How to analyze the mobile development part of Visual Studio 2008, I believe that many inexperienced people are at a loss about it. Therefore, this paper summarizes the causes and solutions of the problem. Through this article, I hope you can solve this problem.

Take advantage of the free time during the Golden week to learn new technologies so that your mind can keep up with the pace of software updates. This is probably the reality that programmers face. During this Golden week, I'm going to take a look at the mobile development section of Visual Studio 2008. Visual Studio 2008 is still in the Beta 2 stage. Beta 2 of VS 2005 is pretty much the same as the RTM version we will see in the future, and hopefully the same is true of Beta 2 of VS 2008.

There are many new mobile development tools integrated in the development of VS 2008, the most noteworthy of which are .NET Compact Framework 3.5 and SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5. It needs to be explained that. NET CF does not have version 3.0, because the .NET Framework version 3.0 refers to WPF, WCF, and WF, so in order to be consistent with the desktop version. NET Framework, the new version of .NET CF has a version number of 3.5. Similarly, SQL CE returned to the name of CE after changing N names, and SQL CE 3.5 is also a major upgrade after SQL Mobile 2005.

The two most important components in .NET CF 3.5 are WCF and Linq. The WCF component of .NET CF can access WCF's Web Service and support WCF transport based on Exchange Server mail, and Push Mail makes WCF more powerful. LINQ is a general query tool that supports queries of XML, database and objects. It also implements the function of LINQ in .NET CF.

In addition,. NET CF 3.5 also supports managed audio playback classes, and provides SoundPlayer classes to play multimedia sounds. Compression function, which provides the System.IO.Compression namespace for data compression. VS 2008 developers provide functions such as unit testing, which we will not explain in detail here.

Let's take a look at the differences between VS 2008 development and VS 2005 by building a simple mobile application in VS 2008 development: after opening VS 2008 development, we still choose the File-New-Project menu. By selecting the Visual C# type, we can see that WCF and Workflow are used to support applications of WCF and WF types, respectively.

We chose the Smart Device type, in which we can only choose Smart Device Project. In the dialog box that pops up, we can see different types of mobile applications: device applications (Device Application), class libraries (Class Library, DLL), command line applications (Console Application), control class libraries (Control Library), and empty engineering (Empty Project). After selecting the program type, we also need to select the target platform (default is Windows Mobile 5.0) and the .NET CF version. In the drop-down menu (such as the red area below), we can select .NET CF 3.5 and .NET CF 2.0. Net CF 2008 is not supported in the development of CF 2008, a controversial decision that has previously been voted on on the BLOG of Microsoft's product group. Considering that .NET CF 2.0 is already built into the ROM of Windows Mobile 6.0, this seems to be the right decision. It is not known whether this decision will cause developers to install both VS 2005 and VS 2008 developers and maintain the same code in different development environments.

After reading the above, have you mastered how to analyze the mobile development part of Visual Studio 2008? If you want to learn more skills or want to know more about it, you are welcome to follow the industry information channel, thank you for reading!
