Detecting whether you're running on smartphone or Pocket PC

In the old days (before Compact Framework 3.5) detecting whether you're running on PPC or smartphone was done using a method such as this.

This is no longer required as the SystemSettings class has been extended to support a Platform property. So now you can easily distinguish the difference between PPC, smartphone or a generic WinCE device. SystemSettings lives in the Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.dll assembly, so you'll need to add a reference to this dll in your project.

The code is very simple and could look like the following:

Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.WinCEPlatform platform = 
Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.SystemSettings.Platform;

switch (platform)
{
    case Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.WinCEPlatform.PocketPC:
         //Do PPC stuff.
         break;
    case Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.WinCEPlatform.Smartphone:
         //Do smartphone stuff.
         break;
    case Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms.WinCEPlatform.WinCEGeneric:
         //Do WinCE stuff.
         break;
}

That's alot cleaner than ugly P/invoke code.
