I am a newbie to API calls in .NET. I am looking at the documentation for a method I want to call here EDIT The method is a Windows Mobile API call.

It appears that the DataContractSerializer isn't available in the .NET Compact Framework. I found this quite surprising, as I consider DataContractSerializer to be the Holy Grail of serialization, and one of the most widely useful classes introduced in .NET 3. Is there a way to get the same functionality under the Compact Framework, tha...
