Going through the documentation of the SDF, i found many classes like the BitmapEx class or the TextBox2 class. I could see their members, but i could not find any text that explained to me why i needed to use them instead of whats given in the .Net CF 3.5
So, what i am requesting is something [a document] or someone to explain how or why the SDF classes are better than their CF equivalents. Now, the bitmap and textbox where just examples. It would be preferable if i could know more about the framework itself and how to use it.
Just for background:
I am developing an OCR solution for mobile phones. It does the entire processing and detecting using the cell phone capabilities. The app is able to segment [into characters] a 800x600 area of image with some 7 lines of text in around 80 seconds on a HTC Diamond. I believe i should be able to improve the performance. Right now i have done absolutely no performance optimizations. Am reading lots of articles on optimizations etc... will post some separate questions on those topics as and when i come across something i cant solve...
