Run CF 1.0 programs with CF 2.0?

[Benjamin Lukner]

Hi!

It is possible to run CF 1.0 programs on a device having only CF 2.0
installed. But there is a good chance that it will throw an exception
sooner or later when specific functions are called because of the about
2000 breaking changes between the CF versions.

Did I get that right?

Kind regards,

Benjamin,

It's certainly worth a try. Although there are indeed changes, you'll
probably need to test to see if they affect your app.

Thanks!

Actually I get an ArgumentException. "An error text cannot be displayed
because the corresponding assembly is missing." Is that the exception
I'll get when tapping into the "Breaking Change Trap"?

If there are both versions installed, will my app then use the CF 1.0?

Kind regards,
