.NET Compact Framework Team

This is an update to the list of applications and libraries built for the .Net Compact Framework started by Mike Zintel in his blog in December 2004.  Since December, our team has been growing our list of applications built on the .Net Compact Framework.  We're making good progress and are always looking for new applications and places to find them.  Finding applications is somewhat of a paradox in that there are more applications available every day, but fewer list .Net Compact Framework in their list of requirements.  Instead the applications list the version of Windows Mobile where the framework comes built into the device's ROM.  This is great for Windows Mobile users, but makes it hard to make a positive ID on .Net Compact Framework applications.

As with the last list, there are some very cool things in this list too.  Check out GPSdash2 and ChemRef applications.

If you have time, we're asking for ISVs to download the latest V2 Beta version of the .NET Compact Framework runtime, test your applications against it, and provide us feedback.

1. Install .NET Compact Framework V2 Beta runtime on your device

   Note that you do not need the Visual Studio 2005 Beta to test your code against the device runtime.  But if you’d like to get more info about Visual Studio 2005, you can get it here:
   http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/vs2005/get/
2. Create a configuration file to run against V2 in side by side environments (i.e., where you have v1 & v2 on same device)

3. Give us feedback and report compatibility issues via Product Feedback Center

If your application isn't our the list, we'd love to hear about it -- send us some email at cfapp@microsoft.com.

Now, onto the list (pocket pc, smartphone, libraries):
