Most of the poeple on these forums know little about eVB. That's probably why no one is replying, it's not that they just ignore people.
Try the forums on this website:

They also have lots of good eVB articles.
I tried making a paint program in eVB once too.. but drawing pixels is soooo slow that it isn't even worth trying.. unless you found a miracle way to do it.
If you're interested in serious PocketPC development it's probably worth learning C++.
