How do I get notifications in CF .NET 3.5 that the device has gone to
Suspend mode (powered off) and then how to get notification that it has
resumed (powered on)?

Hi,

There is no managed API to do this, you must use PInvke, but the best
way is to use OpenNetCF which wraps all these functionalities.

OpenNetCF is a nice toolkit. Too bad Microsoft didn't go the extra step and
add this funtionality.

It would be nice, but they can't cover everything for everyone. Contrary to
popular belief, they don't have infinite resources. With each version of
the CF they make decisions on what features to add to the framework based on
customer feedback, desktop compatibility and a lot of other things.
Fortunately they give us the hooks to do most (someday I'll be able to say
"all" I hope) of what we need that they've not done. In fact it's their
decision to give developers the power to extend the platform that makes it
such a good target.
