Managed C++ .NET class lib for Pocket PC

Hi,
I have successfully developed a .NET class library (.dll) using Managed C++ extensions that wraps managed functions around some unmanaged C++ static link library that I have.

The platform is Win32 and I have successfully used the .dll resulting from this project in C# web applications and other managed codes.

Now, I would like to compile the same code for a Pocket PC platform. Of course, I have access to the Pocket PC version of the above-mentioned unmanaged C++ static library.

So far, I have not been able to find out how this task can be done. I would appreciate any help, pointer, or insight into this problem.

Sincerely,

It simply cannot be done right now. C++ as a .NET language is not supported on the compact framework (in the 2002, 2003 or 2005 releases).

Please do let your Microsoft contact for this area know that you would like this to be supported!

Thanks.

Hi,

It is stated that for Pocket PC, both native code and manged code could be developed "under the umbrella of a single IDE" in VS 2005. Then what does this mean?

Does it mean that we dont need eVC4 any more?

If the MC++ is not supported in VC++.NET 2005 for Pocket PC, then how could the managed C# code and native C++ code interact with each other, say code in C# access class in native C++ (that previously developed in eVC) ?

Thank you.

Regards,
Stefen Huynh
