ASR 3200

Doing an evaluation of ASR 3200 (Scan Soft's speech recognition tool for
Windows CE) Thought I would pick the brains out there before I am in over
my head (again):

1. Has anyone used this successfully with .NET CF / C#? I am concerned
about the callbacks required and plan to use the OpenNetCF mechanism?
2. Since the SDK is written for C/C++, I will need to P/Invoke quite a bit.
Is there a good tool for examining the entry points defined on Windows CE
dlls? Is this possible to do?

Any other thoughts?

You can use dumpbin.exe (as Chris suggested) to find the exported
functions from a native DLL, but if you want the complete method
signatures, you're going to need the header file.

Brilliant!

FYI - Prior to posting, I searched MSDN using "P/invoke compact framework"
Your article did not come up with that search. Chagrined that there was an
MSDN article on this subject already, I played around after you posted. If
"P/Invokes" is substituted for "P/Invoke" in the search string this article
appears first in the list.

Thanks,

- K.

Absolutely. I won't get anything to work until I get the structures, etc..
defined. I am a little apprehensive at how involved project is likely to
be... Best to get started then!

Yeah, the MSDN search pretty much sucks ass. My recommendation is to use
Google and use a site specific search, so enter something like this:

P/invoke compact framework site:msdn.microsoft.com
