The Compact Framework, or short CF, is an implementation of .NET with less classes and methods, to decrease the size and memory overhead of the framework.

It's designed to work on CF capable devices like PDAs, Phones and devices that don't have much memory. There are several versions of CF, 1.0 being the 1.1 version, 2.0+ has generics support.

Visual Studio supports designing applications for the CF, which uses a stripped down Windows Forms implementation. Visual Studio includes a Pocket PC emulator that supports CF applications.
