Is it possiable to have a program that is on a Pocket PC that runs in the
background of the Device? In otherwords that is always running? Can you use
C# to program a Windows CE/Pocket PC application? If so, what are some really
good books that will teach someone to Program something to run int he
background and to program a Pocket PC program with C#?

The easiest way to do this is probably to have the app launch when the
device starts up. There are several ways to do this:

Keep in mind, of course, that having something running continuously in the
background will consume battery power continuously also.

Looks like your blog is no longer on that link. I was wondering if there was
a way to have it run in the background without it startup. the idea is the
user will log in to a server with a password and then be able to use other
application which this project is going to interact with. Any Ideas on how to
accomplish this?

That blog entry is there when I hit it...

To run a process you can use the Process class from the SDF (which wraps
CreateProcess):
http://vault.netcf.tv/VaultService/V...dedversions=20
(guest, guest)

To comunicate between processes see this:

Thanks for the links, I am a bit confused by the vault one. Looks like there
is no really easy tutorial or way to do this. What would happen if some
onepens my program and then taps home on the pocketpc and opens the other
program? Would it pause my program or will my program keep running and I
don't need to worry about background stuff?
