Chapter 3. The .NET Type System
This chapter provides a tour through the .NET types needed for .NET Compact Framework programming.
.NET programming provides a high level of interoperability between programming languages. By “interoperability” we mean that, more so than any other programming environment, the .NET model reduces differences between different programming languages. This gives developers greater freedom in selecting a programming language (assuming, of course, that a .NET-compatible compiler for a desired language is available).
