Mixing frameworks

[eschneider]

Hello,

I was wonder is it is ok to mix the various frameowrks. I have an
application which is targeting Win Mobile 6.
Currently using the following:

C:\Program
Files\Microsoft.NET\SDK\CompactFramework\v3.5\WindowsCE\System.Windows.Forms.dll

C:\Program Files\Windows Mobile 6 SDK\Managed
Libraries\Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Forms.dll

Is this ok? There seems to be no other way...

Thanks,
Eric

I don't see any problem with that. You're using the generic framework and a
specific assembly that only works on a particular device type, WM6,
together. That sort of thing happens all the time. Presumably, the
WindowsMobile namespace will use some classes from the .NET CF, so there are
probably versioning restrictions (you couldn't use it with .NET CF 1.0,
say), but it seems like anything from .NET CF 2.0, which is what's in ROM on
WM6, if I remember right, should be fine.
