Thanks Gerard ... although I don't think that I, personally, will be doing anything with the Compact Framework. Other developers in our company might be at some point, but I don't think anyone is yet.

Number 2 on your list (can't edit a Grid) seems to me to be a very big "missing piece". Are you sure that it's not possible with the Grid in CF?

>Just for your reference...if you ever intend using Compact Framework..there are some very basic things you just cannot do out of the Box.....
>1. Cannot Wrap text
>2. Cannot Edit a Grid
>3. Cannot FTP files
>4. No Printer drivers
>5. There are probably lots more which I havent come across yet

>These are what I would call 'Basic' requirements in any application.. I just wonder why they bothered....for each of these (except first which I can live with) I have to go out and purchase / (acquire..some may be free) third party components..... not a good recommendation for one of the largest corporations in the planet....just my little gripe
