In addition, DirectX support has been added and C++ in Windows CE .NET now supports C++ exceptions, STL, and runtime type information. In this article the author takes a tour of Windows CE .NET, starting with the New Platform Wizard that allows you to code for your choice of devices. A sample application is included that locates features on portable devices so the reader knows what's available before writing code.more...
This article introduces the basic features of one of Microsoft's newest database products for Windows CE - SQL Server 2000 Windows CE Edition.

This article continues the analysis from another article, Application Development Landscape for Windows CE .NET, where three Windows CE APIs were compared: Win32, MFC, and the .NET Compact Framework. This article focuses on two of these APIs-Win32 and the .NET Compact Framework -to provide details on selecting an API for specific programming tasks. The choice of API ultimately dictates the choice of development tool: Embedded Visual C++ 3.0/4.0 or Visual Studio .NET.
