C# Express Edition and mobile projects

[Pratheep]

Hi,

Can I compile code for mobile devices (Window Mobile 2005) using C# Express
or do I need the full version of C# for mobile devices?

thanks,
Pratheep

Hiya,

I've looked into this as well and from what I can tell (spent under 5
minutes researching it) but a quick google search told me that Express
edition cannot compile to the compact framework required on mobile devices.

But it would still be possible to write the code in VSEE and then
it against CF using NAnt ?

Probably. In 1.1 the compiler was a command line tool and VS was just a nice
method of interfacing with it, so other programs could compile code just as
easily. Presulably 2.0 works in a similar method. Try looking on the NAnt
page or something like that

2.0 is still a command line compiler and NAnt has fine support
for MS .NET, MS .NET CF and Mono.

The question mark was rhetorical. It was not a question but
a supplementary answer.
