I read part of "Windows Forms Programming in C#" by Chris Sells and its a pretty decent book. Its not geared toward the compact framework, but if you've never had experience with .NET its pretty good. It is part of an entire serries called the "Microsoft .net Development Series" which does contain books related to the compact framework, but i've never read them. I have heard though that the entire series is pretty good.

Yaeh, his books are generally pretty good references. Plus, even it if isn't a .NET CF book, a majority of it can still be used for .NET CF apps. That's the good thing with .NET, they're trying to make it very platform independent (for now, just MS platforms though). I've seen some .NET apps that compile for the .NET CF with very little (if any) modification. There are some .NET functions that aren't accessible from the .NET CF, though, so some ports will require more code modification.

No problem at all bud. I noticed that myself, but they've since corrected their mistakes..... so I figured I would fix it for us as well. :p

just another thought about .NET CF. If you want to write an App for both, write for CF first then port to the full version. doing it the other way around is a pain but it can be done.

Dont think there are that many PocketPC software that requires this piece of software to run so the most logical thing for all to do is nothing at all :)
