Hi,

AFAIK interop is not implemented in the CF , I could be wrong though, I
cross posted this to
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.compactframework where you could find a
better answer.

Cheers,

No unfortunatly there is no support for COM callable wrappers for .NET
Compact Framework classes.

is it going to be supported in Whidbey CF? I mean the possibility to call
managed code from unmanaged modules?

There will be some COM support in Whidbey, yes. You can call into unmanaged
code from managed code right now, there's just no support for COM itself

1. As CF 1.0 does not support COM interop, most folks recommend Odyssey's
CFCOM

2. There will be COM support in CF 2.0 (the ability to call COM from managed
code with RCWs)... In that scenario, your unmanaged code will be able to
*call back* into managed code...

3. The scenario of unmanaged code (COM) calling a managed dll (like you can
do on the desktop with CCWs), will not be supported in the CF 2.0

Although I am confident about the first two statements, the 3rd one is my
interpretation of what is not a very clear official message (various sources
contradict each other). I hope I am wrong in which case someone will surely
point it out :-)

Cheers
Daniel
