So you have Visual Studio 2013 eview and don't want to go back? This article shows what you need to change in .NET Micro Framework to get it running in the new Visual Studio version, and it might be also useful if you struggle getting your own version of SDK compiled.

In order to keep the footprint small, not every possible C# feature is supported by .NET Micro Framework. However, some require only small trick to make them working (no, generics are not the case). I thought it might come handy to write it all down at one place.

Maybe you have heared that foreach is slower than for - it does not matter on a 4 GHz quad, but we should take care when working on small devices. Should you? What's the difference, really? Check some simple performance tests to find it out.

Collecting touch and stylus events works in the application's main window only. Fortunately, the WPF input system is extensible enough - see how you can use it to workaround the bug. As a side effect, we will learn how to find the top most window.

I have no idea why the emulator framework was not build on Windows Presentation Foundation, when the .NET Micro Framework itself is. Anyway, it's time for change. See this trick how to create emulator projects not based on this... yeah, Windows Forms. An example of simple WPF emulator can be found in the examples.

I have noticed that some questions in the discussion group can be answered just by looking into the Lutz Roeder's Reflector, which is also usually mentioned with the answer. Whilst this application is a daily tool for most .NET developers, newbies often don't even know it exists. So here is a very basic intro to the Reflector for those who hasn't heared this word yet.

There comes very small, yet fundamental interface with the ButtonTextBox control for translating the button presses into text input. This short note should sketch its concept and give some litle help with using the SequentialButtonTranslator sample implementation.

Button is not a key. However, if you are convinced you really need more than thirteen butttons, we could perhaps do something with it. Some guide to using more buttons and still have the comfort of WPF events.
