problem getting native dll to work in CF

[Guest]

When creating a native DLL for CF, do you make it the same as making it for a
desktop CF? That is, Create Project / Other Languages / C++ / Win32? Then
do you make it static or dynamic?

I created a dynamic DLL that works with my desktop .net, but not when I try
to access it from my pocketpc app.

Thanks for any help.

That depends on what version of VS.NET you are using. *Only* VS.NET 2005
can build native code projects for Smart Devices. You cannot use VS.NET
2003 for that task; in that case, you must use eVC 4.0. In *no*
configuration is use of Managed C++ supported by Microsoft.

I am using VS.NET 2005. When I choose New Project, what template should I
use? When I use the one mentioned below (Create Project / Other Languages /
C++ / Win32) my dll seems not to work.

thanks for the reply. -

You need to choose "Smart Device" as a project template

I figured it out. The project type to create is

File/New/Project/Other Languages/VC++/Smart Device/Win32 Smart Device
Project/DLL

(with vs2005 of course)
