DotGNU Ported to PocketPC

This is a significant step because the .NET Compact Framework SDK is heavily licensed, unlike the .NET SDK available for free from MSDN. Thanks to PocketPC#, now you can build Window.Forms C# applications for PocketPC without submitting to Microsoft's exhorbitant SDK licensing fees. Portability to embedded/low-end hardware is one of Portable.net's stated goals. DotGNU Portable.net also works on 9 major CPU architectures according to gentoo's portage. The Darwin-ports features a cool package with Windows.Forms for Mac OS X. Handhelds like iPAQ or Zaurus have also ports (the iPAQ one features Windows.Forms). Esoteric hardware like the Sony Playstation 2 or the Microsoft XBox can also run Portable.net."

If you have an answer, give it to me instead of modding me down for asking questions.

people do not agree with the statement, and it is a touchy subject (for some) and is therefore flaimbait.

I don't agree with it, but hey. That's how things work around here.

Can all search engines handle C#?

Quite a number of them can't handle C++. Java is much easier thing to search for, though you sometimes find things related to coffee.
