For developers: differences between .NET Compact Framework for Pocket PC and for Smartphone 2003 August 20, 2003 [MS Smartphone] | By anonymous 1. Microsoft lately has released Smartphone 2003 SDK that allows for development of applications either with eVC 4.0 (C++; native applications) or with .NET (C#, VB.NET; managed applications). By now, since quite a long time, developers could write software for .NET Compact Framework for Pocket PC only. So maybe it would be of interest to them to know what is different in .NET CF for Smartphone! Smartphone is generally a smaller device than Pocket PC, so not everything is available... The differences are in the UI controls available on the Smartphone platform. Smartphone does not include the following .NET CF Controls:
SQLServerCE and SQLClient namespaces are not available when developing with Smartphone. Otherwise the same Compact Framework classes are available as on Pocket PC and generic Windows CE.NET configurations. Credit: Peter Foot from inthehand.com. Check out also a spin off web site of msmobiles.com: dotnetdn.com - that is dedicated to .NET Compact Framework software, libraries and controls.
