As Neil rightfully noticed the System.Drawing assembly had been re-written from the ground up for .NetCF to squize up the best performance and compactness. But this "re-write" came with the price of a lot of functionality missing in CF (Pen size and type, access to the bitmap bits and ability to get a native handles etc...).  Therefore creation a better version of the Graphics and Bitmap classes has been on a radar at OpenNETCF.org for a long time. So a few days ago I decided to give it shot, starting from the "proof-of-the-concept" prototype and moving along with functionality that worked. Although it did involved implementing of my own Pen, Font, Graphics classes. I concentrated on the stuff that you can not currently do in .NetCF: drawing dashed lines and rectangles, rounded rectangle, drawing text in ClearType and different angles. Please, let us know if you are interested in the stuff like that and also we are looking for your feedback on the libraries and code already available from OpenNETCF. We would like hear from you on how and where the code being used. What do you like or dislike about OpenNETCF.org etc...
