UI Components for Windows Mobile Applications (.NET Compact Framework)

compact-frameworkcontrolsuser interfacewindows-mobile

Applications which run on mobile devices have special user interface requirements. I think Apple did a great job introducing innovative controls on the iPhone/iPod touch platform.

Now, I have to design an application for the Windows Mobile platform using the .NET Compact Framework (Visual Studio 2008). I wonder if there are some commercial or open source UI control sets available which are similar to the iPhone / iPod touch UI elements:

  • Scrolling panels based on gestures
  • Instead of a dropdownlist: a new panel with a large list of items
  • Sliding panels
  • etc.

I couldn't find any useful products/code. Maybe there is somebody out there with more experience who could help.

I know that Resco has some "Touch" based list and grid controls for Windows Mobile .net. We use some of their stuff (but not the "touch" features) and they have worked out pretty good for us so far. Here is their SmartGrid.NET control for example.
