Do any of you have any information about CF SP2?

Estimated release date?
Fixes/changes included?

I am doing some development on a project and am trying to decide if I should
spend the time to work around the problems or wait for SP2 and hope the
problems are fixed.
Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Elmer,

There was a recent posting inviting members of this list
to participate in the beta of SP2 at:

http://groups.google.com/groups
q=ANN+SP2+group:microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.compactfr
amework&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-
8&group=microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.compactframework&
selm=uz9J3I%24nDHA.2272%40tk2msftngp13.phx.gbl&rnum=3

There's also a list of fixes/updates in SP2 that appeared
on this list a while back, but I can't remember them all -
try searching this list using Google.

Cheers

Vince

memory leak

name that has no prefix and there is no default namespace defined
- Web services: Incorrect handling of null headers in SOAP messages

is it too late to ask the same for click events?

if so, can we at least get the screwy behavior of SelectedIndexChanged on
bound listboxes fixed?

Yes, sometime before the end of the year. I know this is not a concrete date
(obviously) but it's not too far away.

Hi Khorad, the SP2 fix list is locked down. We are working hard on testing
compatability with 1.0 and 1.0SP1 right now.

Tim is correct. Our objective is to release SP2 before the year's end.

that's great news.

Do you know if there is built-in support for sending DIME attachments to a
webservice in service pack 2?

thanks.

Hi Mark,

SP2 will not have built-in support for DIME. There was an article by Casey
Chesnut floating around a while back, in which he had DIME working on the
..NET Compact Framework. I have been trying to locate it for you but the site
where it was hosted appears to be down.

Maybe someone here has a copy or knows where it is now.
