CF .NET Assembly questions

[Marc Hoeppner]

Hi,

can I use CF .NET assemblies in a .NET Win Form app on a regular PC (since
CF is a subset of the full .NET framework)? - If yes, can I use the (CF) SQL
CE assembly to read from a SQL Server CE file (.sdf)?

Best regards,

If you didn't use .NETcf specific classes or API, the answer is yes.
You can even execute the .NETcf program in PC.

However, SQLCE is .NETcf specific namespace, you can NOT
read .sdf on PC.

Thanks Chris! - Could you elaborate a little what the problem is with using
the SQL CE assembly on a PC? - Just curious!

There's no desktop engine for the SqlCe classes to use (the SQL CE Dlls).
