Hi.
I was hoping someone could recommend a book on developing with the compact framework 3.5.
There are a few around in the shops for cf 2.0 but I want to get the most up to date stuff, so has anyone read any books on developing with cf 3.5 that they could recommend I would appriciate it.

Hi
Is there a ROM available that supports .NET Compact Framework Version 2?
If so, what version is it, and where could I get it from?
Any help appreciated...
the normal frameword 2 is not even released yet
and have compability issues with 1.1 code
so i doubt you'll be seing a rom any time soon which include it
prob when it get released you can get an update
.NET CF 2.0 Beta
you don't need a new rom, if you're using VS2005 Beta1 (other than the express editions) VS will deploy the CF on your device , as well as your prog
hope this helps
can anyone point me in the direction of some help or a guide to getting started with wm5 dev ?
just looking for a "hello world" level walk through at the moment.
thanks in advance.
WM5 Dev
Get hold of Visual Studio .NET 2005 and examine the example programs Goodluck!
do i need to install the dotnet framework on wm5 or is it built-in ?
cheers
You need Active Sync 4 during development. You may wish to run the sample program in your WM5 device OR using a WM5 emulator. If you chose to run it on your device, cradle your device and VS.NET 2005 will install .NET compact framework on your device before it attempts to run your sample program using your device
thanks for taking the time to answer. i would have thought that the dotnet framework would have been built-in with wm5.
no-one likes to have to install extra programs to get an app to work.
I am not sure with the "newer" WM5 devices out there. I have an XDA II with the first leaked WM5 ROM and it does not have the latest .NET CF...
If you have a WM5 device, verify the .NET CF version you have by running: \Windows\cgautil.exe
i have 1.0.4292.00 installed on my wizard.
how does this compare to dotnet v1.1 or v2 ?
cheers.
I guess it is not the latest version. VS.NET 2005 needs CF v2 in order for programs to run properly.
Hi there.
I'm planning on embarking on PPC development journey as well.
Yet to get hold of VS.NET.
I was just wondering, if anyone would know how the app in the link works:

Does it link to the registry, etc?
It obviously does not work on WM5, and I would appreciate if anyone could gimme a headstart on working one for WM5.
Thanks!

You can develop .net CF 1.0 applications in VS.NET 2005. Then you don't need to install the .net CF 2.0 on the device. There are some handy things that's missing in 1.0, but almost everything can be done... just not as easy as in 2.0

There is a fairly simple problem that seems to be just beyond the grasp of the non-developers/chefs amongst us. We are trying to work out how to uninstall .NET Compact Framework 2 SP2 from our ROMS so that we can install v3.5 which speeds up the phones software by approx 20%. (A much greater increase in efficiency than any upgraded ROM with new WM6 build could offer). Please could someone with the know-how take a look at the following thread and provide some insight:

Much appreciated.
if you can just install the newer .net then it should be used for all .net related software
of cause it will take up space in the mem not being in the rom and all
If you do this, it doesnt provide the increase in speed in apps. Also many programs do only still see version 2 sp2.
it dont matter what .net version it use
the latests framework installed will always handle all .net
stuff
which is why that people who have .net3.5 and not .net2 can still
run .net2 applications or .net1.1
If you install Schaps Advanced Config tool it tell you which .NET version is installed. If you install v3.5 it does not change from saying 2.0.7450.0 or something like that.
I want to find a way to get the cpu usage for a special process in .NET CF 3.5 or 2.0. As you may know, System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter won't work in CF. How can I do it then? I'm desperately in need of help.

Hey, you will need to install sqlceserver 3.5 also (http://scilor.funpic.de/fuelblaster.html just download the sql fix from fuelblaster and install the 3 cabs, if it still doesnt works, try to set your .net framework to 3.5 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2850119 bottom (netcfcfg.cab)))
you may also reinstall .net framework 3.5
yes, SQLCEServer not included into my ROM. You need install it separately.
thanks for your help scilor and for the nice program too. it works now and it will help me a lot now.
Cotulla i'm thanking you too for your great rom and for your hard work to publish 3 roms in one month
