The releases of .NET Compact Framework Beta 2, SQL Server CE 2.0 and next version of Visual Studio .NET Beta that we already have reported about will be announced at the VSLive developer conference in Orlando, Florida which begins Monday. This InfoWorld article does a good job explaining what's going on! (Source: Chris Forsberg)
"The .Net Compact Framework, which is a subset of the developer software for PCs and servers, is expected to extend that consistency to mobile application development, according to Rasmussen. ... SQL Server CE 2.0, which now has built-in support for the .Net Compact Framework, will be available for free, Microsoft said. The company hopes that giving the software away will help spur sales of the enterprise version of SQL Server, which can be used in conjunction with the CE version. ... SQL Server CE 2.0 can store data in the relational format, then extract that data and deliver it as an XML document for use with Web-based applications. ... "To the extent that they can make mobile and wireless development a seamless part of Visual Studio, they make it very, very easy for their installed base to migrate to a mobile environment. That's a huge leg up over competitors," Wilson said."
