technology?

This is rather confusing. If the application is already developed in
eVB and eVC (I gather these are current buzzwords for Visual Basic and
Visual C++), why are you asking whether you should develop it in Java?
..Net is the only option open to you unless you want to rewrite
everything.

Apart from that, I recommend the following process: (1) Develop user
interfaces for both platforms. (2) If they are not profoundly
different, conclude that you have done a careless job, and do it
again. (3) Design the software so that the user interface is decoupled
from function to the greatest extent practical. (4) Code and debug on
the platform of your choice.

You would need to port the application to different systems, Windows XP and
WinCE, but I believe your best responses would be in the
microsoft.public.windows.tabletpc.developer newsgroup where they deal with
programming and development. This newsgroup supports users.

You may also want to check the information on the official Tablet PC
developers web site: http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/tabletpc/ There is a
lot of solutions on the site, the Tablet PC Platform SDK is available for
download, and they have connections to blogs and message boards.
