Hello...

Can anyone explain what exactly a plugin is? I understand it is an
application of some sort, but is it even possible to create one using the
..NET CF?

Does anyone know of a site that has plugins available for download?

Thank you

Plugin is a COM DLL that exposes several specific interfaces. It is
referenced from a homescreen xml (an .hme file) via CLSID and provides some
functionality accessible via phone home screen. It occupies a segment of the
home screen, can resize vertically and respond to input events.

Becuase it is a COM object, plugin cannot be written using CF (neither v1
nor v2). You need Embedded Visual C++ to write one. As for the download
sites - search around there are plenty of them
