System.CF namespce missing

I'm using .Net Compact Framework 2.0SP1 and VS 2005.
VS2005 doesn't recognise any System.CF* namespaces.

Any ideas

The .NET CF 1.0 designer support for Visual Studio.NET 2003 has a file named 'System.CF.Windows.Forms.dll'

This third-party control seams to be made for .NET CF 1.0 /Visual Studio 2003 environment. I'd suggest you conact the vendor and get an updated version for Visual Studio 2005.

This message is saying there's no such assembly, it's not saying anything about namespaces. Assembly A.B.dll may or may not have A.B.* namespace in it. That is, there's no direct connection between assembly name and namespaces in it.

In this case it does not matter though because there's no such assembly in NETCF either. You can check out NETCF's assemblies here:

%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SmartDevices\SDK\CompactFramework\2.0\v2.0\WindowsCE\

It might be 3rd party DLL which is missing. Why don't you call that 3rd party and ask them

If there's no updated version, it should be possible to use it in V2 from code without designers. Just make sure to reference _runtime_ version of the control, not design time version.

When I try to add a third-party control to my toolbox I get a message like:

"There was an error loading types from assembly...
Could not load file or assembly 'System.CF.Windows.Forms, Version..."

do I just have a dodgy dll

That's because there are no System.CF* namespaces.
