Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to ... here goes ...

Compile some code for a form that is to be displayed on a Pocket PC
device, using a .NET application on a desktop computer.

Arrgghhh. Explaining this is proving more difficult than I expected!
Here's what i am trying to do:

1. Design a form for a pocket PC using an editor i have already built.
2. Upload an 'interpretation' of the form to the PDA
3. Display the form on the PDA

I am currently using an XML description of the form (step 2) which is
interpreted by the application on the PDA and rendered into a form at
runtime.
I am wondering if it is possible to 'pre-compile' the form using the
System.CodeDom.Compiler.ICodeCompiler class (or something similar), so
that the PDA can just load it using the System.Assembly class. I am not
sure about the use of these classes, especially when it comes to
compiling for the comact framework.

I've heard you can use the compiler without the IDE, but is it possible
to compile a standalone form that can just be loaded. Maybe in a dll or
something?!

It sounds reasonable. But then again finding a cheap source of energy
sound reasonable too.

Any help welcomed with open arms!

Alex,
Dude! Cheers for your rapid reply. If i do use the compiler, what are
the redistribution rights on it?! ie, am i ok to ship it with my
product? And as i have VS, i have no idea how big that baby is.

Like i said though, thanks, and i will have a look.

The compiler is a part of .NET Framework anyway, so since your app require
..NET to be present csc.exe will be available on your client's machines.
