Smart Device Framework on UserVoice

Add some screen shots to your web page. Desperately needed. [updated]

2009-04-03T15:21:59-03:00

Your website says little about what your framework has or does. List the controls. Show some screen shots. Let me know what it is and I may consider buying it.

The SDF has hundreds of classes and thousands of methods and properties. Can you give us an idea of what kind of list would be more readable that the existing online MSDN-style docs?

Also, a large percentage of what's in the framework are not user controls, so screen shots aren't going to provide much help.

Wrap SetSystemPowerState so we don't have to use P/Invoke [updated]

2009-01-08T18:34:09-02:00

If you look on the forums a few people have used P/Invoke to get their devices into the Fully Powered state etc.

Lori04102007 said:

This would be very useful. Also wrap SetDeviceState, so that we can turn on/off power of the backlight, wifi, bluetooth, etc without all the P/Invoking. My code is much neater if I just make these calls from your library. Thanks!

Not sure what bug you think is there, but if you have found on, please report it over at bugzilla.opennetcf.com so we can track it.

Add SIP Controls

2008-12-05T12:33:12-02:00

Lori04102007 suggested:
Having the ability to control the SIP, SIP button and SIP settings independently with ease would be great. For example, calling up a numeric pad for numeric fields. Or forcing the SIP button to stay hidden without having to tell it to every time the SIP is called. The SIP option button has to be removed in kiosk type apps - having done it, I can say - this is not fun. Thanks!

Add CLR hosting to SDF [is now duplicate]

2008-10-03T12:52:04-03:00

I know this has never been suggested before :-) but here goes... Our industry has a lot of legacy code but would like to start creating and using new components in CF C#. We'd like to see CLR hosting by an unmanaged process.

Add automatic update feature to SDF

2008-10-02T03:43:53-03:00

neilco suggested:
Add the ability for the Smart Device Framework to automatically notify the developer of any updates to the product when Visual Studio is launched.

Add remote tools to Visual Studio

2008-10-02T03:39:36-03:00

neilco suggested:
The idea here is that we create our own imlementations of the Remote Tools shipped with Visual Studio (Remote RegEdit, Remote File Explorer, Spy++, CEZoom, etc.) and integrate them directly into the IDE.

Add method for the check existing method in native dlls

Add CLR hosting to SDF [updated]

2008-09-23T20:03:24-03:00

ctacke (admin) responded:

We at OpenNETCF agree fully that the CF needs CLR hosting and has needed it for some time. It opens the doors not only for legacy code reuse, but some other wacky shenanigans as well (which we're fond of here). Unfortunately the CF simply doesn't have the necessary hooks currently for us to even hack it together (we've tried). The hope is that since the new Silverlight Mobile stuff is managed code, and plugs into PIE, then we know that they have hosting done internally (there's no other way they could be doing it, short of rewriting PIE as a managed app). We can only plead that they'll make those pieces public in v. Next.

Add EventLog APIs

2008-09-23T13:54:23-03:00

an anonymous user suggested:
CE6 supports the same native event log APIs as NT/2000/XP. It would be nice to have the same managed methods for managing and writing to event sources as the full version of the Framework.

Add the matrix transformation methods from System.Drawing

2008-09-22T12:56:34-03:00

an anonymous user suggested:
I would like to have the Matrix class on NET.CF so I can make more of my user controls work on both desktop and CF

Add IP Address Change detection/notification

2008-09-19T13:26:41-03:00

ctacke suggested:
It would be nice to have the ability to get notified when the device IP address changes.

Add NTLM Group and User Capabilities

2008-09-19T13:25:36-03:00

ctacke suggested:
Windows CE and WinMo have NTLM APIs for Groups and users. Adding managed wrappers for these would be useful.
