IrDA in 2.0 .NET Framework?

IrDA in 2.0 .NET Framework?

• Bill Rose

  Hi,
  
  If you install the .NET CF v2.0, then the Compact Framework SDK assemblies reside at \Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\CompactFramework\WindowsCE. This folder also contains System.Net.IrDA.dll assembly. Based on this I think IRDA is supported in v2.0
  
  Also take a look at the documentation to for Whidbey which describes the following classes with examples:
  1. IrDAListener
  2. IrDAClient
  3. IrDADeviceInfo
  4. IrDAHints
  
  IrDAListener with a Sample:

  Vikram,
  
  Do you know for sure that IRDA will be included in 2.0 Or are you just guessing / hoping it will be. Has there been an official statement from Microsoft about IrDA
  
  Thanks

  Vikram,
  
  Yes all of this strongly suggests that System.Net.IrDA.dll will be included in 2.0.
  
  Thanks for your help!!
