Is it possible to use Delphi XE2 to develop Windows CE Applications?

Question

I have to develop an application to run on Windows CE accessing a remote Firebird database. I would like to use Delphi to do so. Is it possible?

Answer 1

Native Delphi only works with x86 compatible processors and Win32/Win64 or MacOS 10 API.

Ken White already pointed to you Delphi Prism, however if you would purchase it, instead of re-marked tool, you'd perhaps purchase the original product, i heard it comes with multiple platforms support instead of one. RemObjects Oxygene is the original product, part of which is re-sold as Prism.

Another option would be using Lazarus (vanilla or CodeTyphon distro). Its LCL library mimics VCL in many respects and FPC compiler mimics Delphi language (and some other Pascal dialects as well).
