Hi

I have a device which has Windows CE version 5. I need to develop a program
for it. This program needs a library class which was developed by a company
called scientific component. The class is called Portcontroller.net. It was
developed for use on the normal dot net framework.

Can this Portcontroller.net class library be used on the compact framework
or would it be incompattible?

One more thing is that the program is most likely going to be client server
with the server part on CE and Compact Framework and the client part on an XP
computer with the full dot net package. Is there going to be any
incompattibility issues between the two operating systems or the different
versions of the framework?
 
The class library is unlikely to be compatible as the .NET Compact Framework
is a subset of the full .NET Framework. That said, the right place to check
would be with the vendor.

If it was compiled under the CF to work with both desktop and device then
yes, otherwise no.
