Windows CE 3.0 Application Programming Prentice Hall Series on Microsoft Technologies

With Windows CE 3.0, CE finally comes of age as a development platform -- and as a development opportunity. Now's the time to master CE development -- but many CE programming books focus almost entirely on building attractive user interfaces, and leave you hanging when it comes to the rest. Not this one! Windows CE: Application Programming offers comprehensive, code-rich coverage of CE networking, communications, database access, desktop interoperability, COM/ActiveX, mail store and messaging, power management -- everything you need to know to build world-class Windows CE apps! Nick Grattan and Marshall Brain deliver extensive code examples throughout -- as well as great tips for leveraging your existing Visual C++ expertise. Master CE file access and directories; processes and threads; and using ActiveSync to synchronizing PDAs and desktops. Build networked CE applications; learn expert techniques for managing limited memory; access databases; build components with COM and ActiveX; and more -- including today's most effective CE user interface development solutions.
