Embedded Programming with the Microsoft . NET Micro Framework

Get the information you need for programming applications in the rich, managed-code environment of the Microsoft .NET Micro Framework. You’ll learn how to extend your experience with the .NET Framework and Microsoft Visual C# through real-world examples, expert insights, and code samples—and efficiently build robust applications for the smallest devices.

Discover how to:

• Use an object-oriented approach for programming embedded devices
• Create input and output port objects
• Develop detailed text and graphical displays that support complex user interactions
• Add Windows SideShow functionality into your application
• Implement functionality from existing applications to embedded applications
• Bind physical hardware events to Windows Presentation Foundation elements
• Establish embedded-network connections using TCP/IP
• Use emulation techniques for rapid-prototyping, experimentation, testing, and debugging
• Optimize performance of resource-constrained devices

PLUS—Get code samples in Visual C# on the Web
