Optimal stategy about library inclusion on mixed platform projects

[Beorne]

I have two projects, one on WindowsCE (.NET compact framework 2.0
platform) and one on Windows XP (.NET 2.0 platform).
These two projects share a common library.
What is the optimal strategy for libraries inclusion in the common
library? Should I include the plain .NET 2.0 or the compact framework
versions of the libraries?
Is there a more elegant solution?

Thanks,
Matteo

Hi Matteo,

in my opinion, it is better to use the .Net Compact Framework version for a
shared library. But you should know, that the .Net Compact Framework has not
so many build-in functions like the full .Net Framework.
Also you should know, how you can handle P/Invokes with both platforms.
Maybe that could help you...
