Building assemblies for Compact Framework

[Jose Antonio]

Hi,

is it possible to create dinamically an .NET Compact
Framework assembly with System.Reflection.Emit (using the
full .NET Framework)?


Thanks in advance.

José Antonio.

José,

I assume you want to generate .Net CF code on the fly from a desktop app? I
don't think this will work.

Hi Ginny,

Yes, I would like to create an app running on a PC which
reads an XML file and then builds an assembly with some
constants whose values are on the XML file. The assembly
would then be added to a smart device project.

I don´t know much about assemblies, but I understood in
some articles that it could be possible to build cross-
framework assemblies by setting the Retargetable attribute.

Thanks for your answer.

Jose,

Yes resetting the Retargetable attribute would probably be the key (as well
as being careful to use platform-neutral parts of .Net). I haven't done it
myself, but if you get it working, be sure to let us all know any tips you
discover.
