Good Compact Framework reference implementations

Question

Are there any good .net Compact Framework reference implementations (w/ source) out there that demonstrate good practices for developing on WM-enabled devices?

My main area of concern and uncertainty is with Data Access. ORMs seem out of the question (do they even exist? are they feasible on resource-constrained environments?) and the method suggested by Microsoft (DataSets) just makes me cringe.

Any tips/links/pointers appreciated.

Answer 1

Microsoft put out a number of reference/sample implementations with source code and documentation etc. One example would be

Windows Mobile Line of Business Accelerator 2008

I'm not exactly sure of "best" practice (is there any such thing?). However these reference implementations are usually very good at showing one way in which an end to end solution can be put together and point out some of the most common stumbling blocks etc.
