Do any of you have any information about CF SP2?

Estimated release date?
Fixes/changes included?

I am doing some development on a project and am trying to decide if I should
spend the time to work around the problems or wait for SP2 and hope the
problems are fixed.
Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.
 
Hi Elmer,

There was a recent posting inviting members of this list
to participate in the beta of SP2 at:

http://groups.google.com/groups?

amework&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-

selm=uz9J3I%24nDHA.2272%40tk2msftngp13.phx.gbl&rnum=3

There's also a list of fixes/updates in SP2 that appeared
on this list a while back, but I can't remember them all -
try searching this list using Google.

Cheers

Vince

Click to expand...

is it too late to ask the same for click events?

if so, can we at least get the screwy behavior of SelectedIndexChanged on
bound listboxes fixed?
 
Yes, sometime before the end of the year. I know this is not a concrete date
(obviously) but it's not too far away.
 
that's great news.

Do you know if there is built-in support for sending DIME attachments to a
webservice in service pack 2?

thanks.
 
Hi Mark,

SP2 will not have built-in support for DIME. There was an article by Casey
Chesnut floating around a while back, in which he had DIME working on the
..NET Compact Framework. I have been trying to locate it for you but the site
where it was hosted appears to be down.

Maybe someone here has a copy or knows where it is now.

I have it. Luckily he heard I was looking for it and e-mailed it to me. I
was just checking to see if this was going to be built-in to the framework
in future versions.
Thanks.
 
Too bad. It would have been nice to get the mouse events too. I wonder if
the documentation will be updated to indicate that the mouse events are NOT
supported for the treeview. Currently the docs indicate that it should be
supported.
