The Compact Framework is actually quite nice, so I'm not sure why
you'd want to develop in unmanaged code.
There are still performance reasons in some times of apps.
Unmanaged code for Pocket PC
is more or less Win32 code and about on par with Win32 code for the
desktop from what I can tell (i.e. to be avoided).
Yep, it's truly horrible.
I have never understood why MS wanted to keet the same API (subset) as they had
for desktop versions of Windows. The Windows API is rubbish, and shows every
sign of never having been designed, but just accreting over the years. Dealing
with the PalmOS API is much easier, even though it's doing the same sorts of things.
I suppose there is always this myth about cross-platform code that keeps getting
in everybody's way. There is a limit even in principle to how much code you want
to share between a PDA app and a PC app.
Cheers,
