without using OpenNet sources.

thanks in advance,

hi,
if we are using opennetcf's controls, then we have to include more and more
third party(opennet) libraries/dlls for each and every extra functionality
that is not currently supported by Microsoft. May be in the near future,
Microsoft will provide all these functionalities in the next version, say VS
2005 for compact devices. Otherthan this, there is no guarantee that
opennetcf will provide components/controls as good as microsoft and will
continue their support to their earlier products.

could you please clarify one more doubt? i am developing an application in
vs 2003(vb.net). if i am downloading vs 2005 beta(or the latest one) and use
it to continue my development of the same project, can i use the rich set of
controls along with the previous controls of vs2003? any problems will
arise/any precautions i have to take while opening and developing the earlier
project in vs2005?

kindly reply,

regards,
hari

So what? If it's there from MS or a 3rd party, it still takes up space.
What does the origin matter if it provides a viable solution? What exactly
does "supported by Microsoft" buy you that makes it better than an
equivalent from someone that isn't Microsoft?

They'll never provide 100% of what everyone wants. It's just not feasible
or realistic to expect.

OpenNETCF is designed to enhand what Microsoft provides, so to say it's "not
as good" doesn't make sense. It makes the existing CF better.

The source is freely available. If we are all at a convention and our bus
drives off a cliff, you can still work with it and fix any bugs you happen
to find.

2005 has all of the controls from 2003. Nothing was deprecated (that I'm
aware of anyway) so anything you do would be an extension of your 03
project. Obviously apps developed with 05 won't run against the CF 1.0
assemblies nor will you be able to go back and open it with 03

IMO, OpenNETCF seems to be better than MS controls ;-)
I think MS should focus on the platform and let others do the nice
controls..

You can create your own control based on System.Windows.Forms.Control and
then draw the text at a desired point. This way you can align it. I am not
sure exactly how its done but I know it can be done.
