hi there,

i'm developing a pocket pc application in c#.net to save appointments
and i have to bold and underline some text in the note field. as the
note field is of type string and it does not store any information
about text formatting, how can i store the information indicating some
characters are bold and underlined. thank you.

From Windows Mobile 5.0 the notes are stored as plain text only (the Body
property). In prior versions the body rich ink data was stored in the
internal format of the RichInk / InkX control which is specific to Pocket
PC. You could store your own formatted version of the text in a custom
property which you then read and display in your own application - however
this won't get synchronised with Outlook/Exchange.
