You've not given us much detail, like the device you're using or the printer type you want to print to (local, lan, serial, network, etc), however I'll see if I can at least point you in the right direction.

The de-facto standard for CF printing is PrinterCE from Field Software. PrintBoy from Bachmann Software also works well. I'm not certain if eitehr has the ability to print barcodes though.

Now if you're printing barcodes, that suggests that you're using a device like a Symbol (now Motorola) or Intermec handheld. If that is the case then those manufacturers have their own SDKs that allow printing.

If you are printing to something like a Zebra barcode printer, they typically have some serial PCL commands for printing barcodes as well, so you don't actually need to "print" the barcode. Instead you send the PCL command to tell the printer that the data should be output a barcode instead of text. The printer manufacturer can provide a PCL reference, as the PCL for these types of things isn't standardized.

There's nothing available directly from within the managed libraries. You'll need to use P/Invoke to call into the native Coredll.dll and use a method called GetSystemInfo.

pinvoke.net is an excellent resource for using P/Invokes for both mobile and desktop development. The pertinent entry for you is: http://www.pinvoke.net/default.aspx/coredll.GetSystemInfo

Calling this method will return a SYSTEM_INFO structure that contains information about the processor architecture.

If that route looks like too much work, you can always check out a commercial package called Smart Device Framework from OpenNETCF: http://opennetcf.com/Products/SmartDeviceFramework/tabid/65/Default.aspx

In the SDF, you'll be interested in OpenNETCF.WindowsCE.DeviceManagement.SystemInformation -- that will return the same basic information as the P/Invoke, but within a nice managed wrapper.
