Why is my application unable to access Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, or Call Log information on Windows Mobile 5.0?
Prior to Windows Mobile 5.0, Call Log, Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks data were stored in a CEDB database. The Pocket Outlook Object Model (POOM) API provided access to that data. However, some applications accessed the data directly through CEDB rather than through POOM. Starting with Windows Mobile 5.0, this data is no longer stored in CEDB databases and, as a result, those applications that do not use POOM will no longer be able to access Contact, Calendar, Tasks, and Call Log data. Applications previously using POOM and the call log APIs will run correctly on Windows Mobile 5.0. POOM performance has been improved and new features, such as events and named properties, have been added that address the most common reasons for developers previously by using CEDB instead of POOM.
