Hi,

I'm starting a new project. It will run on devices running Windows CE, Windows Mobile 6 and will also have a desktop version. The software will connect to some equipments through the serial port, using it's own protocol. Basically it will:

  • connect to the equipment
  • send and receive info
  • read and write binary files

These tasks will be shared between desktop and mobile devices. I've been searching the information I need, but I still have some doubts:

  1. If I target Windows CE devices it will work with Windows Mobile 6 too?
  2. Creating a class library targeting Windows CE will give me any trouble on using it in the desktop version? (when I add a reference to that class library, my VS says that I could experience some unexpected results)
  3. Is it possible to install .NET CF 3.5 on devices running Windows CE 4.2?

Thanks!
