Visual C# for Tablet PC

[Mark Edwards]

I want to buy Visual C# (or C++) and use it to develop
for the Tablet PC. I can't figure out what to buy. I can
buy the Visual C# .NET ($109), but don't know if that has
the inking libraries. Anyone who has bought something
similar, please let me know.

Hi Mark,

AFAIK the Tablet PC OS is just XP with some api(s) included to handle the
hand written reconigtion, therefore you can use the .NET framework as usual,
now I don't thing that there are managed extension to these API, therefore
you may have to P/Invoke them.

Cheers,

Just an FYI, the .NET show just did a feature on tablet PCs. I found it
very informative:

Mark,
There is a Tablet PC SDK that you will need in addition to purchasing Visual
C#. The SDK has all the managed libraries to leverage the Tablet PC from
..NET.
