EventWaitHandle & CeRunAppAtEvent

[Micha³ Sakowicz]

Hey,

I found that EventWaitHandle is now implemented in the .NET CF 3.5,
but I can't find any managed method to create named events. Do I have
to still use P/Invoke and CeRunAppAtEvent?

Cheers
Michal

That's correct, it still doesn't support opening named wait handles in
..NETCF 3.5. The workaround is to P/Invoke CreateEvent, ModifyEvent etc, or
use a third-party implementation. I remember writing one for one of the
chapters in the Microsoft Mobile Development Handbook, also one of our
products has an implementation of the desktop class
(http://inthehand.com/content/Mobile.aspx). I think there is one in the
Smart Device Framework too (www.opennetcf.com)
