Install Compact framework SP3 on mylocal machine


Install Compact framework SP3 on mylocal machine sameer

dotnet compact framework:
I updated my machine( windows Xp running Visual studio 2003) with SP3 for
..Net compact framework by running the .net compact framework distribution kit
which then also updated my device( Symbol MC9000 hand held barcode scanner)
as well. Before this i did not have any service pack for Compact Framework at
all. And the installl said it ran successful. When I executed
system.environment.version.tostring() in my mobile application code and run
it which runs in windows CE.net emulator it still show me the version of the
..net compact framework 1 without any service pack instead of version #for
SP3. Also when i tried accessing some of the previously inaccessible
functions which can be overriddeen with the new servicepacks(like
getwebrequest and getwebresponse), it still shows me syntax errors. Am i
doing something wrong here? Please suggest as to why my visul studio 2003 is
not being updated wth SP3 for Compact .net framework.

Thanks

Installing SP3 (or any other Compact Framework service pack) will not update
Visual Studio files. This has been extensively discussed here

i did all that but even then it is not working.
i made sure i followed all the instructions step by step and when the
emulator loaded i saw it run those files.
I took the develper version of CF SP3 and pasted the right file under the
right folder of Visual studio but the emulator still shows the old version.
Also in my VS2003, i am not able to use the webservice methods getwebrequest
and getwebresponse functions for mobile developement, i think that installing
SP3 on local machine should at the least let me do that, not talking anything
about the emulator at all.

please suggest, there still is discussion to be done even after the google
newsgroup posting that you suggested.

thanks

For intellisense and compiler to pick up the new method definitions you need
to expand one of the cabs that are included in SP3 and rename
00system.013 to System.dll, then place it into
CompactFrameworkSDK\v1.0.5000\Windows CE directory

In fact, take a look at this post. It has the complete list of renames
