It's official! Smart Device Framework 2.1 is out in the wild. This is more of a maintenance release, but it still has some nice new additions (amongst others: LargeIntervalTimer, ACMStream, RiffStream). The ConnectionManager has had an overhaul and we've split out the OpenNETCF.WindowsCE.Messaging namespace into a separate assembly to help componentize the framework.
Specific to the Extensions, we've made it a little easier for you to add new items to your projects by adding some new options to the code window context dialog. Now just a right-click away, you can add new classes, forms, components as well as add assembly references and web references. Personally, I've been using this for a week or so now, I find it invaluable. No more dragging the cursor all the way over the side of the screen (my display is running at 1920x1200), I just right-click and away I go. Here's a screenshot of the new context menu options:
We'll be contacting existing customers who purchased SDF 2.0 in the next few days with details of the upgrade path.
