Windows Mobile GUI选项

Question

I'm new to WinMo, and want to write a GUI application for a Windows Mobile Touch device.

I'm familiar with C#/C++, although not with any GUI development, and am writing a GUI for an application with a large C++ codebase which I've already ported to the platform successfully.

What would you reccomend for someone who is familiar with ObjectiveC/Cocoa to ease the transition to Windows GUI development?

Specifically: 1) What are the options? Langauages/Frameworks/Toolkits + Pro's/Con's.

2) What are the conventions? I guess I'm looking for something like the apple human interface guidelines for the iPhone.

3) Whats the best way to interface managed C# with unmanaged C++, pInvoke I assume?

Thanks

I've used the WTL to create applications for a Smart Phone, as you end up with a small EXE with few (if any) dependencies. Worth a look.

I've not done too much with different frameworks on WinMob, so I'm not in the best position to comment on the other questions...

1) For GUI design you can choose between C++/MFC and the .NET Compact Framework. The recommended way of doing the UI (especially for a newcomer) is the .NET Compact Framework using C#. IDE support is great, the language and framework are very mature. It is almost like coding for a regular .NET platform.

If you want to do an enterprise application .NET is fine for you. But to do an application for the mass market with quick response I don't think .NET could do it. I've seen some applications first done in .NET and then re-write in C++ because of performance issues.
