Installing .Net CF Framework V1 SP2 causes problems?

[Earl]

Doing some additional testing on a new app I am rolling out. So on my dev
PPc, I installed the SP2 CF (as I would expect to be required to do on a new
PPc). Wellllll .. from that point in time forward, the app would fail.
Specifically, I would hit an exception whenever I tried to call a separate
..dll.

Nothing I tried would resolve the issue, even uninstalling the SP2. I
finally did a hard reset, did NOT install the Compact Framework, and no
exceptions! I am speculating that SP2 overwrote some core .dll files, but
this has me baffled.

Anyone seen this or have any clue why??

What exception? When calling what DLL? Calling it how? Show us some code.

Make sure you recompile with the sp and look for errors.

CF V1 Service packs are installed on to devices only, so you can not compile
against SP in VS unless you hack it and not supposed to.



The most common reason for problems with SP2/3 is a fixed bug which won't
allow invalid applications to run any longer.

Thanks all. Application was known good (so code wasn't going to change
anything, although it was an SQL error), just something screwball on the SP
install (I'm speculating some mismatched files). Hard reset fixed it.
