Introduction Application Development
The .NET Compact Framework contains a number of built-in User Interface Controls
Often you will need additional controls
Derived from existing controls or written from scratch
Since resources are limited on a Windows Mobile Device it makes sense to re-use functionality
Pocket Outlook exposes a lot of functionality
Common Dialogs are available for all applications
