Windows Mobile Hands-on Labs collection

After two years of Windows Mobile hands-on experimentation, in retrospect, one of the most asked questions was: "Where can I find a manual experiment?" "It's an unanswerable question, and outside of TechEd and Medc, it's really hard to get manual and virtual machines for hands-on experimentation."
In fact, these hands-on experiments in the data on MSDN can be found, but usually people do not pay attention to it. This year TechEd also a lot of people asked me, I answered them, a lot of people are still confused, maybe think I'm kidding them. Just take advantage of these two days have time, I will be able to find the hand-test manuals are written down, convenient for everyone to search it. However, warn you said that in the front, some experimental environment relatively simple experiments, the manual and the code can be, but SQL Server and SQL Mobile Data Synchronization experiment, you need to build a more complex environment. The last reminder is that these manuals are in English, did not CET-4 I do the experiment when the English manual, we are also afraid of what. A friend who has participated in a hands-on experiment should know the value of these experiments and say no more.

Windows Mobile

Beginners start

Step by Step:building the A. NET Compact Framework application for a Windows mobile-based Device Using Visual Studio 2005
Http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnppcgen/html/med201_msdn_netcf_app_vs2005.asp
This is a very good experiment for first-time developers with Windows Mobile, but there is a need for some. NET of WinForm development experience. In this experiment, we first need to create a smartphone application, then add a SQL Mobile database as a data source, and call the Pocket Outlook API to complete contact lookup and mail delivery, and finally call the Web Service to download pictures that are not available locally.

This experiment describes how to use MapPoint Location Server on a Pocket PC because MapPoint services are not in China, so we can only feel that the experiment has not been used at home. First you need to create a project, user interface, and add MapPoint Web service references to the project. First you specify the username, password, and area to look for, and you choose NA (North America). Then get the location of the contact and finally show it on the map.
Recommended index: ★★★★☆

Http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnnetcomp/html/med306_msdn_debugging_netcf.asp
This is a very new experiment, and the only one that is not developed for debugging, there are three main content: set thread-related breakpoints, debug a P/invoke, and use interop log to determine platform invoke. Of course, you will find that these debug technologies are for more complex multithreading or platform invoke.
Recommended index: ★★★★★
Knowledge Points: 1, set thread-related breakpoints
2, debug a P/invoke
3, using Interop Log

Well, all the experiments are introduced here, and of course there are some not published experiments, I do not know where to find their manuals. But do not think that with this list of experimental manuals, next year can not participate in hands-on experiments, to know that Windows Mobile hands-on experiment will be updated every year, if you miss, you may have to wait another year, look forward to next year in MEDC and TechEd's laboratory to see you.
Another point is that the current experiment is on the U.S. side, and China is just doing localized work here. I want to do a survey here, I hope you can give me more feedback:
1, if we want to do China's own experiments, we are not supporting it.
2, on the content of hands-on experiments, what kind of expectations.
3, is biased to the introduction of new technologies, or closer to the actual combat.
4, what are you interested in, think it will be interesting to appear in the hands-on experiment.
I hope to hear from you, thank you.
