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

Yes, my bad...i mixed up things...thanks for clarification. And yes development is easy, we were stuck with the deployment part...but now geting to the point...thanks for discussion...and good references by Simon too.

Thanks all.


Hello Paul G. Tobey [eMVP]" p space tobey no spam AT no instrument no spam DOT com,

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/d
p/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 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).
