Yes, Microsoft says it. Managed C++ is *NOT SUPPORTED* for use with .NET
Compact Framework. It would be possible for Delphi to generate correct code
for the .NET CF, but, given the size of that market versus the size of the
desktop market, I'm pretty sure that they haven't put *any* effort into
that.

Who says this? Microsoft? (I don't want to insult you I simply want to
state that MS is a bit shortsighted for CF development and only looking on
their own tools and event them not fully [Managed C++ and J++ being left
alone])

I'm using Delphi 2006 with the included CF compiler. For all other stuff I
tried it worked seemingly well (at least well enough).

in with some other unsupported language - maybe managed C++. How do you
know you're not getting some IL that's not supported by the CF that's
causing grief?

I don't think so. Afaik it's simply calling the right classes within the
CF. I already show a bitmap somewhere else in the application and this
works. The bitmaps used are located as BMP-files in the application's
directory.

Giving us a general description of what you're doing without code for us
to see what you're _actually_ doing is not very useful.

Okay, I will give code later on. Just some minutes (there is something
more urgent for my right now).

Have you tried the same operation with C# or VB? Does it work there?
Using the same bitmaps? How does the generated IL compare?


No, because I either had to buy them or install some trials which just
occupy too much space when you're normally developping with Delphi and
this already contains a compiler for CF. But I see your point. Technically
I just can't do this right now.
