- Modifying the SoapClientMessage.ContentType property does not modify the
Http requests ContentType header.
- Stack corruption can occur on SH, MIPS and x86 platforms when local
variables are created but never used.
- Invoking a multicase delegate from a catch handler throws a
MissingMethodException on SH, MIPS and x86 platforms.
- Command line arguments containing double byte characters are truncated to
a single byte.
- An ObjectDisposedException is thrown when a asynchronous web request is
aborted before the response is received.
- Invoke on a disposed control hangs the application.
- Any array containing one or more elements is not sent to the Web Service
correctly.
- An application may hang when invoking a Web Method that uses multiple
XmlElementAttributes on a single argument, member or property.
- Memory corruption can occur on devices that have the native security model
enabled and both .NET CF V1 SP3 and a pre-release version of .NET CF V2
installed.
- Deadlocks can occur when running under severe resource constraints.
- Tool Bar's on Windows Mobile 2003 SE no longer lose their images when
removed from the form.
- An uncatchable ObjectDisposedException is thrown when the server closes

You beat me by a minute :-D

It seems to be the same as the QFE that was released in November

Cheers
Daniel

 

[Chris Tacke, eMVP]

The QFE was ready before the redistributable? There's a first!

No. Actually this one was even better. IIRC the QFE was *post-SP3*, i.e. it
addressed an issue introduced by SP3.

 

[Peter Foot [MVP]]

The fix list and build numbers looks the same, probably this is a kind of
SP3 Re-release and the previous build destined to be SP3 (which the QFE
refers to) didn't ever get released.

[Daniel Moth]

As we know, every CF release has two parts: MSI and QFE

Given that the build number and fix list are the same, the November QFE *is*
SP3 (unless we get another QFE labelled SP3 which has the same build number,
which would be strange). As for the actual fix list...I have never seen a
fix refer to bugs *it* introduced, so expect a StackOverflow anytime now

In the past we always got the QFE much later hence this is a pleasant
first... for me anyway May I ask for a CF 2.0 Beta QFE please?

Cheers
Daniel

Quoting from your November post:

[QFE Fixlist]
k.. Memory corruption may occur on devices that have the native security
model enabled and both .NET CF V1 SP3.

The grammar notwithstanding, in my book it translates as "fixing an issue
that has SP3 as a prerequisite"

 

[Daniel Moth]

That is exactly my point too:
"I have never seen a fix refer to bugs *it* introduced, so expect a
StackOverflow anytime now "

....maybe I should add: "until now"

Cheers

We had a couple of SP3 release candidates, could the QFE you're talking
about have been RC1? I don't remember issuing a QFE in November (...I sit
in the office next to the builder and across from the release manager!)

If you follow the whole thread you replied to you'll find links to the QFE,
and the fix list published with it.

For your convenience I'll paste one of them here:

Ahhh, Thanks Daniel!

That's our SP3--I was unaware that CE got the release out ahead of us!

Cheers,

Ryan
