Can I create DLL instead of ActiveX that will have some
GUI too?

Thanks!

No ActiveX controls can only be created in Native code - Using either eVC++
3.0 or 4.0 depending on the Windows CE OS version of the target device. E.g.
Pocket PC 2000 and 2002 are CE 3.0 based so you would use eVC++ 3.0, Pocket
PC 2003 is CE 4.2 based so you would use eVC++ 4.0 SP2.

Download links for both are available here:-

Do you mean a .NETCF control - if so there are a number of articles which
describe how to do this. It is not quite the same as creating a custom
control for the desktop framework as you do not have designer support for
creating UserControls however you can create a class which derives from
System.Windows.Forms.Control and code a graphical component.

Hi,

u can't create activex controls using C#. Activex controls can be created
only using EVC++

Hi,

Thanks for your response. If I follow the instructions,
would I get a control that will be used in any .NETCF
language? For example if I create it in C#, would it act
as an activeX control for VB.NET too?

Thanks!
