Can I do ... with .Net CF on a PPC 2003 device?

[M. Said]

Hi,

Is it possible to do the following with .Net CF application ( on a PPC 2003
Device):

1) Boot the device directly into the .Net CF Application?

2) Prevent the user from killing the .Net CF Application?

3) Prevent the user from task switching?

Basicaly, The user needs to turn the PPC Device and run ONLY the .Net CF
Application.

Is this possible? Can some one point me to examples/articles/resources for
accomplishing this?

Best Regards,

M. Said

One way of doing this is with Kiosk Engine, which will lock down your device
to a specific application (including .NETCF applications). More details

This is a very, very, very commonly asked question. It's probably one of
the #1 requirements for almost any enterprise app (and it's surprising the
platform doesn't provide better inherent support for it).

To get your app to start up, there are a few options. The most common is to
put a shortcut in the \Windows\Startup folder.

To "lock" it, you typically need to just disable the hardware buttons and
the Start menu. Search Google and you'll find *lots* of samples.
