In my case it was:

30#"\windows\jeodek.exe" -run s3_ for GMail

…and:

30#"\windows\jeodek.exe" -run s2_ for Opera Mini

“s0_” was Sprint’s stupid “Music Store” application and “s1_” does not exist on my phone.

There are several options available one of which is sMMS Picture Mail Composer. (Alternate link)

The trick that I use (and will continue to use) is sending a vanilla e-mail to the picture mail address with a picture attached.

Works like a charm.

The documentation for Control.BringToFront does not say it is available for the Compact Framework, yet I’m using it.

If it wasn’t for this link though — that I actually found earlier but didn’t feel the need to post as it only made me look sillier — I would still be searching for the existence of CheckedListBox in the .NET CF.

I wonder why no mention is made on certain classes that they are available for the Compact Framework?  Is there some documentation that I am not finding, reading properly… ?
