Hi, i´m new to CF. I´m developing in C# and VS 2008.

I was reading how to develop Mobile app and i found:

Smart client software favtory
Mobile client software factory

Ones is better that another ? Ones is deprecated ?? Which of them i need to
study ??


Really, thanks in advanced

I'd say it greatly depends on what you need. The mobile client software
factory has a lot in it. Some of it can be useful but most of it is
overengineered, complex and performs poorly. I'd definitley not use it as a
DI container (I like http://ioc.codeplex.com a lot better, but I'm probably
biased). For the offline application stuff, it seems reasonable.

Miriam,

Depending on what you need to accomplish, the software factories may be a
bit heavy. I'd suggest starting with this and using it as a guide:

It gets updated every year to illustrate best practices with new technology.

This one also looks interesting if you're more focused on building consumer
rather than line of business apps:
