.NET Compact Framework 1.0 for Win CE2.0

CF Framework 1.0 for Win CE2.0

This is a great news! I must admit. I think I'll start developing for SH3 devices a new browser made out of CF Framework... Now that will be alot easier.

Great news: There IS a release for MIPS and ARM already! YAHOOO! The 2.0 MIPS and ARM are in BETA, but I'm sure it will work!

I'm wondering if there's a way to make any existing .NET CF apps work in CE 2.0/2.11 with this.

I think it should work.

Hasn't so far for me.

hmm... That's not good

Maybe some (open-source) programs will work with some hacks. We just gotta figure out what they are.

I'm not 100% sure if the .NET CF 1.0 for CE2.x is complete compared to .NET CF 1.0 for Pocket PCs or not. The reason I'm wondering about this is because I'm thinking they may have slimmed it down for some of the older devices running CE 2.0 that don't have as much RAM. So if this is the case, some of the APIs used by some of the .NET CF 1.0 applications may not exist in this build. Just a guess, as I haven't really looked into the package itself and I don't have any CE 2.x devices anymore.

dstefanov at CodePlex has advised me that this version uses netexec.exe to run .NET CF programs, so they either have to have the file extension .net, or as .exe files have to be run via the Run dialog with netexec.exe [app path].

The site does note that it's not a service pack version of .NET CF 1.0, so any app that requires SP1, SP2, or SP3 may not work. Few apps I've found, however, identify at the download page whether a service pack is required, and those few that do all require SP2 or SP3. Anyone know of any non-service pack .NET CF 1.0 apps I can try? (I have to try MIPS first since, as I've reported to dstefanov, the ARM CE 2.11 version of netexec.exe doesn't seem to work at all.)
