Default MSDN Articles available in Reader Format

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnroad/html/Road02132002.asp?frame=true

Some MSDN articles, particularly those by John Kennedy, are being made available in .lit format for your desktop and Pocket PC, both 2000 and 2002 versions of MS Reader. The screenshots and code examples are a bit hard to read on the PPC screen, but everything else is fine. Too bad there is no way to zoom in on images in Reader.

Interesting side note - see anything different in that last screenshot in the article that I linked to? That isn't an X icon... hmmmmm ;-)

And I wonder what the little twin arrows going each direction are? Could it finally be a REAL task switcher?



Nah.... :roll:

It can't be! That would ruin the whole PocketPC effect! :wink:

Very cool !

Unfortunately a search for "Download this article in Microsoft Reader format" on MSDN only returned this one article :?

This is pretty cool...and if I read the article correctly, you can deploy C# apps to Pocket PC 2002? Suddenly, doing my Pocket PC Apps in Java seems silly.

Oh dear, I feel an assimilation coming on

Default What about Acrobat Reader

May be it is best to use Acrobat Reader if the same version of the document is available in that format too.

It's a very powerful tool: text can be configured to fit the size of diplay (Reflow mode) and when Reflow is not enabled, you can Zoom in.
Look on Adode's web site for the Windows CE version (it's free!) 8O

:?: Umm... not if you're a company whose software is competing with Adobe in the e-book reader arena
