.Net Compact Framework 2.0 Comparison

[Guest]

Dear sirs,
We are evaluating to use Visual C# 2005 for future projects on both Desktop
and PPC platform.
Where can we find an EXACT AND DETAILED comparison about Desktop versus
PocketPC classes?
The intention is to avoid to use classes of .net framework that are not
allowed on PocketPC to simplify portability or our applications.
Also we are interested in a detailed description on 1.0/1.1 and 2.0 classes
differences.
Thanks,
Jaime.

I've never seen anything "exact and detailed". MSDN lists what methods are
CF supported, and there are some posters out there, but I've not seen a
piece-by-piece breakdown (it would be too large an unmanageable IMHO
anyway). If you want to avoid classes not supported on the Pocket PC,
develop the thing as a Compact Framework solution.

Thanks for this first approach, Chris.
I think a complete list of supported and not supported .Net classes are not
too large and unmanageable (without members).
A tree-like list with check marks for 1.0 1.1 2.0 and CF 1.0 and 2.0 would
be great for every multiplatform developer.
I will consider your suggestion as a backup, if no other post.

The missing classes isn't what's going to make development a challenge -
that's pretty easy. The thing that will bite you if you start with a
desktop solution is missing methods or overrides of methods in the CF.
