I see in this book, it mention "FEZ Board", what is it? I don't see the product in your web?

Hi cornetlin,

you can read it in the ebook :-)

FEZ Board
FEZ and FEZmini are very small boards targeted for beginners. They are based on USBizi
chipset and so they have all USBizi features. Those little boards offer a lot of peripherals
not available with any hobby-targeted board. Even tough it is targeted for beginner, it is a
low-cost starting point for any professional wanting to test out NETMF.
FEZ stands for “Freakin' Easy!”
Features available in FEZ but not available in Arduino, BASIC STAMP and others:
1. Base on Microsoft .NET Micro Framework.
2. Support runtime debugging (breakpoint, variable inspection, stepping...etc.)
3. Uses free VS2008 C# express edition for development.
4. High-end features like FAT, USB device and USB host
5. Hardware independent. Easily upgrade to more fancy hardware like ChipworkX.
6. Open source hardware design files.
7. Already available shields and holder boards.
8. Base on USBizi chip. Use the chipset to create new designs.
This book examples are made for FEZ/FEZmini. The code is still for .NET Micro
Framework so modifying it to run on any NETMF system should be an easy task.

But in a previous version of the ebook , the authors said is it not available until now.

Maybe in the future??

Did you read rule #2 about the book?
"2. The book points out a new device called FEZ. This is not available and we do not have any public info, so please do not ask"

Yes the book explains what it is so just look and you will know what it is about but still do not ask questions about it

Hi Dear Issa:
Your book is very useful for me.
I am studing  it now.
I have a question?
1. If I get a project(source code) from some, how can I add it to my project?
    Do I need to compile it and then add to reference?  Then use "using ..."
   
 Thank you.

In the project solution, you just "Add Existing Files" and add the new files you have. Then compile.

[cornetlin]

Thank you

1.So, If I want use your "ExampleProject", do I need to add the ExampleProject projet files to my project?
2.Could I compile the project to  Assemblies files? Then other project can add to reference then using it?

Thank you very much

Lin

This should be in a separate thread not here, please post in separate thread if you need help.
It really depends on what you are doing. Merging ExampleProject with another projects might be hard. ExampleProject is a complete project by itself, how is it supposed to work with something else...
The best way is to add one thing at a time, only you can investigate this.
