PoolStats for PocketPC

In my free time, I sometimes play pool with some of my friends. In order to keep track of the victories, defeats and screwups, I have decided to create a program for my PocketPC, with which to keep track of such events.

This program is based on the .NET Compact Framework, as it is very easy to use, but perhaps not the fastest. As far as I can tell, the speed difference is rather prominent on my PocketPC

Right Now: Suspended Development

I have not been working on this lately, in part due to the fact that it is too cumbersome having to enter all the information after every shot, and in part because we seem to play less pool now. In addition .NET forms are slow on the/my PocketPC

Clean Start

There is a problem with forms on the pocket PC; each and every form shows up in the "task manager". This makes it difficult to close the program in the "task manager". Several hacks exist to solve this, but I've decided to solve this problem by placing all my forms inside the first form, and then hiding/showing the various form parts as necessary. So currenty I'm working on bringing back the previous level of functionality to the new program.
