This week, Microsoft will release its first upgrade to its .NET Compact Framework, bringing mobile developers more performance, more UI support and a raft of new access technologies to make it easier for devs to integrate mobile devices with a wide array of XML, SQL and COM resources on legacy apps and databases. The rollout will come during Microsoft's first Mobile Developers Conference being held in San Francisco. Microsoft execs hope that this "preview" version of the .NET Compact Framework v2 (.NET CFv2) will get Visual Basic developers re-energized about web services, and particularly developing mobile apps for the enterprise.
