Are cross-platform assemblies possible

[Derek M. A. Lee-Wo]

I am creating an app with desktop and PPC versions using C#. I decided to
put a lot of the common functionality into a separate assembly.

The PPC app can't seem to load it.

On further investigation, VS.NET has both a "normal" library and a "Smart
Device" assembly.

Is it that I can't create a single assembly that's usable from both a
desktop app and a PPC app? I guess I'm comparing this to say Java where I
can use a same physical JAR file on different platforms.

It is possible but you need to create a SmartDevice project. The generate
assembly will be usable on the desktop if none of the device-specific
libraries are used (such as SqlCE, InputPanel control and few others).
Library projects are the best from reuse standpoint

Tried it and it works great! Thanks for the prompt response.
