Development Choices APIStrengths Microsoft Win32 (C / C++)  Smallest and fastest.exe files and DLLs.  Lowest memory overhead.  Required for device drivers, control panel applets, shell extensions  No runtime required; Windows CE.NET is the runtime. MFC / ATL (C++)  Object-oriented. Inheritance, Encapsulation, Polymorphism  Classes support arrays, lists, and simplify data handling.  Type safety  Complete MFC/ATL source code ships with tools.  Good tool support & wizards.NET Framework (C# and Microsoft Visual Basic®.NET)  Well-designed programming interface.  Object-oriented. Inheritance, Encapsulation, Polymorphism  Classes support arrays, lists, hashtables, dictionaries, and stacks.  Type safety  Namespaces.  Automatic garbage collection eliminates memory leaks.  MSIL / CIL, provides binary portable of executable (.exe &.dll)  Web service clients are quick and easy to write.  Great support for handling XML.  Great tool support — Forms Designer
