happy new Year,

Yes, this is the question:
Did CF3.5 run om WM2003SE ?
thanks for competent answers
bye
Rainer Borchmann
 
The CF 3.5 is supported on the following platforms:

Windows Mobile 2003 for Pocket PC.
Windows Mobile 2003 for Pocket PC SE.
Windows Mobile 5.0 for Pocket PC.
Windows Mobile 6.0 for Pocket PC.
Windows Mobile 5.0 for Smartphone.
Windows Mobile 6.0 for Smartphone.
Windows Embedded CE 6.0.
 
Not Windows CE 5.0?

Plus do you know when the Windows CE QFE might be released?

Thanks,
- John
 
It is very disappointing. I will try to find out the reasons why. Seems
upgrading to CE 6.0 is the only answer if you wish to make use of CF 3.5.

Odd, considering that there's no such thing as "Windows CE .NET 5.0"...

Yea, I know. Name changes don't always get through to everyone. Maybe you
can ask on the .NET CF blog and the Microsoft guys can make clear what it is
that they actually support... I don't have the URL in front of me, but it
shouldn't be too hard to find (either in the archives of this group or with
a search of the Microsoft or MSDN sites).

;) Tell it Microsoft. A Google search on microsoft.com gives about 39
results for "windows ce .net 5.0" including a platform builder update...

On http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2636831&SiteID=1 Ilya Tumanov (Microsoft) states:

Q: Which versions of the device OS are supported by NETCF 3.5?

A: Windows Mobile 2003 For Pocket PC (both first and second editions), Windows Mobile 5.0 (all flavors), Windows Mobile 6 (all flavors), Windows CE 4.2 (AKA Windows CE .Net), Windows CE 5.0, Windows Embedded CE 6. Windows CE is a customizable OS and must include NETCF V 3.5 dependencies in order to run NETCF V 3.5. Contact your device OEM to find out if particular OS has them.

So it seems even CE 4.2 is supported - great news.

John,

I would consider Ilya's response on the forum to be definitive, but do note
this part of the reply:

"Windows CE is a customizable OS and must include NETCF V 3.5 dependencies
in order to run NETCF V 3.5. Contact your device OEM to find out if
particular OS has them."

In other words, it can depend on the particular device.
 
Simon,

I agree it is confusing. I just trust Ilya, and I don't have a CE 5 device
to test this with. ;-)
 
I too trust Ilya and I too don't have a CE 5.0 device to test on. I think it
might be CE 5.0 Platform Builder (embedded) that is not supported. I think
this is worth contacting the CF team to clarify.

Simon,

Also the MSDN page references VS 2008, so deployment might be an issue.
Again, I can't really test it so if anybody else can, that would be great.
 
Ok, so it looks like it is supported but we would need it in a QFE
(embedded) to be of any use. I hope MS release a QFE for it for 5.0 and 6.0
soon.

Thanks all...
- John
