Building the business of tomorrow with developers today
November 29, 2007Nov 29, 200711/29/07A lot of questions on the MSDN forums center around how to customize a device or an app to prefer a specific network connection over another. The correct way to accomplish this is by “provisioning” the device. In fact a great many aspects of the device and the applications on it can be configured through ‘provisioning’
November 19, 2007Nov 19, 200711/19/07A bug was discovered recently in the .NET Compact Framework version 2.0 (SP2 and earlier) and 3.5 that causes HttpWebRequest’s directed at some HTTPS servers to fail with this error: (for web services)

November 5, 2007Nov 5, 200711/5/07The XmlSerializer in NetCF 2.0 has a bug where if a single serialization requires reflecting into types that use a mixture of Collection<T>-like types for the same T the XmlSerializer will throw an exception. Here an example where CF 2.0 would crash:
1 2 3 4 | <span class="kwrd">public</span> <span class="kwrd">class</span> SerializingType1 { <span class="kwrd">public</span> <span class="kwrd">string</span>[] FirstNames; <span class="kwrd">public</span> List<<span class="kwrd">string</span>> PhoneNumbers; } |
This type would fail to serialize under NetCF 2.0 because T = string would appear in two kinds of collections.
