Windows Mobile 단말에 설치된 .NET CF 버전 알아내기

.NET CF로 코딩을 하기전에 해당 단말에 어떤 버전의 .NET CF가 있는지 알아낼 필요가 있다. Windows Mobile 6.0이후로는 .NET CF 2.0이 ROM에 기본적으로 탑재가 되어있지만, 이를 확인할 필요는 있다.

가장 간단한 방법은 \Windows\cgacutil.exe를 실행해 보는 것이다.

만약 이 파일을 찾을 수 없다면, .NET이 설치되어 있지 않은 것이다.

Understanding Virtual Memory on Windows Mobile

I have heard a lot of complaints on the virtual memory on Windows Mobile.
Today I happened to read an article from Micrsoft.
The article is about change list and migration guide from WM 6.1 to WM 6.5.
As a usual application programmer, I don't care about the behind scene of system memory management. But my colleagues (especaially camera application developer and system developer) always have been complaining about the shortage in virtual memory.

So I took a chance, googled and found good articles on the topic.
