>I've done several production application with Guineu that run on scanners (one of the few hardware categories where Windows Mobile/CE is still relevant). It does work, but as many VFP features are not fully implemented, you might have to try several variations of an approach until you find one that is working. I think that's the biggest issue with Guineu right now. The second is that debugging is a bit tedious because there's no integrated remote debugger. Hence, you have to copy a program to the device, run the app, keep track with WAIT WINDOW or STRTOFILE() to log information, etc. Much like in the old days.

But again, there's limited support in the mapping of VFP data types to .NET data types and aside from calling methods and setting properties not a lot of .NET specific support (say delegates).

However, if you feel that confident in C# it's better to write the app directly in C#. You need to buy VS 2008 for that, though. The newer versions of Visual Studio don't support Windows CE anymore.

Thanks for the info. We are now trying to convince the client to use a Windows tablet. Only thing he was missing was the built-in scanner which those Windows CE devices have. But it really seems Windows CE is a guineu pig from the past!
