R – Watermarked Textbox for Compact Framework

Consider using the Smart Device Framework from OpenNETCF. Whenever I've tried to do custom UI and the compact framework has let me down, SDF has usually already "fixed" it.

What about the Smart Device Framework? The GUI components don't look as fancy as those in the Resco toolkit, but SDF seems to have a broader basic selection (SDF doc). I've never used either (have only used MFC on WinCE), but would also like to hear about CF development experiences.
