NET and therefore they may not be compatible with the final release version. Final features are subject to change. In developing applications with SDE, you are targeting the.

NET Compact Framework was designed to be easily ported to other platforms, whether those platforms were created by Microsoft or third-party vendors. What does this mean to you? It means that the apps you create today to run on a Pocket PC could just as easily run on other platforms such as a cell phone or another vendor's PDA, provided that a version of the.
