Application Block

[Jimm Calery]

Hi, are there any application blocks to work in CF 2.0 ?

Thanks a lot

Microsoft offers several of them for smart devices. That said, my general
opinion is that many of them require a lot of overhead and offer little
benefit. What specific functionality block are you looking for, or are you
simply looking for them because they're the code du jour?

I have written a couple of articles on the data access app block:

Thanks Simon, but which is the difference between Mobile client Software
Factory and Smart Client Softare Factory ??

Thanks a lot!

Good question, which raises a point in my post. My example was based on the
Mobile Client Software Factory not the Smart Client Software Factory. The
SCSF is for the desktop, tablets etc, the MCSF is for Windows Mobile 5 and
onwards. I use the Enterprise library for desktop stuff though.
