.NET Framework footprint

[Guest]

Hi all,

I have added .NET Framework 2.0 ,and all it dependency components, to my
image and i found that, the foot print of the image is increased by 240 MB
Post FBA!!!!

My XPe Image size is increased by more than 2.5 times!

Is there anyway to optimize this??

Thanks,

Not easily. With .NET Framework, it is all or nothing.

Depending on your application, is it possible to write everything in C++?

I'm going to have to second what Sean said. My company recently went
from .NET 1.1 to 2.0 and it increased my overall footprint by an
additional 80MB after the FBA and 2.0 recompile. Our custom Windows
shell is in C++, and works fine, but the program our systems are
designed for are in .NET, so... we're stuck, as well.

Spare the resources and spoil the operating system...
