    Tools in Visual Studio C# windows


    I am creating an application for windows mobile using Visual C# windows. I
    am using visual studio 2008 and I have windows Microsoft Vista on my
    computer. I also downloaded the professional and standards SDK windows
    mobile. However some tools and properties are not available such as
    FontColor, RichTextBox, FlowLayoutPanel . The tools I needed are mostly under
    System.Windows. Forms name space which already included in my application. I
    also tried to add the tools by right click on toolbox under “General” section
    to use the “Choose ToolBox Items” however they all already have been checked
    and are included and they suppose to be in toolbox already but they are
    missing. I don’t know what I am doing wrong and what alse I can do to get
    those tools. I also uninstall the visual studio software and all other
    related software and reinstall them again however I still have same issue.
    Could someone please advise me on that?
    Thanks

      Hi,

      The compact framework is well, compact :)
      It has a lot of features left out

          How I can use the compactframewor k NG? Also I just realized that when I
          create a new project under C# if I select "window" it has all the tools I
          need; if I use "Smart Device" it does not include all the tools I need
          however because I am developing the application for Windows Mobile I believe
          I should use "Smart Device". How I can work with smart device and include
          those tools I needed in there? Is that possible?

              No, it is not possible.

              Windows Forms projects assume a full desktop computer environment.

              Mobile devices assume a very limited mobile device (limited in capabilities
              compared to a full desktop computer).

              The tools available to you in a Mobile or Smart Device application directly
              reflect the underlying platform and it's capabilities. You will not,
              therefore, have all of the tools you need/want because they are simply not
              available for smart devices or mobile environments. It does not matter if
              you create a project reference to Windows Forms. Just because you do that
              does not mean that the Windows Forms components and controls will be
              available for a Smart Device project.

              -HTH

                  As Jordan alluded to, some controls are not available in the compact
                  framework. For example, the docs for the RichTextBox show this:

                  <quote>
                  Platforms
                  Windows Vista, Windows XP SP2, Windows XP Media Center Edition,
                  Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, Windows XP Starter Edition,
                  Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2000 SP4, Windows Millennium
                  Edition, Windows 98
                  </quote>

                  Notice that the compact framework is not listed. You can check the
                  docs for each control/tool and see which platforms are supported.
