Hello

I'd like to build a simple application where I want to add additional
Form Elements (especially tabPages) dynamically.

-> plugin concept!
Somebody knows some Howto's, Guides, Tutorials and so on?

I'm using C# and it should also be possible with the .net compact
framework (PocketPC)

regards

Norbert
 
Here is one article on plugins. I'm not sure how much it will apply to
GUI-based plugins but the broad plugin concept is explored.

Typically, you would load an assembly, the plugin, in a new AppDomain and
then unload that AppDomain, via the static Unload method, when the plugin is
no longer needed. The problem is that with the compact framework the Unload
method is not supported. However, I believe that it will be supported in V
2.0. So for now at least, you should be able to load your plugins inside a
CF-based app but you won't be able to unload them.
