Re: Need a good book on CE .Net Compact Framework

Platform Builder? What does that have to do with .NET Compact Framework?

There are also a couple of things that you keep doing that suggest that you
have some more online reading to do. You keep referring it as Win CE.NET.
Only Windows CE versions 4.x were "Windows CE.NET". 6.0 is "Windows
Embedded CE". That has *nothing* to do with whether you can use .NET
Compact Framework with the operating system; it's strictly the name applied
to the operating system by the marketing department.

If all you're concerned about is "deployment" of .NET applications to
Windows CE 6.0, there is no book. There's not a big enough market to drive
creation of a whole book on that topic. If you need to know how to build
the operating system with Platform Builder, you should either walk through
the tutorials in the Windows CE 6.0 help or take some training from one of
the Microsoft certified trainers. In neither case is this going to talk in
detail about .NET, but that's a tiny fraction of what you do when building a
new operating system for your hardware. The .NET Compact Framework is
simply a selection that you make for inclusion in your operating system (or
not), in Platform Builder.

So, which is it? You need help developing applications in .NET Compact
Framework or you need help building Windows CE 6.0-based operating systems?
If you'll clarify what it is that you actually need to know, you'll get a
much better response.

Yes i can see that, its more towards WM CF.

I need a book in which Win CE platform specific development tasks are
discussed, including Platform Builder, how to inject your application in
the
OS Image to be deployed on the device etc. Develoment in WM CF is pretty
much
straight fowrard and there is so much info online that you possibily dont
need a book on that.

I was exploring Win CE tools when i realized that i need a book for myself
and my team to grasp the environment and tools to deploy .net apps on CE.
This title
http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Microsoft-Windows-Third-Reference/dp/0735618844/ref=pd_sim_b_1
is all about eVC++ and merely has a chapter on .Net part.

I'm still looking for a good reference on developing for Win CE.Net.

Thanks anyway.

I think Chris was refering to this book:

I think the book above is targeted more to WM std and pro.

I think you'll be supprised how many people actually are using managed
code
now, very few I think are developing from scratch VC++ apps.

What i'm looking to do actually is to deploy Win.Net App on Embedded
boards.
as the name suggests, Win CE.Net, there should be a significant weight
behind
.Net part of it. but it dosent seem to be the case. You tell me is this
a
good idea to deploy .Net App on Win CE.Net? coz eveyone else is doing
VC++ on
it.

Thanks,

The MS Press book by Moth, Foot and Wiggley is a great reference.
It's not
CE 6.0 specific, but nothing that you'll find is (nor is there a
market
large enough to justify trying to write one).
