Improvement in Visual Studio 2008 and .NET Compact Framework 3.5 for Windows Mobile developers
Andy Wigley
Not a great session. Compact Framework (CF) is a subset of .NET Framework for windows mobile devices.
It doesn’t have server technologies as ASP.NET and .NET Remoting. Doesn’t support Reflection. Some properties, events and methods were dropped from the original framework.
In about 10% of space of the original framework, it has about 30% of the functionality.
It has support for a subset of LINQ and WCF. The CF has now an audio API.
Visual Studio 2008 has support for Unit Testing, has a new version for the emulator (version 3.0) and supports Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK out of the box. VS 2008 has a Security Manager, which enables you to test your software in various possible security configurations in Windows Mobile.
