System.NotSupportedException error in compact framework pictureBox control. How do I make a picture button in Compact framework?

Question

I'm trying to make a picture button in the compact framework. I made a usercontrol and added a picturebox. I saw you could over ride the text and font for normal windows forms. but don't seem able to do it for compact. It crashes VS2008. Has anyone done this?

Answer 1

Consider using the Smart Device Framework from OpenNETCF. Whenever I've tried to do custom UI and the compact framework has let me down, SDF has usually already "fixed" it.

Answer 2

Thanks, we are already using that to optain the MAC address. I'm really surprised how much was left out of the compact framework.
