In Brief

• All .NET Compact Framework applications should be packaged and distributed in a CAB file.

• You can use Visual Studio .NET to build your CAB file.

• You can also use the CAB Wizard to build your CAB file.

• The CAB Wizard requires a configuration file, which you can edit, to build the CAB file.

• You can distribute your application four different ways:

  From a Web site

  From a file share

  From a memory card

  Through ActiveSync

• Distributing your application through ActiveSync requires an initialization ( .ini ) file and a desktop setup application.
