Abstract

One of the first things that I hear developers complain about with the .NET Compact Framework is that something crucial to their development style is missing. That “something” could be any number of things, from an item that is seriously significant, meaning it affects me as well, to the mundane, which is another way of saying some feature that I had never intended to use in the first place. I think they (Microsoft) have done a good job of taking a 400-pound gorilla of a product (the .NET Framework) and shrinking it to a mere Chihuahua in size (the .NET Compact Framework).
