    ObjectDisposedException could occur when exiting an application with
    asynchronous requests.

    function with an infinite loop when it is called from the Immediate
    Window.
  • Breakpoints do not work if the cached, managed
    dlls in the bcl directory differ from the ones on the device.

    InvalidOperationException.

    Controls or .Controls.Count property of a control once it has begun the
    disposing process.
  • The WebBrowser.DocumentCompleted event is fired in
    a loop when the DocumentText property contains an image inside of a
    table.

    workaround to avoid hardware issues on some storage cards.
    For the HttpWebRequest method, an
    ArgumentOutOfRangeException occurs when accessing some https:// URLs.

    days).
  • Error occurs when loading the .NET Compact
    Framework version 2.0 on a device using an ActiveSync push.

    NotSupportedException.
  • The Debug.WriteLine method in the .NET Compact
    framework version 2.0 is not working.

    not reported by the SerialPort.GetPortNames method.

    passed incorrectly on ARMV4I.
  • The .NET Compact Framework incorrectly performs
    version comparison when loading assemblies.

    ArgumentOutOfRangeException.

    When or who is responsible for Mobile Internet Explorer updates? I've got this bug which has been reported to MS but still no update?

    Anyone know about this process of when, who and how the IE bugs get addressed and released?

    Thanks

    Hi,I have downloaded the french version of the installer. It won't let me install the framework on my PDA without also installing the SDK on my desktop. This cannot be disabled. I don't need the SDK on this system so why force me to swallow 91 MB of useless files :-)) ?I have reported this to the Feedback Center.Cheers.-- Patrick Philippot - Microsoft MVPMainSoft Consulting Serviceswww.mainsoft.fr
