Note: This question has already been asked but the answer seems to be outdated.

I am currently looking for information about .NET Compact Framework 3.9. I was not able to find the complete API of the Compact Framework.

I do have access to the .NET API browser but I don’t see any entry for the Compact Framework.

I also found this link except that the documentation doesn’t seem to be exhaustive and the information is not easily accessible.

According to this link, the classes and methods compatible with the Compact Framework are clearly mentioned in the documentation. I don’t see anything like that in the .NET API browser and the interface seems different.

Is there any documentation on the Compact Framework 3.9 API? What am I missing?

    The only supported platform for .NET CF is Windows Embedded Compact 2013 which will end in less than two years, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/?terms=compact No surprise that Microsoft missed the related documentation during doc site migration. Can you check if the VS Help system still contains the relevant section? https://blag.nullteilerfrei.de/2017/12/21/get-the-msdn-library-for-offline-use/ That's probably your last hope.
