Tarundeep Singh Kalra Hi, i am facing a peculiar problem with regards to Code Portability both on Pocket PC and Desktops. My company wants me to maintain the common code base for both the platforms. Is .NET suitable for that ( Is WinCE.NET and .NET same). Can we do it in SDK (pocket pc sdk and desktop SDK). I need inputs from all of you. Thanks a lot in advance. -- Regards Tarundeep Singh Kalra www_dot_tarunsadhana_dot_com. tarun_at_removeAT_tarunsadhana_dot_com.remove_dots Reply to this message...        Stic (VIP) Hi, Rather not, because Pocet PC work on .Net Compact Framework with is something like 'limited' framwork, that's why you wasn't be able to do a lot of things. So your answer is - no :( I yopu need more power from .NET Compact Framework try www.opennetcf.org framework, some kind of "extension", to the basic functionality of .NET CF. Anyway you could try to use classes of business logic both the same. I do this when at Pocket PC I magage to separate the GUI from logic, and at PC I did the same - then if you need to change for example customer input form, there will be a change in 3 (not 4) places, at both Pocekt PC & PC GUI and at business logic tier. Anyway this isn't Framwork question anymore - but something like aritect patterns ;-) -- best regards Stic "Tarundeep Singh Kalra" wrote: [Original message clipped] Reply to this message...        Justin Beckwith I have been going through a similar transition, moving from a desktop application to a pocket app. The best advice I've gotten via groups/msdn is to first develop the business logic for your compact framework device, then user that dll in your desktop application. That serves two purposes: 1.) you wont use an libraries that arent available for compact framework (without an addon dll) and 2.) you can import a smart device dll into a desktop app, but not vice versa. I hope this was helpful, good luck! "Stic" <Click here to reveal e-mail address> wrote in message news:<Click here to reveal e-mail address>...

This is almost impossible in the PPC as probably you need to P/Invoke. Othen than that your PPC application will runs just fine in the desktop, of course they will look small and the interface will be clumsy and not very UI. cheers, -- Ignacio Machin, ignacio.machin AT dot.state.fl.us Florida Department Of Transportation "Tarundeep Singh Kalra" <Click here to reveal e-mail addresssary> wrote in message news:Click here to reveal e-mail address...

CF assemblies will retarget to the desktop, so develop and compile using the CF and it should (there are some exceptions) work fine on the desktop. -Chris "Tarundeep Singh Kalra" <Click here to reveal e-mail addresssary> wrote in message news:Click here to reveal e-mail address...

Take a look at the OpenNETCF.IO.Serial code - it works on a CE device and the PC just fine. www.opennetcf.org/sdf -Chris "Stic" <stefantura-at-poczta-dot-onet-dot-pl> wrote in message news:Click here to reveal e-mail address... > And all the methodes names ?
