Building SS server, client and ORMLite for .Net Compact Framework 3.5

[luis]

Hi,

I need to build ServiceStack's server, client and orm for .net cf 3.5, to be used on windows ce 6.5.

I would like to have the leanest build possible.

Can someone tell me or point me to some documentation on what projects do I require ?

Thank you,

Luis

Personally I wouldn't bother trying to get the ServiceStack Server running on .NET CF, the lowest runtime supported is .NET 3.5.

The client libraries and the serializers used are in the following projects:

  - ServiceStack.Text

  - ServiceStack.Interfaces

  - ServiceStack.Common

The JSON, JSV, CSV Serializers are in ServiceStack.Text and have no dependencies, and there are currently builds of:

https://github.com/ServiceStack/ServiceStack.Text/tree/master/src 

  - .NET 3.5+

  - Android

  - MonoTouch

  - Silverlight 4/5

  - Windows Phone

  - Xbox

From this list ServiceStack.Common (which contain the client libraries) only has explicit support for 

  - .NET 3.5+

  - Android

  - MonoTouch

  - Silverlight 4/5

Cheers,

Thanks, Demis

Can you elaborate a little why is not worth trying to get the server up ? are there required API's not present ?

I ask because a need a REST server on my device, and I would prefer to try to get ServiceStack up and running there instead of starting from scratch.

I have searched all over and there is nothing suitable, so it is either port something or create something.

What do you say about OrmLite ? can it be ported over to .net CF ?

Because no effort has been made to get the server to run on anything else but the full .NET 3.5 framework and Mono.

e.g. We use Expression's for some optimizations which I don't believe are supported in CF.

OrmLite uses some of the same optimizations as well, so I imagine both will require some effort to support.
