• Smart Device Development 64-bit file support in CE 5.0?

  Hi,    Please forgive & redirect me if I'm in the wrong forum.  I'm just wondering if anyone knows if there is 64-bit file support in Windows CE 5.0.  The CFile::Seek() call takes a LONG value, and SetFilePointer() has a DistanceToMoveHigh value but it's not currently supported according to the docs.    Is there ANOTHER File I/O interface for CE 5.0 which supports 64-bit files, or is there a way to get either of the above methods to work   Thanks in advance.

It may be that there is a marshalling issue with the PInvoke calls.
