This is how the managed Date Picker, CalendarSP, looks like (click here for download details):
The .NET Compact Framework lacks a Date Picker control for the SmartPhone development platform. I have written CalendarSP that overcomes this limitation of the .NET CF and is targetted for the SmartPhone 2003 platform.Its free to use and comes with complete documentation.Download it from http://www.wintoolzone.com/... ......
I have added support in CERapi to determine the type of device (PocketPC, SmartPhone, etc) connected to via ActiveSync. The CESystemInformation class has a DeviceType property that will return a CEDeviceType enumeration value which indicates the type of device. The snippet below exemplifies this: CESystemInformation si = rapi.SystemInformation; // Device TypeConsole.WriteLine("You are connected with a {0}",si.DeviceType.ToString... And below is the output for my Typhoon: Download the updated CERapi ......

There's no programmatic way to determine if the Windows CE device connected via ActiveSync to the desktop is a PocketPC or a SmartPhone. If you wish to determine the same, open HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services registry key and lookup the value of DeviceType value. Its a REG_SZ and contains the type of device you are connected with.
