Error after upgrading .Net CF1.1 to .Net CF2.0

[Guest]

Hello...

I upgraded our .Net CF1.1 app to .Net CF2 and there are now 100's of errors
that refer to, "Access of shared member, constant member, enum member or
nested type through an instance; qualifying expression will not be evaluated."

Most of these are simple statements like:
objUser.Name = "My Name"

Were there changes to the .Net CF for 2.0 that would be causing these types
of errors to now appear?

thanks

First, there is no netcf 1.1 only v1.0 and v2.0 Beta

So from the error you get I can tell you are using VB.

There has been a change in VB2005 (for the better) that does not allow
access to static/shared members from instance variables.

Go through your code for each error and change the instance variable (e.g.
objUser) to the type (e.g. <the class name of objUser>).

You can even turn this warning off but I strongly suggest you don't and fix
the code itself. For more on some VB compiler options (including this one)
see this:
