ONE DLL for both CompactFramework & FullFramework

[Sal]

Is it possible to create one DLL that will work for both a Pocket PC
App and a regular Windows App? How would I go about doing this?

I wish to create the DLL in either Visual C++ 6.0 or Embedded Visual
C++ 4.0 and use the same DLL in two Visual Studio 2003 Apps (one for
Windows and one for Pocket PC).

Thanks,

Sal

Yes, it is possible. This DLL needs to be managed and created in either C#
or VB.Net with VS 2003 or VS 2005.

If you'd like to use native DLL (which are created with VS 6/eVC 4), you
would need two different DLLs, one for device, one for desktop.

You might be able to share sources for both to some degree.

Thanks,

I actually found an article that explains source code sharing.

As long as I can edit one set of source file(s) for both then I'm
happy, which it looks like source code sharing will allow for... at
least I have a solution for now. I'm using native Windows API
functions so I'd prefer make the DLL in VS6/eVC for now, so I don't
have to bother with messy P/Invokes.

Thanks,
