It offers specific techniques for writing mobile applications, including developing GUI elements using Web Forms, transferring data using XML Web services, working with local and remote data sources, and developing applications that can operate in a disconnected state from the wireless network. The book illustrates each technique with working code samples in Visual Basic .NET and Visual C# .NET. It also includes a quick reference appendix showing the differences between the .NET Compact Framework and the full .NET Framework. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The first and definitely one of the best books on the Compact FrameworkAs the first Compact Framework book on the market, it helped light the way for all that followed. As a mobile developer, this book has helped me tremendously and I refer to it all the time. This book belongs in the collection of anyone who has to tackle the nuances of embedded development on the Windows Mobile platform. Rating:  - Great book!I have learned a lot about the .NET compact framework. It has been a great first-book to begin my understanding of this topic. The examples in the book really help to advance my understanding. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to begin a project on the .NET compact framework. Rating:  - If this book's so great, why won't the code run?Chapter 17, UsingSQLCESample. First, the buttonAdd_Click() event wasn't added to the button, so you click away and nothing happens, until you figure it out yourself & fix it. Then, the section in the book dealing with parameters is missing from the sample code, and the DataGrid never does fill with data. This job is difficult enough without having to spend time debugging some "expert's" sample code! Rating: - Best of the bestThis is definatley the most comprhencive and infomative book about pocket pc out there. Buy this book first, you will not regret it. Rating: - Great bookI have some .NET C# experience, and this book is great. If you were new to C# it would probably be difficult, but for those with some .NET experience this book is perfect. I expected the book would come with a CD containing code samples, but you have to download them from Microsoft. http://www.microsoft.com/mspress/books/companion/5960.asp <-, then click on Companion Content. -Matt Listening to: 'God Fearing Man' from 'Fight For Your Mind' by 'Ben Harper' on Media ...
