   Not to be too critical, but the last demo I saw of VS2005 .NET CF tools was where they showed the development of an application that stored restaurant information. It made a connection and stored the data in a local SQL database on the device, and it allowed you to capture a picture of the restaurant using the device’s camera. The picture was then shown with the database record.

   This demo was a video showing this application developed from start to finish in ~10 min.

   Sorry, but a calculator demo seems simplistic relatively speaking.

   Joe F.,

   The compiler preview has been out for like two days while Microsoft has had access to their own since its inception. Give it some time. You are more than welcomed to create such a sample application using the preview compiler. The community would appreciate it.

   When I attempt to access this CC entry I get "Requested Item is not available at this time." in the ID field, and the rest of the fields are blank.

   I posted about this in the borland.public.website newsgroup, and was informed this is because the report has version 10 as the low and high version, which will hide it from public view.

   Very nice, but I do have one comment. You provide no way to close the application on PocketPC 2002+ devices

   By default on these devices, a feature called Smart Minimize is used. This means that when the X on the main forms title bar is clicked, the application is minimized, and clicking on the applications icon will restore the previously running instance.

   The easiest way to disable this functionality is to add Self.MinimizeBox := False into your constructor. This will replace the X button with an OK button, which will terminate your app. Of course, having Smart Minimize is ok, but you should really give the users some way of shutting down your app, without having to resort to terminating it via Start|Settings|System|Memory|Running Programs.

   Hello guys,

   thank you for the comments, there is new update for Calculator in Code Central.

   This included Self.MinimizeBox := False;

   Joe,

   It is people like you who have prevented useful stuff like this being let out to the general public.
   
   I for one am thankful that it is NOW at least possible to offer my clients some form of CF option, instead of having to wait until Borland comes up with something that fits your (and other people like you) expectations.

   Now if we could just get a preview (or something) of the Delphi to JVM compiler! Hint, hint.

   Why is a preview for registered users only?

    Download at http://cc.borland.com/item.aspx?id=23412 seems corrupted. CC indicates it is 52k, both WinZip and Windows indicate the file is bad.
