Pocket Outlook programming samples/guide
I am a veteran VB6 programmer, very new to VB.NET
I am beginning to program some things for Windows Mobile 5.0 in VB.NET.
Is there a place where I can find a guide to VB.NET programming with Pocket Outlook (POOM)? I'd want some good VB.NET samples too.
Specifically, I want a way to view and delete email and/or text messages. If I could find a sample of that, it would be great.
I haven't found anything good at all. Mostly C++ stuff.

Have a look at http://www.pocketpcdn.com/sections/mail.html - there is a lot there

Nightman:
Thanks, but that site is from 2001... all the articles are 1999-2001. Things have changed drastically since then with VB.net and the POOM.
I've seen that site, its pretty much dead as far as I can tell... nothing about Windows Mobile 5.0, nothing about VB.net 2005.

Yeah, there isn't an enormous amount out here. I have been considering tinkering with POOM as well, but just never seem to get round to it.
Don't forget though, if there is a C++ library out there that makes sense, you can still use it (I would imagine that a pinvoke works as well on the CF as it does elsewhere)

Remember, I'm all VB... I don't know C++ at all...
True, but you have done a LoadLib in VB before? Simply calling a static interface of a windows or other component?
I haven't done this in VB.NET (only C#) but it should be possible.

and

Looks like it's all interop - nothing native to .NET yet.

I appreciate the links, but nothing there mentions how to view and delete email and/or text messages.
I can't seem to find anything specific to VB.NET (although there are a number of C# samples, just not for POOM). I imagine that you will have to work using pinvoke to the C++ libraries.

What is Pinvoke? Can you maybe send me to a guide?
