Overview

The Microsoft® .NET Compact Framework 2.0 SP1 Redistributable contains the common language runtime and class libraries built for the .NET Compact Framework. In addition to supporting version 2.0, it also supports applications developed for version 1.0 and service pack releases before version 2.0.

Important: This redistributable enables running .NET Compact Framework applications on the Pocket PC, Pocket PC Phone Edition, Smartphone, and other Windows CE powered devices. To develop .NET Compact Framework applications, Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 or the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 SDK are required.

This package uses ActiveSync 4.0 and up to update the device, see the Windows Mobile Center for more information. Be sure to dock your device first before running NETCFSetupv2.msi. If your device is not docked, ActiveSync will store the CAB file until the time when you dock your device. Those not using ActiveSync can run the CAB files which match the device found in the install folder directly on the device.

    Fixed Issues:


    • Changing VT_BYREF Variants in managed code could
      lead to a memory leak.

    • Inappropriate caching of current UI culture even
      after CultureInfo.ClearCachedData is called.

    • For the HttpWebRequest method, an uncatchable
      ObjectDisposedException could occur when exiting an application with
      asynchronous requests.

    • Visual Studio hangs on setting a Breakpoint in a
      function with an infinite loop when it is called from the Immediate
      Window.

    • Breakpoints do not work if the cached, managed
      dlls in the bcl directory differ from the ones on the device.

    • Environment.GetFolderPath returns an
      InvalidOperationException.

    • An access violation occurs when accessing .the
      Controls or .Controls.Count property of a control once it has begun the
      disposing process.

    • The WebBrowser.DocumentCompleted event is fired in
      a loop when the DocumentText property contains an image inside of a
      table.

    • Files should be extracted to the main storage as a
      workaround to avoid hardware issues on some storage cards.

    • For the HttpWebRequest method, an
      ArgumentOutOfRangeException occurs when accessing some https:// URLs.

    • Timer breaks after GetTickCount wraps around (49.7
      days).

    • Error occurs when loading the .NET Compact
      Framework version 2.0 on a device using an ActiveSync push.

    • Memory leaks occur when using Com marshaling.

    • Installer should check for ActiveSync version and
      disable deployment if version is older than ActiveSync 4.0 build 4343.

    • For the SerialPort class, an IOException is thrown
      when opening a serial port on the IPAQ 4150.

    • A call to HttpWebRequest over SSL with a payload
      greater than 32 KB hangs on the client when SendChunked returns false.

    • For the SerialPort class,an uncatchable exception
      occurs when Bluetooth is turned off.

    • A finalizer for the FileStream class will cause
      the application to crash if a previous IO operation failed.

    • Installation of the .NET Compact Framework fails
      on low memory devices.

    • PInvoke return types of UIntPtr throw a
      NotSupportedException.

    • The Debug.WriteLine method in the .NET Compact
      framework version 2.0 is not working.

    • For the SerialPort class, virtual serial ports are
      not reported by the SerialPort.GetPortNames method.

    • When using COM Interop, a VARIANT_BOOL type is
      passed incorrectly on ARMV4I.

    • The .NET Compact Framework incorrectly performs
      version comparison when loading assemblies.

    • ARMV4I runtime should be removed from ARMV4 Pocket
      PC CAB to reduce the size of the CAB.

    • Corrections needed for Http Abort semantics.

    • The DateTime.Now method throws an
      ArgumentOutOfRangeException.

    • Crash caused by using CurrentTimeZone.GetDaylightTime and
      CurrentTimeZone.GetStandardTime in certain rare stress conditions.
