CF2.0 and CF1.0 controls

[Craig Mellon]

Hi All,

I am currently using a Custom Control for controlling an addon camera. This
control works well in CF1.0 but I cannot add it into my VS2005 toolbox, does
anyone know how i can add a compact framework 1.0 control to the CF2.0
toolbox.

Thanks

Craig

You can't. The designer paradigm for Studio 03 was way different than for
Studio 05. You have to re-do all the designer pieces (it's much simpler in
05)

The control is a 3rd party camera control, and is fairly specialised.

I don;t need the design time support, so that isn;t too much of an issue,
but can I use a control compiled in v1.0 in v2.0

Thanks

In addition to what Chris said, you'll need to ensure that the custom
control is compiled against CF 2.0 in order for it to become visible in the
toolbox when editing a CF 2.0 project.
