Timers in Windows CE
I'm developing an app for Windows CE using VB.NET. I'm having problems with timers running under Windows CE (I'm using a Dell Axim for testing), as they are much slower than real time...about 3-4 times slower.
Can anyone shed some light on why this would be happening?
Are there programming issues/considerations that I'm not aware of when using timers for CE?
Thanks!

What do you mean "much slower than real time"? Does that mean the Tick event doesn't fire when you expect it to ?
I've used timers (System.Windows.Forms.Timer) in VB.NET running on PocketPC 2002/2003 with no troubles at all.

Exactly. I use essentially the same code running in Windows XP and the timed event that is supposed to take 6 seconds actually takes 6 seconds (i.e., the Tick event occurs when expected.)
However, when I rebuilt the app to run in Windows CE, the timed (Tick) event happens much later than it should.

Wish I could help - sorry. Have not actually made a project targeting CE - just Pocket PC. Don't know if that's an issue.
