Hi all,

Just wondering if vs2005 beta 1 is going to support cf 2.0 and if it is
going to have support to try out cf 2.0 based apps.

Anyone know?

Thanks

Sai
 
Hi Ginny,

Where can I find a changelog from CF 1 SP2 to the new CF 2.0?


Cheers,
 
Ignacio,

I don't know of one, sorry. Several of the Microsoft guys associated with
the Compact Framework have presented sessions at MDC and TechEd showing the
changes however, and there are quite a number of new classes and features.
Here's just a sample from my notes (all possibly subject to change):

COM Interoperability - Runtime callable wrappers provide proxies for native
COM Objects and are integrated into VS
Enhanced type marshalling
System.Windows.Forms new controls and properties/events
Control.Handle provides access to native window handle
Control.DoubleClick
ToolBarButton tooltips
Treeview - more events
Form.KeyPreview
Support for TabIndex and TabStop
DateTimePicker
MonthCalendar
LinkLabel
NotificationBubble
Help
RichInk
WebBrowser
DataContainer
UserControl
Clipboard support
Full support for new language features: generics, anonymous methods,
iterators, partial types
Support for direct access to SQL Server Mobile Edition (SqlCe 3.0)
SqlCeResultSet (updateable scrollable cursor)

Also:
Docking and Anchoring like desktop
AutoScroll
ChangeOrientation
Bitmaps
Bitmap.LockBits
Image.Save()

And there's more!
System.Messaging
Faster XmlSerializer and support for serialization, XPath 1.0
Support for SOAP 1.2
Support for Kerberos and NTLM authentication
Support for IPv6
Support for serial port
Support for Crytography

Anyway that will give you and idea - lots of great new stuff.

Very impressive. Hopefully sqlce3.0 runs faster than sqlce2.0. Thanks for
