2. Goals Overview of CF2.0 and SDF2.0 What’s new in CF 2.0 and SDF 2.0
Why use the .NET CF 2.0 and SDF 2.0
Who’s using the CF and SDF
Get you excited about mobile development

3. Compact Framework Overview
Gives developers the ability to develop for mobile devices
Compact Framework Availability
1.0 – Visual Studio 2003 Professional
2.0 – Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition
CF 2.0 can target Windows Mobile 2003+
Develop using C# and VB.NET
Great opportunities but CF 1.0 had a few shortfalls
Compact Framework started back in 2002 when Smart Device Extensions beta 1 was released for VS2002
With VS2003 code name Everett, Smart Device Extension addon was dropped and it was baked into VS2003 as Smart Device Programmability

MSMQ
MSMQ makes it possible for applications to communicate with other applications across networks and systems that might be temporarily offline.
Gives the ability to read and send messages to other systems
Great on devices because of the disconnected state. MSMQ will deliver the message when there is a connection available.
Registry Keys
Same as the desktop System.Win32.Registry
Serial Port
Same as the desktop System.IO.Ports
Better XML Support
Now supports XPath
Performance improvements
XMLSerializer
Improved threading support
One example is updating the UI from a background thread will cause an exception

5. History of OpenNETCF and the SDF
4/23/ :45 AM
History of OpenNETCF and the SDF
Started back in 2002 when Beta 1 of Smart Device Extensions (pre-CF1.0) released by Microsoft
Grass roots was from Compact Framework newsgroups
Collectively started dumping code on one website
Code converted and organized in the Smart Device Framework
SDF 1.0 released September 2003
Mobile enthusiasts start answering questions in the newsgroups and posting many code samples
Found the same questions and therefore the same answers and code samples kept getting cut and pasted in the newsgroups
Code got dumped into Chris Tacke’s site InnovativeDSS who is a co-founder of ONCF. This way only links would have to be pasted to answer questions
Collectively Windows Embedded MVPs started putting the SDF together which culminated in a 1.0 release in September 2003
That takes us to today with SDF 2.0

Re-enforce how SDF is like an extension to the compact framework and although it’s not required for your commercial or enterprise application, it will make your life as a developer a lot easier. The developer needs to know less about the internals of Windows Mobile and just concentrate on building their application.
