Does .NETcf v2 have a managed code way to create/alter the Today Screen, or
is it still necessary to use eVC for this task?

Thanks for any help,
Steve
 
Same as in 1.0; you have to use unmanaged code.

Just thought I'd throw in my two cents. There is actually a very good
reason to write C++ today screen plugins instead of with managed code.
These plugs need to be really small and load quickly. CF applications
take too long to load for the Today screen, and the .NET framework uses
too much memory.

I suspect this will only change if the .NET framework becomes a
fundamental part of the OS, such that OS components are also written in
..NET, and therefore the .NET framework is always loaded and running.
