dotnet sdk: Hi,

Are there any backgrounders available about best practices where it comes to
saving power -and the battery while programming with Visual Studio 2005, the
CF 2.0 beta and the Mobile 5.0 SDK?

Kind regards,

Tony Thijs

Hi Tony,

Regarding this issue, I would like to tell you that basically it comes dow
to saving the processor cycles.
- If you do some job in the background threads use Thread.Sleep as much as
possible. Don't loop continuosly.
- Try to suspend your program execution (or redraw the screen) when it goes
to background.
- Whenever it's possible avoid polling.

Also, I would request you to plaese go through the following site :

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Mona [Grapecity]
