OpenNETCF Smart Device Framework Version 1.4 Now Available
The latest release of the most excellent (see what watching Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure for the first time in years does to you?) OpenNETCF Smart Device Framework is now available for download. Here is a quick list of changes, thanks to the equally most excellent blog of Chris Tacke (an SDF contributor and Microsoft MVP):
Bluetooth support added
Serial.GPS mods to standardize naming
Diagnostics.DebugMessage and RetailMessage
Bug fixes in TimeZoneCollection and DateTimeEx
Bug Fix in XmlSerializer for GUIDs
EventWaitHandle.WaitOne bug fix
Additions and fixes for AccessPoint and Adapter classes
Bug fix in StreamInterfaceDriver.DeviceIoControl
ThreadEx.RealTimePrioority added
Updated BatteryLife designer
Updated DateTimePicker Designer
Fixes and Updates to Win32Window
ApplicationEx fix for modal Forms and thread safety added
FTP bug fixes
ControlEx added support for WM_COMMAND
DeviceMonitor adds RequestDeviceNotifications
SelectedIndexChanged fix in ComboBoxEx
WS and WS_EX updated to remove unsupported styles
At the risk of repeating myself, I cannot emphasize enough what a valuable set of tools the Smart Device Framework provides for any Windows Mobile developer. If you have not yet downloaded the SDF, then – what are you waiting for?!? ;-)
