Correct. The new devices ship with the initial release of the CF. It looks
like SP1 was finalized after WM2003 RTMed.
 
Neil,

Is there a download somewhere such that the emulator is updated with the
fixes in this service pack for those of us developing with VS.NET 2003?

-Bruce
 
This QFE is the SP1. As with mosty PB QFEs, very little is said about them.

-Chris
 
OK, so how does one write a target install package in VS.NET 2003 for an
application to be installed on a CF.NET device, so that the new SP1
framework gets installed and not the original framework. AND, on a similar
note, if do both frameworks run side-by-side on the CF.NET device so that
you can have executables targeted at both frameworks (like the regular .NET
Framework)?

I don't know what Microsoft's policy on this is, but since there is no API
changes in the Service Pack (hence it being a service pack and not a point
build release), I don't see them release an x86 build anytime soon.

I'll make enquiries though.

Ugh.
For now its going to reside in RAM. Hopefully HP and other OEMs will roll
out ROM updates with the new runtimes shortly...

Not likely.

They are STILL having problems getting the PPC2k2>>2k3 upgrade
out at all...

Since it doesn't fix anything I've run into, I'll just stay put-
 
Thnx...

I guess that defect list is not complete then... The bug where the form
becomes visible after touching certain properties (e.g. WindowState,
ControlBox etc) is also fixed... Nicer debug/diagnostic dialogs are added...
maybe more...

Cheers
Daniel
 
I just tried SP1 and I found the following problems:

1. Some of my buttons (Windows.Forms.Button) don't appear. Why is Visible
false?

2. Disposing a panel from a different thread that created it hangs
sometimes, but it works in the original .NET CF.
