WindowsCe & Autogenerated code

[alberto]

Hi all,
I have been using C# .NET for about 3 months now. I have been
programming in other (Borland C++ Builder, Flash...) environments for
years.
I have to do a small application in WindowsCe, using MS Sql ServerCe,
with datagrids, updates etc.
I started using the autogenerated code with blablaBindingSource and
blablaDataSet etc, and was discouraged by the complexity.
I then started reading some books on how to without autogenerated
code, and using DataSets, connections etc programmatically, no
autogenerated 2K+ lines code at all.

It is still bumpy, but I am making headway, and I encapsulate most of
what I find out in my own classes (~150 lines, not 2538).

Is that the way to go, or am I missing something? By the way, are
multi K line programs good for handheld devices anyway?

opinions?

Hi
I also don't have so much expirence in CE but I think it is much
easier using blablaBindingSource and blablaDataSet I was also
against those blablaba cuz I like doing things programmatically but
now I think it is faster (Im not sure if it is faster for your
programs but for you for sure - you save your time). Believe me you
will quickly adapt to it
