    Requesting for Experts advice on OpenNETCF.NET Class

    Hi All,

    I'm using OpenNETCF.NET library in order to accomplish one of my project requirement. As the application which i'm developing should be compatible for both WINCE & WIN32 platorms. In fact, i've tested my application on both the platforms which is working fine. The question raised in my mind is that, if microsoft come-up with a new service pack for Win32 & WinCE environment; whether the library will still work with out any issues.

     
    Thanks in advance,
     Sattex

    First, I don't believe a lot of the OpenNETCF.Net namespace is desktop compatible.  There a re a *lot* of P/Invokes in there, and I'm certain that many are not wrapped for use on the desktop.

     If you are using only a small subset that is working in both environments, great.  However we have absolutely no control over what Microsoft may or may not do in future versions of their OS, so there's no way for us to know if the software will continue to work.  Microsoft, at least on the CF and WinCE side of things, tries pretty hard to keep backward compatibility, at least over a few versions and especially for simple software APIs, so I wouldn't expect a change in the OS to alter the app.  But again, we're not Microsoft, so we can't guarantee anything.
