CePimCommand in .NET Compact?

[Ben Lam]

Hi all,

I am thinking of using the InTheHand method of getting to pocket outlook
data inside .NET compact. However, how can I do the CePimCommand menu
extensibility functionality in .NET compact?

First off, do I just use the class library option in VS.NET to build a DLL?
How do I export a function (namely I must export CePimCommand)? Also, is
there a way to get to the 'legacy' definitions for HWND, etc. in .NET
compact, as this gives me compile errors. I guess I could just define it
myself in theory but I'm wondering if there's a general way.

This really stumps me, as I am a newbie with .NET. Any information would be
useful.

Thank you kindly,
Ben

You cannot build a .NET dll which exposes a function to native code. However
I detailed a method where you can use a simple native dll which exposes
CePimCommand and calls a managed application passing the parameters on the
command line. See the Forum entitled "Managed Pocket Outlook Add-ins"
