B2 -> RC

Mon, September 19, 2005, 12:57 PM under MobileAndEmbedded
This blog entry is for you if:
You have been using Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 (and all the previous CTPs) but have "ignored" all releases in the last 5 months. Now you download VS2005 Release Candidate and want to know what is new in NETCF 2.0

+ New classes:
SuppressMessageAttribute (as requested)
GeneratedCodeAttribute
SelectionRange

- Removed Classes:
ThreadTerminateException

+ New members:
HardwareKeys.None
Control.InvokeRequired (and for all other Controls)
DataGrid.BackColor
TreeNode.Handle
MonthCalendar.GetDisplayRange
Dns.GetHostEntry (as requested)
ThreadPool.GetMaxThreads & .SetMaxThreads (as requested)
MessageWindow.Text (as requested)
Marshal.AllocHGlobal & .FreeHGlobal & .ReAllocHGlobal

+ New Overloads with timeouts:
AutoResetEvent/ManualResetEvent/Mutex/WaitHandle .WaitOne(int millisecondsTimeout, bool exitContext)
Thread.Join(int millisecondsTimeout)

- Removed the setter from the following properties (so now they are read only):
BalloonChangedEventArgs.Visible
DocumentListEventArgs.Path
ResponseSubmittedEventArgs.Response
HelpEventArgs.MousePos

* You may also notice harmless renamings (e.g. MsgBoxResult.OK rather than Ok), massaging of the Generics stuff, changes in the BindingList/BuidingSource area and some System.XML alterations.

On the VSD side, we find full support for Visual Form Inheritance.
