Help needed... Compact Framework.. Symbol Mobility developer

[Harsh]

Hello all,
I am planning to procure Symbol PDT 8100.
I want to use the Symbol Mobility Developer Kit in my
application (C# and Compact framework). I want to use this
kit especifically for Bar Code generation and printing.
NOTE, i am newbie in mobile/Pocket PC development.

I know the questions should ideally be asked
in Symbol Forum... but they do not seem to respond.


My doubts and question: -

1) On some posts on Symbol Developer Forum i have
seen some posts that Symbol Mobility Developer kit not
giving results/ or having bugs. Has any body used the
Symbol Mobility kit with Compact Framework and seen the
actual results? IF yes can you comment on that? I have
posted by questions to Symbol.. But their developer forum
is too lazy to respone ... Hence requesting your
comments soon.

2) Has any body used MicroFlash printer with Symbol
PDT 8100 (Or any of Symbol's Pocket or Handheld PCs?). I
want to know how have been the results with Compact
Framework, Symbol Mobility Developer kit and network
printing?

3) In general one question... If MicroFlash series is
wireless printer
(http://www.symbol.com/products/mobile_computers/mf2tand4t_
seriesds.html)
.....
a. Does the "wireless printer" mean a printer with a
seperate IP?
d. Does the printer provide the driver to be used
from Symbol PDA (PDT 8100)
c. Does it mean it needs to be installed PDA device
from which it is to be used?
d. Also Does it mean, if we use the Symbol mobility
Developer kit it can print only for printers installed on
PDA (Symbol PDT 8100).
e. Can Symbol Developer Kit support network printing
(thermal barcode printer on 802.11 b LAN with a seperate
IP)?

I tryed something because we decided to use symbol's PPC with integrated
barcode reader.
I spent 2 days to make it work but now it works (documentation is not so
good but there are a couple of examples).

The limitation i found is that I cannot choose (or maybe it can but it is
not explained in docs) the barcode type/the checkdigit options.

For other question I don't know.

See you
