Visual Studio 2005 Patch

New Features:
Service Pack 2 of the .Net Compact Framework V2.0 includes new features in the Remote Performance Monitor aimed at finding memory leaks in the managed heap. These features allow you to take snapshots of the GC heap at any point in time and view the relationships between the live object instances in the heap. You can also compare multiple snapshots over time in order to spot allocation trends in your application as it executes.
