Called the .NET Compact Framework, the beta version will be released at Microsoft's Mobility Developer Conference in London and includes software needed to run .NET services and applications on portable devices such as handheld computers and smart phones. Microsoft will offer details about how the software should be used and hand out free copies to attendees at the show, said John Montgomery, a group product manager with Microsoft's .NET developer platform group. The .NET Compact Framework includes the runtime environment and class libraries needed to run .NET applications and services. A version for desktops and servers, called simply the .NET Framework, has already been released. The compact version is essentially a subset of that for use in handheld computers running Microsoft's Pocket PC software, its operating software for smart phones, and other Windows CE-based devices such as in-car computers, Montgomery said.
