Announcing .NET Compact Framework 2.0 SP1 Beta1
The .NET Compact Framework team has been working on a service pack for .NET Compact Framework 2.0. The fixes and features included in this beta have been driven through customer feedback we receive through the Product Feedback Center, Newsgroups and Forum posts. To get started using .NET Compact Framework 2.0 SP1 beta download it from https://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=6548dd53-a418-42d9-a481-19ba3ceca1a6&displaylang=en
