Need to write a program for MC2100 under Windows CE 6

Hi for all!
I recently purchased an MC2180 barcode data reader running Windows CE 6.0.
I try to write a program (essentially is a form) with a button for triggering the laser and a listbox where the readed barcodes are appearing.
I would like to write the program in C# for VS2010. My problem is that  I cannot find the dll-s for MC2100 which I should attach to my solution. I had a similar project with a Datalogic Memor handheld computer for which I received an SDK and the needed dll-s written to a CD.
So essentially my question is: how can I insert a triggering button to my form in such a way that the button let trigger the scanner's laser?
I have found this page https://portal.motorolasolutions.com/Support/US-EN/Resolution?solutionI…
where I downloaded the SDK for Windows, but this is not an SDK for Win CE, but for a desktop computer.
So momentarily I cannot find any point to start my project from.
I am waiting for responses.

Hi Lorincz,
MC2180 is supported by our EMDK for .NET, latest available version is v2.9 that you can find on our support website:

However, to write applications for Windows CE6.0, you can't use VisualStudio 2010, because it does not support this class of devices. You've to use Visual Studio 2008 or 2005SP1, as explained on the EMDK release notes.

Ciao
