Sunday, August 04, 2002.NET Compact Framework Resource Site
The .NET CF Resource site has been substantially updated and we now have the discussion group online. If you have a questions about the .NET Compact Framework, information that you would like to share or you just want to see what other people are doing with the .NET Compact Framework, this is the list for you.
IDSS has a DG for .NET CF source samples, and microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.compactframework has been a great source of information for me.
XML support under the CF has been driving me nuts for most of today. My first problem was that XMLNode.AppendChild was throwing an ArgumentException. I spent hours re-arranging code, building tests, and bashing my head against the wall... only to discover that my problem was in the documentation. AppendChild won't take child object that was created with a different XMLDocument instance. Doh! That wasn't an issue under the old COM libraries...
New problem is that XPath isn't available with the CF. The documentation is conflicting. The .NET CF Program Manager posted that it's not supported due to "size/performance requirements." Ironic considering that the COM libraries on CE do support XPath -- the performance sucks, but we are talking about a 200MHz PDA. Unfortunately, the CF doesn't support COM Interop either...
Such is the price of coding on the bleeding edge...
