title: Developing applications for Windows Embedded Compact 2013
body: <p>Today I stumbled over the <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=38819" rel="noreferrer">Application Builder for CE 2013</a> in Microsoft's download center. As of the description, with this pack I should be able to <code>develop apps that target Windows Embedded Compact 2013</code> with Visual Studio 2012.</p>
  
  <p>After downloading and installing the Application Builder I found the new framework assemblies in <code>C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\WindowsEmbeddedCompact\v3.9</code>, but there are no project templates targeting Embedded Compact 2013 in Visual Studio 2012.</p>
  
  <p>I tried to create a blank WinForms or WPF project and to retarget it to 3.9, but that doesn't seem to be possible as well. There are no online templates that could be installed.</p>
  
  <p>How do I create a CF 3.9 application using Visual Studio 2012?</p>
