Use a dataset, the .net cf support's it, so you could write a xml web service that returns a dataset and use it without problems from the pocket pc

Edit: just re-read your post, i dont know how you could do that, i dont know if the .net cf support's serialization (which is how i would do it)

You could write a go between, a web service that processes the xml file and returns a dataset, that would probably be the easiest method.

Edit 2: I just remembered, you could grab the xml file, and process it with the classes in the System.Xml namespace. i compleatly forgot about them, but i remembered when i realised that it (.net cf) support's xml web services, it needs those classes.

Sorry for taking a while to respond

Anyway, im a complete n00b when it comes to that namespace aswell, so far i have only played around with the XmlSerializer, but look on google for some info, i think XPath might be worthwhile looking for.

    • Burrrrn. Bought COD WWII last month when it was on sale for PC. Oh well. Excellent game tho, and the PC version plays/looks amazing (and has it's own PC achievements). ...wondering if this is a lesson on waiting on sales. ...also hoping Rise of the Tomb Raider has it's own PC Achievements

Use one box for everything--type in the address bar and get suggestions for both search and Web pages. Thumbnails of your top sites let you access your favorite pages instantly with lightning speed from any new tab. Desktop shortcuts allow you to launch your favorite Web apps straight from your desktop. Chrome has many useful features built in, including automatic full-page translation and access to thousands of apps, extensions, and themes from the Chrome Web Store. Google Chrome is one of the best solutions for Internet browsing giving you high level of security, speed and great features. Important to know!

    • -Drop the art style, it's cool but doesn't fit the franchise at all. -Make it a gritty single player game, like Halo -Include deathmatch and all that stuff, extraction can be a separate mode If they don't do that, it's dead on arrival IMO.
    • It's a shame because it's one of the best immersive sims ever made, even though it could have used a bit more monster variety IMO.
