DesktopSqlCe version 1.8.1500 released

• New Pipe events: PipeTimeout and PipeAbort. The PipeTimeout event is raised before a timeout exception is thrown. It allows the application to gracefully handle the timeout event by chosing whether the exception should be thrown or if the client code should wait another timeout period for the server to reply. The timeout period may be changed during the event processing. The PipeAbort event is raised when the physical connection between the desktop and the device is prematurely broken. By handling this event, applications can now perform all the cleanup chores associated with this event and ensuring both desktop and device stability.
• Column values can now be explicitly set to null using SqlCeResultSet.
• Extended device support: Windows CE 4.2 (ARMV4, MIPSII, MIPSIV, SH3, SH4, x86); Windows CE 5.0 (ARMV4I, MIPSII, MIPSIV, SH4, x86); Pocket PC 2003 and Windows Mobile 5.0 (both Pocket PC and Smartphone). The device component is distributed in DLL and installable CAB format.
• The Primeworks.MobileServer assembly (with full source code) is included for .NET CF applications. With this code, any .NET CF application can start any number of device server instances using either TCP/IP and serial communications as the transport.
• New installer.

Note: Version 1.8 drops support for .NET 1.1 and Visual Basic 6.
