CF is severly limited, I think you may have more luck in the Mobile Development section or other sites like devx.

In order to live up to its name, the Compact Framework has had to go without anything unnecessary from the full .NET Framework. If you want to let the user select a font or a colour, you can simply use a ComboBox or ListBox. Not as glamorous but will still get the job done and helps keep the CF to a managable size. Also, you could build a dialogue yourself that completely reproduced those that are missing if you wanted. That's going to increase your application size though.

Sockets are supported by the CF. I suggest you take a look at the help topic for the System.Net.Sockets namespace. You can follow the links to each individual class and it will tell you whether it is supported by the CF. For those that are, you can take a look at the member listing and it will tell you which members are supported.
