Using Compact Framework controls on Full Framework Application

[tecktim.khoo]

Hi,

I need to use a compact framework designed dll control on a .Net
Windows desktop application. The problem is that the compact framework
control inherits from System.CF.Windows.Forms and the full framework
form will only add controls which inherit from System.Windows.Forms
..Does anyone know a way around this?

Cheers
Tim

If you don't need the design-time behaviour and your control doesn't
implement any device specific functionality, you should be able to use it on
a desktop by creating its instance from the code.
