Answer 3

You may also have a look here where you will find a lot of useful information about developing for Windows Mobile. You can find links to the MSDN Forums and there are links to tons of videos in which certain tasks are explained very well (with source code in C# and VB.Net).

Good luck!

Answer 4

You may want to check OpenNetCF. This library is very useful.

Answer 5

You're probably going to want to look at this question as well, as it's going to be very relevent for you.

Answer 6

OK, assuming that you're already familiar with Visual Studio, Emulators Images, or have already worked with actual devices, you should already have obtained the latest Windows Mobile SDKs; these already include lots of samples and documentation for both managed and unmanaged APIs. However, you oughta know, most hardware vendors provide their own very specific SDKs and developer's libraries (i.e., for managing barcode and RFID readers, third party bluetooth stacks, add-on hardware, etc.). I'm not talking about crappy smartphones here, but industrial devices such as Motorola's or Intermec's rugged mobile computers. You will have to sign up to gain access to their software libraries and knowledge bases, though.
