Create a COM Automation server in .NET compact framework

[Timothy Dean]

You can expose .NET components to a COM automation server in .NET, right?
Can you do the same in the compact framework on a Pocket PC device?

Yes, you can.

No, you can not since NETCF does not support hosting.

Is there is good way to write a function in .NET (using the compact
framework) and call it from C++? Could a C++ application be extended by
writing components in .NET on the device and communicating both ways?
Thanks.

There really is no good way to do it. You could use IPC (MessageWindow,
MessageQueue, Events) to communicate with a running managed process, but
there's no way to get the managed code running inside your own process
without hosting support.
