dotnet compact framework: How can I use .Net Compact Framework to get control of other applications
like contacts?

It depends on what version of the OS you are using and the version of the
..NET CF and whether you are talking about PIM/Outlook if just general
intercommunication on the device. If you are talking about Outlook/PIM then
read on.

If using .NET CF 2.0 and Windows Mobile 5 then it is easy to add a contact
by using the new assemblies available for WM5.
(microsoft.windowsmobile.pocketoutlook.dll) namespace
Microsoft.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook.

See if this helps:

If using pre WM5 it's alot more cumbersome, P/Invoking is required. Do a
search for unmanaged POOM for more info.

Simon.
