I guess, what I'm asking is this: if in a year or two practically all PPC development is being done with the .NET Compact Framework, is it possible that the ordinary Win32 API could just go away? (Or is .NET still using the Win32 API under the hood).
Well, like Aaron said: you just have to write your own DAL (Device Abstraction Layer) and create all your development stuff above this layer. So, if the common Win32 API just disappear and just de .Net (ergh...) framework stays, just write your DAL as a .Net application.
Sorry if this seems to be getting off-topic, but what I'm trying to get at is something that may concern a lot of Palm developers: how can we write code for the Palm OS that's portable without too much trouble to PocketPC?
DAL is the answer. Some people usually do this without knowing the concept behind it. Actually, handling the event loop is, IMHO, the most difficult part to create, for the DAL. After that, everything is easy to do.
