Welcome to the web dedicated to the .NET Micro Framework. After lot of promising I have finally managed to turn the new look into something at least functional, and testing a new server. I hope these are good changes for you and any notes, ideas and problem reports are welcomed. Later I would also like to allow everybody to contribute on the content, eventually rate it, so stay tuned. I believe you will find here what you need and I wish you a lot of success with the .NET Micro Framework!

Current version

The .NET Micro Framework version 3.0 was released and announced at the Embedded Systems Conference In Boston on Tuesday, October 28, 2008. What's new:

You can download the SDK at Microsoft Downloads, and don't forget to read the release notes.

For list of all changes see the change log.

Microsoft also started the Dare to dream different challenge, be sure to check it out!

Need help?

Try to find some hints on this web or community blogs, also don't forget to check the help or SDK documentation. There is also an online version of the help on MSDN, which is likely more udpated than the one you have installed, although be prepared that there are couple of things documented from the future version of framework. You might also want to check the EDK Step-By-Step Guide by Sean Liming, which is definitely a very good and exhaustive source of information not only for the beginners. If you are not successful in finding a solution, you can always post your question to the microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.microframework discussion group (web access).

Want help?

Great! Definitely let me know.
