Will DLL compiled by VC++ .net work on Pocket PC????

[Guest]

Hi,

I am developing an application in VC# for Pocket PC and I have to use a DLL which is already used in the main system. I am wondering if the DLL compiled by VC++ .net will work on Pocket PC or I have to use embedded VC++ 4 to compile the DLL. I am very new to the development of Smart Device Application. SO can you please give me a dummies guide.

Also is there any books on C# for PDA development if you can recommend or tutorials, or sites where I can learn.

Thanks a lot.

Regards
Trushar

No, you can't used Managed C++ on Pocket PC and no, you can't use an
assembly compiled for the desktop framework with Pocket PC, so, well, no.
If you are talking about a native-code DLL, then you can recompile it with
eVC++ (3.0 or 4.0, depending on the target version of PPC), and call *that*
from your managed code EXE.

Trushar,

Here's a link to great books and other resources for Compact Framework
development: http://www.opennetcf.org/CategoryView.aspx?category=Resources

The classic reference for C++ development for CE devices is Doug Boling's
Programming Windows CE.
