Bridges the gap between .NET and .NET Compact Framework development.
The Compact Framework brings familiar .NET development to mobile devices.
This technology enables millions of Microsoft programmers to develop Windows CE applications.
Written by two Microsoft Compact Framework team members.
The primary goal of .NET Compact Framework is to bring the familiar experience of developing .NET applications for the desktop to the device world. Of the approximately six million Microsoft desktop developers in the world, it is estimated that perhaps two hundred thousand will turn their attention to the device world using the enabling technology of the .NET Compact Framework. To facilitate the goal of showing readers how to develop applications for the .NET Compact Framework, the book contains in-depth treatment in the following topic areas: Windows Forms and Threading, Network Programming, ADO.NET Dataset, XML Serialization, SQL CE, Web Services, and performance management. Each concept is accompanied with a sample application that illustrates its implementation on the .NET Compact Framework. For the convenience of the reader, each sample application will be offered in both C# and Visual Basic. Developers can use this source code as a springboard for creating their own device side database applications.
Erik Rubin and Ronnie Yates are both uniquely qualified to write this book as they are on the .NET Compact Framework team at Microsoft Corporation and their experiences include work on a number of integrated technologies such as XML, Web Services, and ADO.NET.
