CF application that run on standard Windows ?

[Guest]

I've created my CF application and now I would like to give out a demo
version that can be executed on normal PC with Windows XP, 2000, ...

Is it possible ?

Because CF is a subset of .NET framework, if an application runs on CF
should run on .NET framework, or not ?

If no other solutions, how is possible to "translate" a CF application in a
..NET application ? Can be done without big efforts ?

Thank you in advance.

Your app may be able to run unmodified on the desktop:

You can share the same code between the two platforms:

However, for demo purposes nothing will come close to running on the device.

Hi Kevin,

Many of our tests target the desktop runtime as well as our CLR in order to
verify that we're seeing the same results, so you should have few problems
running a CF app on the desktop.
