My details: custom mobile device running Windows CE 4.2, Compact Framework 2.0 SP1. C# app making decent use of P/Invokes with no problems until now. I've written a low-level keyboard hook (similar to, but not identical to, this CodeProject post) which works marvelously with one exception. One thing that our software does is allow acces...

Good morning, I am the developer of a medium sized PDA application that will be used out on the streets. The PDA will contain some vaguely sensitive data (names and addresses, etc).

I'm writing a C# application for a proprietary Windows CE 4.2 device (for which I don't have the specs or pretty much any other information. I've got access to the file system, and that is basically it.) I also can't get support from the original manufacturer. Now, I can install the .NET Compact framework just fine, and everything works...

I've tried with Postsharp, but their current implementation targets 2.0, and it's getting painful to make it work. Should I roll out my own AoP implementation (I'm thinking of a very VERY basic and utilitarian implementation here) Or there is an alternative I'm not aware of? ...

Hey everyone, We work extensively in the .Net Compact Framework and Windows Mobile. I've seen plenty of questions come up regarding specifics to development of ASP.Net apps or other .Net based desktop apps but nothing CF specific. Anyone else a mobile developer out there that can share some things to start doing, stop doing, and avoid ...
One of the cool things about the .NET Compact Framework is that you can run .NETCF executables on the desktop version of Windows. However, there are minor incompatibilities between the platforms that have to be dealt with at run-time. My question is, how do I tell which platform I'm on right now? ...

The Deactivate event isn't the right way because it occurs in circumstances other than minimization, such as when a message box or another form is sho...
A simple application is written in CF 2.0. It's single-threaded as far as I'm concerned. Two parts of the application are of interest: an event handler that handles "Barcode scanned" event raised by a class that represents PDA's barcode scanner (provided by manufacturer), and an event handler for Windows.Forms.Timer that runs every 30 s...
