.NET Compact Framework How-to Topics

Microsoft have provided links to How-to topics found in the conceptual documentation for the .NET Compact Framework. These topics contain procedures and sample code for developing and using .NET Compact Framework applications. They demonstrate how to use controls in the Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms namespace, how to create custom controls, how to use interoperability, and workarounds for unsupported class members or other features.
Note that some of these are easier to achieve using new methods in .NET CF 3.5, so read the How-to topic carefully before copying code samples because it mentions that for some of them.

Some interesting ones are:

How to: Get the Device Platform
