.NET CF 3.5 on Diamond: how to do

[wonderiuy]

I't since 3 das I'm testing .NET CF 3.5 on original ROM.
I installed it in this way:
download this and install the .cab into device (not internal storage):
http://rapidshare.com/files/74341832/NETCF_3.5_ppc_ce5.rar (thank you FAMAN)

the go to the registry in
HKLM - Software - Microsoft - .NETCompactFramework
and change as follows:
2.0.7045.00 -> set 0 (was 1)
3.5.7283.00 -> set 1 (was 0)

Soft reset

And now u have .NET CF 3.5 on your original ROM

i am very curious on how much Speed difference would this make?
1) Will this overall increase the application startup speed?
2) Will this exhaust more memory than net 2.0?

Greatly appreciate it if you can shed some light on this.
thanks.

1) the feel is that of an increase of performace launching and executing programs.
2) the memory after a fresh start is 53.86 Mb (ROM: 1.37.408.3 ITA)

Does this mean it flashes it into ROM?

Did you notice any problems as a result of this upgrade?

Thank you for sharing :)

What? This means that you normally can not install CF 3.5 to diamond? Why? How is this possible? Isnt it a bug?

[hallatore]

This just means that you tell WM 6.1 to use .NET 3.5 by default instead of 2.0
Both are still there.

I used 'netcfcfg.cab' (attached) and did not bother going into registry.
Besides setting default .net version to use it can also define this per application.

some mentioned both version are still there after installing 3.5? Can I just delete 2.0? and how do I do it? thanks.

It takes alot of memory , even I installed it on "Internal Storage" , still it takes
abiut 2 Mega from internal memory.
I can't realize why the programers using .Net at all, and if they are using it, so they should use .Net comes with WM6.1 and not lame new .Net...

You can't delete 2.0 Since it's part of the WM...

I found out if you use netcfcfg.cab on your device you can choose what .net you want for each program.
