So will AppCompat not pick up dynamically loaded APIs?

Granted, if your dynamically loading them you should check for errors anyway...

CeAppCompat uses Dumpbin to get the import table from the binary, the import table lists the statically linked DLLs/Functions.

If you are dynamically linking then you should check the external DLLs to make sure they also are compatibile with CE 6.0.

If the CF 2.0 app is using OpenNetCF framework will it check all of the pInvoke calls being made by the app? THX

CEAppCompat is designed to examine the import table of native applications/dlls - managed applications should be checked at the source level.

When can we download an CE 6.0 based emulator image?

Will it give a StandardSDK_600?

Are WCE200 (HPC 2.0) binary files still supported?

Wouldn't it be better to implement deprecated functions as dummy instead of remove them?

Are CEDB api functions still functional?
