Hi,

I'm a bit confused here and hope mabe some can help me shed some light on
the following:

I have an C# .net 2.0 app compiled with Target=PPC2003. I notice that this
also seems to run fine on a WM5 device. Is this what to expect? If it is,
why do I have an option to set Target=PPC2003 or Target=WM5 ?

If my app is supposed to run on both PPC2003 and WM5 should I compile my
project for both platforms? I actually did, and ran a FileCompare of the two
executables, and notice that the files are different, but still the PPC2003
version seems to run fine on WM5? So, like I said I'm a bit confused:)

Any hints or help greatly appriciated.

regards,
Leo
 
Leo,

Generally you can target an earlier device and it will run on a newer one,
but the reverse may not be true and especially if you (perhaps
inadvertently) use features that are only available on the newer one.
