Hello,
I'm totaly newbie in .Net and C# world... I was developing on Symbian
platform for ages and I didn't use win32 api or .Net API many years. I
know how hard is to get into new area, so I hope you could help me - my
experience says that forums are usually best places to talk with
developers...
To get first impressions and feelings about C# I did a very simple
project (it's stupid utility - you can see it on
www.bombon.name/ds) and now I'm trying to port it under Compact
Framework 2.0.. Until now I'm pleasantly surprised with everything -
it's so big difference, when comapring with C/C++ on Symbian...
I have some questions(I know I could google them:)
1/ Where are the best forums related to Pocket PC development on the net
2/ Is better to uuse C#/.Net or C++/ATL/MFC
3/ Is phone functionality(call handling, phonebook) available in .Net
4/ What are the advantages/drawback of .Net when comparing to C++/ATL/MFC
!!5/ Could you advice me some good tutorils, PDF documents, books or
any materials I should read about developmnent on PocketPC
Thank you a lot
Bye

1) these forums, you also have the added value of MSFT employees helping you
2) depends what you need to do, there is no right/wrong way. C# is managed and used .NET but you can also PInvoke to API's on the device. C# is also easier to certain degree than C++
3) I believe it is, you have to check the API's/SDK
4) .NET is faster, managed, and all the classes you really need are right there.
