Are cross-platform assemblies possible

I am creating an app with desktop and PPC versions using C#. I decided to
put a lot of the common functionality into a separate assembly.

The PPC app can't seem to load it.

On further investigation, VS.NET has both a "normal" library and a "Smart
Device" assembly.

Is it that I can't create a single assembly that's usable from both a
desktop app and a PPC app? I guess I'm comparing this to say Java where I
can use a same physical JAR file on different platforms.

It is possible but you need to create a SmartDevice project. The generate
assembly will be usable on the desktop if none of the device-specific
libraries are used (such as SqlCE, InputPanel control and few others).
Library projects are the best from reuse standpoint
