MSDN Webcast: 24 Hours of Windows Mobile Application Development: Interoperability Between Managed and Native Code (Level 300)  

Even though the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 3.5 contains a lot of functionality, sometimes it is unavoidable to call back (P/Invoke) into native Win32. In this webcast, we show you the basics of P/Invoke. In the second part of this webcast, we show how you can use existing COM objects inside your managed applications. Of course, both P/Invoking into native code and using COM objects inside managed applications are illustrated by a number of code samples.
