dotnet compact framework:
CE 4.2 is not supported in VS2005, for that platform you should continue to
use VS2003

..NETCF v2.0 is not supported on CE.NET 4.2 (With the exception of Pocket PC
2003), so you cannot use the latest SQL Mobile engine on CE.NET 4.2 - you'll
need to stick to Sql CE 2.0 and .NETCF v1.0 or upgrade your device to CE
5.0.

but i need to target CE4.2 urgently please? is there any workaround .
the idea is that i need to use SQLServer CE coming with CF2 which has
resultSet instead of dataset. but i cannot use it from VS2005 since it doesnt
target CE4.2
so i am enforced to try from VS2003 .
is there any solution . this is very urgent please.

CE 4.2 is officially not supported. That does not mean CF V2 won't run on CE
4.2 at all.

That means it's untested and should you have any issues with it - you're on
your own.



As to MinVersion, it's set to 5 for all CF V2 CABs but PPC 03.

If you're using PC 03 CAB on CE 4.2 be advised it will be restricted to PPC
platform to allow for ActiveSync.

It's probably possible to tweak the CAB, but it might be a license
violation.

And it sure would break digital signature we're planning to add for security
reasons.



Best regards,



Ilya

I am running CF 2 and SQL Mobile code on CE.NET 4.2 without issue. The
"minversion" attribute of my Smart Device CAB is 4.

Hussein:
I did nothing special. The Beta 2 doc here:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/library/ms172550(en-us,vs.80).aspx, lists CE .NET
4.1, 4.2, and 5.0 as supported, so I merely built a CAB and deployed it to
my device.

Ilya: You are saying this documentation is wrong, and these are NOT
supported?

Dear Damon ,

would you please tell me how did you do that ?
i need that urgently .
the problem is i need to use ResultSet instead of DataSet so i have to use
the New ADO.NET with CF2 Provider . and the device i have is using CE4.2
so if i go to VS2005 i will be faced that it doesnt support CE4.2
and if i go to VS2003 i will be faced that i cannot use CF2
so i need a solution pleae .

Sadly, yes, the documentation is wrong. Its pre release documentation,
though, and it expected to have bugs in it.



CF V2 is supported on:



1. Pocket PC 2003.

2. Magneto SmartPhone and PocketPC.

3. Windows CE 5.0.



SP 2002 and 2003, PPC 2000 and 2002, WCE 4.x and below are NOT supported by
CF V2.



By the way, if you have Beta 2, the only CE project type you can create is
CE _5.0_ project type.



Best regards,



Ilya

You're not listening. SQL Mobile and CF 2.0 are not supported on CE 4.2
unless it's a PPC 2003 device. Period. While it may work, if there are
problems you have no recourse, and the instals will liklely not work in the
release versions. Point blank - quit trying to make it work. Upgrade the
device to 5.0, or code against CF 1.0.

That doc is definitely wrong. It's been a point of contention, but the
decision was made that only 5.0 would be supported (unless it's a PPC 2003).
