    WinCE 5.0 Compatibility

     I have been happily using the InTheHand library for almost a year now. Up to now, I've always used it on a Dell Axim 51 which is running WM5.0 and it's been great (Thank you Peter!).

    I recently had a need to deploy my app on a rugged computer running WinCE5.0. Seeing as the original dll that I downloaded was for CF 2.0 I was confident that everything would be fine...! Unfortunately, I received the error 'Can't find PInvoke DLL 'BthUtil.dll'' as soon as soon as any Bluetooth type stuff was done. I am using the InTheHand.Net.Personal.dll v2.0.60828.0

    When I first arrived at this site again today I immediately noticed that the library is now called InTheHand.WindowsMobile. Indeed, I have been advised by the manufacturer of the rugged device that I was trying my app with that BthUtil.dll is part of the module that turns WinCE into WindowsMobile.

     
    My question is, can I get over this problem - will the InTheHand library work with WinCE5.0?

    These are two different products - InTheHand.Net.Personal is 32feet.NET - http://32feet.net for personal area networking. Currently the Radio support (On,Off,Discoverable requires a dll not present on some generic CE devices).

    Mobile In The Hand is a separate product primarily based around the Pocket Outlook and Messaging APIs. While this is designed for Windows Mobile it can work on some Windows CE devices if they have the required components.
