We say that the .NET Compact Framework is a compatible subset of the full .NET Framework with few elements existing in the netcf and not the full fx.
For v1.0 I've
mentioned previously and allow me to quote:
"[...] the CF is a subset of the full framework, but a closer look reveals functionality specific to the CF in the Microsoft.WindowsCE namespace (such as MessageWindow and InputPanel), the
infrared classes and of course the
SQL stuff is different."
MSDN has a couple more links for those compact framework unique areas
here and
here.
With v2.0, the CF-exclusive classes grow.
In particular, the
Microsoft.WindowsCE.Forms namespace gains the following elements:
1.
HardwareButton2.
MobileDevice.Hibernate3.
SystemSettings.ScreenOrientation4.
DocumentList5.
Notification6.
LogFontNETCF 2.0 also adds the
Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DirectX and
.Direct3D namespace (as I
mentioned here).
That's it... everything else in the compact framework is API compatible with the full framework. Happy reading :-)
