Applications: Creating a simple UI application from scratch

In this series of posts I will show how we can create a basic UI application for a Windows Mobile Professional device from scratch, without having to go through all the hidden stuff that the wizard does to your application (the stdafx’s). And there is another reason why I would want to create an application from scratch, while porting applications, which were built using VS2005, to a BSP (in a build environment) I have faced lot of annoying problems. It throws a lot of compilation errors, and its a pain to resolve them. To make the application a little more useful, the application will display all the current running processes, and you will be able to refresh the view. I am planning to use a List View control for this, instead of a stale list box for two reasons, One I have never used a list view control and two you can display icons in a list view, cool right? Anyways, I have just started with the application. More posts coming soon.
