I'm having some performance issues with my Pocket pc 2003 application , I'm using multiple forms and have read that using panels would increase my performance , but i don't see that working with the amount of programming that needs to be done and the amount of things that need to be loaded when a form is being loaded...,

Strider mentioned a class of ("preloading" forms) can someone give a short example on how to do that ?

Ive preloaded some forms , with form1.show,form1.hide , and it does increase loading time but , this is obviously not what strider meant.

Second thing I'd like to know , will my Pocket pc 2003 application run on Windows mobile 5 phone edition ? with the ability to install the compact framework 2.0 and sql server 2005 ce ?
...Specifically on this device .. hp-ipaq-hw6915 , i cant get my head around what's the difference between a windows ce 5.0 application and the different OS's for Pda's..
Do i need the OS pocket pc 2003 for this application or will windows mobile 5.0 have what it takes.?

Thx.
