Hi,

From what I've read in teh forum, there is no way to get a warning that the 
power off was clicked (on most pda's).
Is there a "human" ;-) way to figure out that the system was turned on?

There is an event I must perform on system powerup.
Currently I'm running a special thread that check if more than 1 second 
passed since last check ...

This is like scratching your left ear with your right arm.

Thanks,

MP.

There are two notifications that you can use - one from the system 
notifications, and one from the power manager.  The Smart Device Framework 
has them both wrapped into managed events (in the 
OpenNETCF.WindowsCE.DeviceManagement and PowerManagement classes IIRC).  The 
other option is to hook them yourslef with P/Invokes - code for both should 
be available (though most likely in C) on the web.
