There are serious technical issues with managed code, mainly involving performance, but also over stability.
Basically the .Net CF is built on top of the ATL, which is already slow. But the .Net CF adds another layer of code, which makes it even slower. Opening a form is particularly slow - it can take ten seconds or more, even on a very fast device. This means that forms have to be kept open, and loaded modally. Events are sent to every form, not just the active one. All this adds to the complexity and therefore the instability of .Net CF applications, and JIT compilation does not help. SQL Server Mobile is slow too, and difficult to sync. There is no mechanism for syncing a database via an ActiveSync connection. -----Original Message----- From: Regis St-Gelais [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 09 February 2009 12:42 To: Palm Developer Forum Subject: Re: forum heart beat check C# seems interesting since we already have exprerience with it on the desktop world.
