Upgrading to .Net Framework 2.0


Basic4ppc uses Microsoft .Net Framework as its core.
The desktop works with .Net Framework 1.1 and the device works with the .Net Compact Framework (.Net CF) 1.0 SP3.
Devices with WM2003 SE or WM5 include the .Net CF 1.0 SP3 installed in ROM.
WM6 devices include .Net CF 2.0 installed in ROM.
The .Net 2.0 introduces new features and better performance.
Some new libraries like the SQL library will only work under .Net 2.0.
Upgrading to .Net 2.0 will also improve the performance.

Installing .Net 2.0 on the device (installed in RAM):

.Net CF 2.0

Installing .Net 2.0 on the desktop:

.Net Framework 2.0

Now when you run Basic4ppc it will use the .Net Framework 2.0.
The framework version appears in the About box.
Some notes:
- Pocket PC 2000 and Pocket PC 2002 do not support .Net CF 2.0
- The Config files are now created by Basic4ppc.
- The Config file (app.exe.config) should be distributed together with the executable if it uses a .Net 2.0 library.
