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...
Life has been keeping me on my toes and away from Pocket Blog. To the people who have been patiently waiting for the next release, I apologize. For those that have sent e-mail due to troubles with Pocket Blog, I am especially sorry. Unfortunately, I do not anticipate being able to provide effective support for Pocket Blog any time soon (especially for problems with installation or initial configuration). My time is constrained and I have only one Pocket PC 2002 device to test and debug with...
I have begun work on porting Pocket Blog to the .NET Compact Framework. I don't want to comit to any sort of timeframe just yet, but I am hopeful...
