Becasue Pocket PCs have no console or command line interpreter. A non-GUI
app is simply an app with no UI.

Any help please

Thanks.
 
Just wonder, why wouldn't microsoft develop consoles in pocket pc?

Is there any 3rd party who develop command prompt for pocket pc?

Anyway thanks for the reply.
 
Pocket PCs (2000,2002,2003) have a semi-hidden command line prompt:

- Hold down the action/enter button then tap and hold on the clock in the
top menu bar.

- This displays a dropdown menu with two options: Run and Clock.

- Tap "Run" to bring up the command line prompt.
 
Thanks Chris and Todd

Okay, now there is a secret place for command prompt and there is a 3rd party pocket console

How do i actually make my .net compact framework to write console app? You know, when you execute the vs.net solution, it will call up that command prompt

Any tips?
 
If you install Pocket Console then it registers in the system as a console
device. You can then use Console.Read and Console.Write to interact with the
user via the console. It can be a useful tool for debugging.

Don't use a Form in your app. From Main, just use the Console functions.
