Possibly a stupid question...

How can you check which version of Pocket PC is installed on a device? Eg.
2003 or 2002. I don't mean programatically, I mean how does the user
manually check?

The Settings>About utility does report a version no. (eg. 3.0.11171). Can
you tell from that if it's 2002 or 2003?

There are two devices on a customer site and i need the customer to check
what version they have.

Thanks.

Pocket PC 2002 will return a version 3.0.x as it is based on Windows CE 3.0.
Pocket PC 2003 will return a version 4.2.x as it is built on top of Windows
CE.NET 4.2

Ian,

How about something like this:

If Environment.OSVersion.Version.Major = 3 Then
' PPC2002
ElseIf Environment.OSVersion.Version.Major = 4 Then
If Environment.OSVersion.Version.Minor < 21 Then
' PPC2003
Else
' PPC2003SE
End If
End If

HTH ... Rick
