VS2008 Pro, it's called a smart device project.

Hmm, this is sorta .not link, but maybe better age 2005...

vb6, maybe... did something like that with jni to go java-fortran,

The classic vb solution for mobile devices was embedded vb (eVB). This is no
longer supported. Windows Mobile (the new OS on mobile devices) no longer
includes the vb runtime. You used to be able to install the runtime
yourself, but other things are no longer supported. Your only option now is
..NET, which is completely different. There is no wizard for converting eVB
code to VB.NET.

Sorry, posted the link without checking :(

Seem that eMbedded Visual Basic has gone the same way as VB6, the only
alternative beeing the "new" VB. You can't get it from MS any moore. MS's
ways are mysterious, on a minimal target you have to drag along a
'compacted' version of the Flamework. Taking much moore space than any app.

If you want to compete and use less resources, try Embedded Linux:
