New article on debugging using the .NET Compact Framework

[Peter Foot]

New article on debugging with .NET Compact Framework by Jim Wilson. Spotted by Alex Feinman on the microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.compactframework newsgroup:-

Not much new in the article, just confirmation of some "missing" features and almost common sense rules of thumb. It is a quick read, though, so by all means check it out.

While I'm happy to see anything of use in MSDN Technicale Articles, I'd really like to see items of a more advanced nature or articles about how to work around the missing features rather than just an aknowledement that they exist.

Also, an article or series of articles on "best practices" in relation to developing with the CF would be helpful for newbies as well as us "old guys" as much of the newsgroups seem to revolve around trying to squeeze as much speed and functionality out of the CF as possible.

After posting my comments above I dug around on MSDN and found that there are several new articles on the CF that have been posted in the past week (or two) that I hadn't seen. So I guess MSDN is doing what I asked before I even asked it. Be sure to check them out by following Peter's link above and then opening the TOC to peruse the titles.
