I use VS 2003 as my dev platform working with Windows Mobile 2003 SE.
When I run my application from the designer, it deploys to the
connected device and runs fine. However, when I close the app either
on the device itself, or by stopping the debugging from VS, the app
remains in memory on the device. I know that closing apps on a
pocketpc keeps them in memory which is fine, but if i close it on my
dev machine, the app doesnt close in VS, and if I close the app on the
pocketpc, VS doesnt seem to see that is closed. Any help?

Also, is there a way to make an app close for "real" when pressing the
little X button in the top right corner?

Change the Form's MinimizButton property to False so the (X) changes to an
(ok) which closes the Form.
