.NET compact frmework 2.0 in catalog

Hi:

Have any one using Platform builder (Windows CE 5.0) and with .NET compact
framework 2.0?

How can I added the .NET compact framework 2.0 into platform builder's
catalog, just like the version 1.0 was in the catalog. So new platform
project, I could simple add it into the workspace!

I need some help about it.

Thanks
Lu

It came as a QFE to Platform Builder a while back. If you haven't installed
the QFEs, you don't have it. Of course, you should always be updating with
the latest QFEs, anyway...

I don't think that the QFE actually adds it to the catalog. IIRC you need
to run File\Manage Catalog Features and import the CEC file.

Paul was right. All you have to do is install the QFE's, these
automatically add to the catalog. If you have all the QFE's to date
then you should have .NET Compact Framework 2.0 and 3.5.

If you are correct, and I don't doubt that you are, I am pretty sure that if
you fix the catalog the CF 2.0 is not there. This is becuase the cec file
is not added to the default list.

start from scratch, Install CE5, roll-up to 2006. The .NET CF V.2 was in the
catalog list. Using a older workspace with .NET CF v. 1 already in, then add
v. 2 into the workspace, but the "SDK" of the workspace could not build, so
checked the "sysgenSetting.out" and "Set sysgen", found SYSGEN_NET was
different?
That means, a Windows CE system can NOT has both version co-existence?
Thanks

There absolutely no reason whatsoever to have more than one version of .NET
CF in the OS, so yes, I'd guess that's probably true. You can certainly
*install* a newer version to a device that already has an older one in it,
of course.

you are great. How the "system.dll", System.Drawing.dll, etc, v.2 .NET CF
files build into NK.Bin? because my CF example, could not load System.dll yet?
Thanks

I'm afraid that I don't understand the question. If you add the .NET CF 2.0
item to the OS from the catalog, the appropriate DLLs *are* added to the OS
and your .NET CF 2.0-based application will just run, assuming it doesn't
reference something *else*, that's not part of the .NET CF 2.0 itself. What
error are you getting, if you are getting one? What application?

hi:
Thank you.

The C# example, use System. System.Drawing, System.Windows.Forms. etc.
So the project reference has three System.dll, System.Drawing.dll, and
System.Windows.Forms.dll.

In the "_FLATRELEASEDIR" also has all DLLs, but after load NK.bin to the
target device, the DLLs could not found on the windows directory or anywhere.

So I checked the "CE.BIB" file, the .NET CF just has mscoree.dll,
mascoree2_0.dll netcfag12_0.dll ... files were included in the NK.BIN.

So, My question, how can I get all "system......dll" included into NK.bin?
Do I have to include the dlls in Platform.bib ?

Thanks
Lu

How are you looking? Most of the files that are part of the OS have the
hidden bit set on them and virtually everything has the system bit set. If
you're using Windows CE Explorer, you won't see them. In this case, though,
those assemblies are not there in the form of DLL files, anyway. They are in
the global assembly cache (GAC), straight out of the make image operation in
Platform Builder. Look up GACxyz in the Windows folder and you'll see them.

You're getting off track by thinking that somehow you should have to check
for this file or that file being in the operating system to decide what
components are built in. If you'd just run a .NET CF 2.0 application as a
test, you'd have seen that everything was fine.
