GetWebRequest override in SP1 (only for SmartPhones?)

[casey chesnut]

i have installed .NETcf SP1 (since 8/20 release), as well
as the Smartphone SDK.

when i create a SmartPhone project and add a web
reference, i can override GetWebRequest on the
SoapHttpClientProtocol.

when i create a PocketPC or WindowsCE project, i cannot
override it.

my assumption was that if i could do it in the SmartPhone
projects, then i could do the same for PPC and CE projects
with SP1 installed.

Thanks
casey

Casey,

You are correct. With SP1 installed on the PocketPC, you should be alble
to override GetWebRequest. The problem you are experiencing is a result of
compiling the application against the RTM version of the .NET CF.
Currently the SP1 binaries are not used when compiling against a
PocketPC/WinCE application type. Unfortunately, there is not currently a
Visual Studio Update available to automatically update the necessary
binaries to SP1.

To get the right behavior, you would need to copy the SP1 DLL's over top of
your existing DLL's in Visual Studio.
