XP <-> CE and webservices

[Guest]

Hi,

We are developing an app that ideally will run with webservices
cross-platform on CE and XP.
The Visual studio project target platform is Windows CE.
The test app works fine under the WinCE emulator and we can run webservices
successfully.
When the same .exe is run from Windows XP SP2, the webservice method
generates an error.
("Method xx.aa can not be found").

Any suggestions?

One Exe to do both? You can't AFAIK.
The main problem is the CE device runs .Net CF, and the desktop runs .Net.
Two seperate frameworks.

Device assemblies are retargetable and will run on the desktop. Search
Daniel Moth's blog for a very detailed explanation and recommendations.

I would suggest you use a separate DLL for each target platform to call your
webservice. I had an issue once that forced me to do so. It raised a TypeLoad
exception which is not your case though. But you could give it a try.
