As the title says. I’d like for my application to start when the Windows Mobile device is turned on? I’m developing this app using the .NET Compact Framework 3.5 in C#. Thanks!

To get your app to start, first we need to define ‘On’.
There is ‘On soft reset’: Here there are a couple choices. By far the easiest is to just put a shrtcut in the \Windows\Startup folder.
There is ‘On resume from sleep.’ This is a bit more complicated because you have to run something before that happens. The simplest mechanism here is to register your app with CeRunAppAtEvent with the NOTIFICATION_EVENT_WAKEUP event. You’ll have to P/Invoke it, as there is no built-in managed method for it.
Edit: There is also ‘After hard reset’. Some OEMs provide a mechanism to run an app or do some form of logic from a cold boot (Symbol for example). You’ll have to check with the device OEM’s docs for how this would work.
