How to create a Basic4ppc library

[Erel]

Creating libraries is pretty easy.
It can be done using C# or VB .Net and using Visual Studio 2003 or 2005 (professional version).
You should create a .Net CF class library.
The library should include at least one public constructor (which will be converted to New1, New2...).
You could use overloading (again, Basic4ppc will add the numbers as necessary).
Basic4ppc will handle the data conversion of the following types:
- Primitive types (int16, double, byte...).
- String.
- Control.
- Stream.
- Arrays of primitive types.
- Color
Events can also be used. See the attached example for the syntax of events.
If the class implements the IDisposable interface, Basic4ppc will call the Dispose method when the application ends (making sure that all the resources are freed).

If there is no need of a special function of .Net CF 2.0, it is better to target .Net CF 1.0 (to prevent the need to install .Net CF 2.0).
Attached is the source code of the ScrollBar library.
Please feel free to ask any question regarding the libraries.

Please,
does somebody have an example of how to create a library for P4PPC in VB?
regards

[Erel]

Attached is the VB version of the library.
It doesn't include all the properties.

You are GREAT, Erel!

Hi,
I cannot open the project in VB .net
I have VB .Net standard 2003...

[Erel]

You need the professional version to create smart device projects.

Ok, but same I cannot open it!, will the project be well created?

... is it possible in SharpDevelop?
(http://www.sharpdevelop.net/)

[Erel]

I think that you can't (or that it is very complicated).
You should check if it supports .Net CF development.

Thanks for Your answer Mr. Erel,
Sigh...
However I will try there!
