Windows CE Newsgroups

We recommend that Windows CE developers become familiar with use of the newsgroups pertaining to their area of interest. You will gain a better understanding of CE, learn about issues that other CE developers encounter and find answers to the issues you face in your own projects.

The following are a few we recommend:
microsoft.public.embedded.vc
microsoft.public.pocketpc.developer
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.compactframework
microsoft.public.windowsce.platbuilder
microsoft.public.windowsce.embedded
microsoft.public.windowsce.app.development

If you don't already have a reader configured, you can add http://groups.google.com/ to the front of the newsgroup names and Google will show you the most recent posts. Google can also search the groups for you.

Update 6/1/2010

As of June 1, 2010 many of the Windows CE newsgroups have been shut down by Microsoft, and the rest will be shut down by October 1, 2010. This is part of an overall Microsoft strategy to move community from newsgroups to web based forums.

The newsgroups have been indexed by Google, so the existing content can and should be searched for answers using http://groups.google.com/advanced_search

Microsoft has replaced the newsgroups with http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/windowsembeddedcompact
which has forums for OS Development, Managed Application Development and Native Application Development.

Note that with the planned release for Q4 2010, Microsoft is renaming Windows Embedded CE to Windows Embedded Compact. This name change is reflected in the forum naming.
