CF performance compared to eVB

[Derek]

How does the speed of .NET CF apps compare to apps developed with embedded
Visual Basic (eVB)? I have installed a few eVB applications in the past and
their performance has usually been very poor. Does the .NET Compact
Framework perform better? Thank you.

From recent tests I have found that .NET CF is at least 6 or 7 times faster
than eVB for stuff like filling comboboxes and such.
I haven't been checking raw execution speed for stuff like loops and other
stuff.

Hi,

The Compact Framework provides much better performance. I haven't done any
benchmarks, but I won't use eVB, except for legacy applications.
