Hello,

I'm working on an application which depends on XPath queries. I would
like to port it to the .NET Compact framework though. Is it possible to
replace the usual .NET Compact DLL by a full .NET framework DLL
(System.Xml in this case)?

I would also like to know the procedure for doing this. I noticed that
Visual Studio .NET does not allow me to deploy and "overwrite" the
Compact System.Xml dll when I add a reference to the full System.Xml dll
after deleting the reference to the Compact .NET version.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,
 
No. Full framework assemblies are not retargetable to CE devices for
several reasons. One major one is that they likely use APIs that don't even
exist on the device.
 
Nope. Not possible. You'll need to write the code so it uses the XML support
in the .NET CF.
