Default Easily Access Pocket Outlook Data

http://www.developer.com/ws/pc/arti...10947_3556186_1

"In order for a new developer tool function to be useful, it must be easy to implement, provide a significant benefit to the task at hand, and perform well. As a Windows Mobile developer, I believe the addition of managed classes for accessing and interacting with the data contained within Pocket Outlook (contacts, tasks, and appointments) meets all these criteria. Developers who build .NET Compact Framework applications for Pocket PCs and Smartphones must all-too-often provide access to Pocket Outlook data. Previously, this meant using P/Invoke to either call native DLLs functionalities or access internal data stores directly, or acquiring third-party managed code libraries. The result was increased development time and/or increased cost. With the new managed classes, C# and VB.NET Compact Framework developers can quickly gain access to this often-vital information and modify it (if necessary) without additional products."



A quick post about how to reference and use Pocket Outlook data in Windows Mobile 2005. Looks easier than ever!
