Compact Framework design goals Target mobile and embedded devices Portable subset of .NET Framework No new ‘compact’ namespaces C# and Visual Basic .NET compiler support Leverage Visual Studio .NET Run managed .EXEs and .DLLs directly Debug with Visual Studio .NET Peacefully co-exist with host OS Run on native threads, P/Invoke to native code

Compact CLR common features Verifiable type safe execution No uninitialised variables, unsafe casts, bad array indexing or bad pointer arithmetic Garbage collection No reference counting and no leaks JIT compilation Error handling with exceptions Common type system Call, inherit, and source-level debug across different languages

Compact CLR differences No COM Interop Good support for calling native DLLs Can call COM objects through DLL wrappers Can’t write COM / ActiveX in C# or Visual Basic No install-time JIT (nGen) No reflection emit No remoting Client web services are fully supported No generic serialisation DataSets can be serialised to XML Subsets of other areas of functionality

DEMO Create a Web Service Create a Pocket PC 2003 client application Deploy the application to the Pocket PC 2003 emulator
