Windows Mobile - Compact Framework程序即服务？

Question

What is the best way to have my C# Compact Framework program running in the background on a Windows Mobile device ? I need to respond to different events, such as a text message arriving with a specific content. I would like not to start up any UI when the process is started, but just run in the background until UI is needed.

How can this be done ?

Answer 1

Just create the app as a Console app. If you need a message pump, you need to call Run without any parameters, and the CF doesn't have that. OpenNETCF's Application2 class in the SDF does. At that point you can raise a UI any time by creating and showing a Form as usual.

You cannot create a true service for CE or WinMo with managed code because EE Hosting is not supported.
