hi,

i have a project in visual studio that's set to build for mobile devices (.Net compact framework).
i would like to use that project also for a desktop application, but it needs to be compiled as .Net framework, not the compact one.

Any idea's?

Solution 1

One solution is to create two projects, and then use add as link in one of them to ensure that they refer to the same files.

Nice that you found it usefull. I use this technique a lot when I work with SilverLight and WCF. I put common definitions and types into an assembly for the full .Net platform, and link the same source files into the SilverLight version of the assembly.

Solution 3

Assuming the same functionality, you could use the same logic/back code for both of them, but have two UI's.
Just detect and call the correct UI.

Solution 4

Separate the UI from rest of the logic and you have achieved this.
