This remarkably accessible and authoritative reference to .NET Compact Framework (CF) programming has been fully updated to reflect .NET Compact Framework 3.5 that ships with Visual Studio 2008, including powerful new programming technologies such as LINQ and ASP.NET Ajax. (There will not be a new version of CF with .NET 4.0.) This book covers everything .NET programmers need to know about CF to write robust, high-performance code for applications for mobile devices. Readers of all levels will gain insights into the internal architecture of CF, the Windows Mobile operating system, the managed code library, crucial P/Invoke connections between the OS and framework, and much more. New topics covered in depth in this edition include: * SmartPhone programming, to support more than 1 billion new Smartphones: all examples and best practices have been updated to reflect SmartPhones as well as Windows Mobile Pocket PCs * Security in mobile environments * The Pocket Outlook Object Model (POOM): how Windows Mobile can store data from Microsoft Outlook and make it accessible to CF programmers, so they can create, modify, display, and manipulate appointment, task, and contact items.
