Limitations on the compact framework.

Hi.

Im new at developing towards the Pocket PC platform. I have programmed
normal windows applications in .NET before.
The question im having is as follows: Due to the limitations in the Compact
Framework i realize there are a number of properties for instance that will
not work in the Pocket PC environment. For instance the BackColor property
on a label. However in Visual Studio intellisense provides you with all the
properties and methods. Is there somewhere a list or document stating what
methods and properties are supported for the various classes to see what
will actually work on the Pocket PC?

And if you have links to Open Source places around the web where people
discuss and show examples of derived controls needed due to the above
mentioned limitations I would greatly appreciate it.

Best Regards

<P>

For open source code and discussions take a look at www.OpenNETCF.org

With regard to the BackColor properties - these will be implemented in the
upcoming Service Pack 2 release due out before the end of the year.

Hi Patrik,

Microsoft Visual Studio 2003 Documentation contains the necessary
information.

If you open the documentation for a property, method, etc and look at the
Platforms section, you should see ".NET Compact Framework" for supported
items.
