Mehyar Posted August 15, 2003 Posted August 15, 2003 Hi guys, I have read a couple of articles about .NET Compact Framework but I still have some questions.... 1) If i am working with VS.NET 2002 and have the .NET Framework 1.0 installed, Is the .NET Compact Framework installed with the .NET Framework ?? Or Should I install the .NET Compact Faremework seperately?? 2) If i have to install the Compact framework, Where can i find it ?? 3) Is developing for mobile devices very different than normal PCS?? Thx in Advance, Quote Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today
*Experts* mutant Posted August 15, 2003 *Experts* Posted August 15, 2003 1. It doesnt come with VS.NET 2002 and .NET Framework either. But it somces with VS.NET 2003. 2. Im not really sure but you could try searching the .NET Framework part of MSDN: msdn.microsoft.com/netframework 3. Not much different, some classes are not available to the compact framework. Quote
aewarnick Posted August 16, 2003 Posted August 16, 2003 (edited) Wow! the dot net compact frm is only 3.11 megs! Could I use VS .net 2002 to make programs that run solely from the compact framework? Provided of course that I don't use any of the classes that aren't there. Here is where you can download it: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=78974b4d-1bc6-4f29-8bd5-5ad5a37c7408&DisplayLang=en The problem I am having is that my programs want the mscoree.dll and apparently the comp fwk does not have it. Is this a lost cause? Edited August 16, 2003 by aewarnick Quote C#
*Experts* mutant Posted August 16, 2003 *Experts* Posted August 16, 2003 Aewarnick, that is only a runtime and not the SDK, you need the SDK to develop for the Compact Framework, and Compact Framework is for small devices like Palms or Windows CE computers not PCs. Quote
Cyrus Posted August 16, 2003 Posted August 16, 2003 Maybe you have this problem because you created a Windows Application instead of a Smart Device Application? If its an API problem: Most API problems are solved by replacing "mscoree.dll" with "corelib.dll" But don't forget that the Windows CE API doesn't have all Windows API functions! Windows CE API Reference (msdn.microsoft.com) I'm not sure but I think they have also a Windows CE API Viewer there... Quote
Mehyar Posted August 19, 2003 Author Posted August 19, 2003 I have downloaded from Microsoft Mobile Development Kit, does that include the SDK for the compact framework??? If not then where can i find it I need to start working on it.. Thx in advance Quote Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today
