Upgrading to .Net Framework 2.0
Basic4ppc uses Microsoft .Net Framework as its core.
The desktop works with .Net Framework 1.1 and the device works with the .Net Compact Framework (.Net CF) 1.0 SP3.
Devices with WM2003 SE or WM5 include the .Net CF 1.0 SP3 installed in ROM.
WM6 devices include .Net CF 2.0 installed in ROM.
The .Net 2.0 introduces new features and better performance.
Some new libraries like the Email library and the SQL library will only work with .Net 2.0.
Installing .Net 2.0 on the device (installed in RAM):
Download the ConfigFiles.
Inside the zip file under the Device folder you will find a file named Basic4ppc.exe.config.
Copy the file to the device, to: \Program Files\Basic4ppc.
Download and install .Net CF 2.0
Installing .Net 2.0 on the desktop:
Download the ConfigFiles.
Inside the zip file under the Desktop folder you will find a file named Dbasic.exe.config.
Copy the file to Basic4ppc folder: C:\Program Files\Anywhere Software\Basic4ppc Desktop
Download and install .Net Framework 2.0
Now when you run Basic4ppc it will use the .Net Framework 2.0.
Some notes:
- When distributing a compiled application that uses the .Net 2.0 you should rename a copy of the ConfigFile to YourApplication.exe.config and copy it to the same folder of the compiled application.
For example HelloWorld.exe.config.
- If you try to add a library that requires .Net 2.0 and an error message saying "Invalid Type" appears then the .Net 2.0 is not installed properly.
- Pocket PC 2000 / Pocket PC 2002 do not support .Net CF 2.0
