Run compact framework applications in desktops

[GD]

I use SQL Server Compact Edition in a pocket PC application. I wonder what
is required to run the application on XP Professional with full .Net
framework installed.

Thanks.

GD,

Although you can use SSCE on the desktop and the full .NET framework, the
actual DLLs are not the same. Moreover, if you're planning a real app and
not just a demo, you'll want a GUI that takes advantage of each platform's
strengths. That said, it is certainly possible to write desktop and CF apps
that use the same business logic/data access source code. Daniel Moth has
done some good sessions on this general topic:
