.net CF 2.0 networking

I have a quick question. Will CF 2.0 have any improved networking capabilities over CF 1.0 or we will still have to call native APIs I mean, will we have something like the classes in Opennetcf.Net namespace or better Something nice to build network aware apps that are able to decide to fall back to GPRS if there is no WiFi or if the user leaves WiFi area

    Hi Joaquin,

    The following are some of the additions of NETCF V2.0 in the networking area:
    - NTLM/Kerberos HTTP authentication
    - IPv6 support
    - CredentialCache

    For PocketPC, Connection Manager provides network awareness to applications to some extent, that NETCF utilizes. For example, if you use HttpWebRequest to access a web site, if no WiFi or Ethernet is available, the request will fall back to GPRS.

    Cheers,
    Anthony

    The feature set for netcf 2.0 is complete. If it isn't in the Beta 2 then it will not be in the final (minor exceptions for method overloads etc apply).

    We will have an opennetcf version for v2.0 when vs2005 is released so you'll still be able to use the Net namespace.

    Cheers
    Daniel
