An unhandled exception of type 'System.TypeLoadException' occurred in System.Windows.Forms.dl

The above exception is thrown when i run my compact framework application. I can compile the project but when i call a class the above exception is thrown. The class i called consist of full framework dll eg. System.Data.OleDb, which compact framework don't support in my compact framework project, is it due to this problem that the above exception is thrown? Thanks for your help.
 
You cannot use full framework assemblies in the CF.

I can compile the project but when i call a class the above exception is

System.Data.OleDb, which compact framework don't support in my compact
framework project, is it due to this problem that the above exception is
thrown? Thanks for your help.
 
So u mean if my class use the System.Data.OleDb dll then I wont be able to call the class in my compact framework project? Then is there a way to solve the problem? Thanks for your help.
 
The TypeLoadException is thrown when you step into a function that uses an
assembly that is not available.
The easiest way to deal with it is to write a set of wrappers like this:

void SomeFunctionThatUsesOleDbProvider()
{
....
}

void SomeFunctionThatUsesOleDbProviderWrapper()
{
if ( /* Platform is Windows CE */ )
{
SomeFunctionThatUsesOleDbProvider();
}
else
{
// Use some other provider available on CF platform - e.g. SqlCe
}
}
