Adding the open source .NET classes to the Compact Framework

Question

Has anyone tried adding some of the open source .NET classes that Microsoft put on Github to the Compact Framework?

So for example adding missing member functions of String? As long as the dependencies are satisfied I don't see why it wouldn't work but it just feels wrong... 

Thanks

Hi EMG_Brady,

.NET Compact Framework has its own forum, We will move your thread there for dedicated support.

Thank you for your understanding.

Hi EMG_Brady,

>>So for example adding missing member functions of String?

When we look into the source code of String class, http://referencesource.microsoft.com/, there is some action to manipulate the memory while in general .net environment, but not sure if we can do the same for Compact framework, basically it is kind of library that designed to run on resource constrained mobile/embedded device.

I would suggest you read into the .net framework source code to see if you can do the same on the compact framework.
