One article is based on the existing, released eMbedded Visual Tools and the other article is based on the new Visual Studio .NET environment, and the .NET Compact Framework beta.<br /><br />From a mobile development point of view, we're in the middle of a generation shift. Visual Studio .NET tools and languages for Pocket PC application development are <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/device/sdebeta.asp">available in beta</a>, while the existing <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/mobile/developer/downloads/emvt30/">eMbedded Visual Tools</a> are becoming part of more and more developer's tool boxes. Eventually, we'll all be doing .NET programming, but it will take quite some time before eMbedded Visual Tools are retired.<br /><br />The article <a href="http://www.devbuzz.com/content/zinc_dotnet_sqlce_wallet_pg1.asp">Developing an e-wallet using .NET Compact framework & SQL Server CE</a> is a walk-through in using the new SQL Server 2000 Windows CE Edition 2.0, and the article <a href="http://www.devbuzz.com/content/zinc_evb_accessing_files_api_pg1.asp">eVB File Access through the WinCE API</a> shows how to optimize file management performance using Windows CE APIs.
