What is .NET Compact Framework?
.NET Framework
.NET Compact Framework
What is .NET Compact Framework? Lightweight version of .NET Framework
Designed for resource-constrained devices
Compatible with VS.NET, C#, VB.NET
Runs applications securely on-device
High performance JIT compiler
What is .NET Compact Framework? Guarantees robustness and security
Highly interactive, offline, and networked
experiences
Makes it easy to consume web services
Tunable size and performance
.NET CF – Design Goals
Small CLR for Devices
Leverage VS to design, develop & debug
Web Service Access on Devices
Run seamlessly with the OS on the devices
Single binary deployment for all Pocket PC
and Windows CE .NET CPUs
Enhanced developer productivity using .NET

.NET CLR Common Features
Verifiable type safe execution No uninitialized variables, unsafe casts, bad array
indexing, bad pointer math
Garbage Collection No ref-counting, no leaks
JIT compilation
Error handling with exceptions
Common type system Call, inherit, and source-level debug across different
languages
Compact CLR Differences
COM Interop Good support for calling native DLLs
Support for calling a COM object through DLL
wrappers
No support for writing a COM / ActiveX object
No Install-time JIT (nGen) / No Reflection Emit
No Remoting / Client web services is fully
supported
No Generic Serialization
Datasets can be serialized to XML
Subsets of other areas of functionality
.NET Framework CLR Size
Framework size (RAM or ROM)
~1.5 MB
Running RAM needs
1 MB+ (depends on app)
Typical application sizes
5 - 100 KB
Apps often smaller due to use of platform
features in the framework
.NET Compact Framework - Features Base Classes
Data/XML
XML Web Service Client
Threading
Native Code Interop
Globalization
Windows Forms Support
Mobile Controls for ASP.NET
Write-once mobile web pages From a single code base target multiple devices
Support for a variety of devices Web enabled Cell Phones, PDAs and Pagers
Support multiple mark-up languages WML1.1 (WAP); cHTML 1.0, HTML, XHTML
Customizable and extensible framework Add new controls and support for new devices
Integrates with Visual Studio.NET World-class development tool
Power Toys for .NET CF
Remote Performance Monitor and GC Heap
Viewer
.NET CF CLR Profiler
App Configuration Tool (NetCFcfg.exe)
.NET CF ServiceModel Metadata Tool
Remote Logging Configuration Tool
.NET CF Network Log Viewer
Summary
Leverage your knowledge and build device
apps!
Desktop framework & tools
.NET languages (C#, VB .NET)
Choose the appropriate project template
Compile, Debug, and Deploy in Visual
Studio .NET
