 Summary
• Framework Class Library

As you have probably figured out from its name, the class
library is merely a collection of classes and related
structures that can be leveraged as base building blocks
for application development. As such, it is safe to think of
this collection of classes as an API: They are a boundary
interface between our applications and the operating
system. The class library is a massive library, and
Framework Class Library can be extended.

 The version of Adam.NET
• It is not released version (In developing)
• We only support on WinCE.NET up to now
• Now it is a ZIP file, need to un-zip to
specified path
• More and more enriched in the feature.
