SF with .NET CF?

Well a little after a week I have my first Strataframe application done, sort of. It is just a prototype to show a customer and get their approval to move on but still, in a little over a week a relative .NET newbie has a project done enough to show a client. Good stuff.



The next piece of the project is a handheld application that will use the data collected by the WinForms app. I have experience doing handheld apps with CE 4.0 and CF 1.1. I plan to use CE 5.0 with CF 2.0 this go around, I will also be evaluating using SQLCE versus XML files (which is what I used before) for the datasource(s).



So with that background, does SF include any support at all for developing handheld apps?



I think I know the answer but it never hurts to ask.



Thanks.

Nope, there isn't a StrataFrame for CF2.0... sorry. 

Just as a piece of advice, through, we found that SQL Server CE 3.0 was a much more viable solution than XML files.  Also, when you're working with SQL Server CE 3.0, the System.Data.ResultSet object (I think that's what it's called) provides better memory performance and speed than DataTables and DataSets (and it's basically just a cursor, so think of it that way).

No problem, Keith.
