Will the OpenNETCF.Desktop.Communication dll work with VB.Net 2008?  I want to be able to copy an SQL CE 3.5 database from a handheld, read/update records, and then copy it back to the handheld...or something similar.  The devices will be Windows Mobile 5.0.

Any tips would be appreciated.

 The code is compatible from Studio 2003 on up - we simply don't have solutions for every configuration.  You can add a reference to it from an '08 project or pull in the source and build it yourself.

Is there any advantage to building the source myself over just adding a reference?  Also, what is required for redistribution of an app that uses it?

Thanks for you help.

Building it yourself ensures you have the latest code with all fixes.

Redistribution is pretty simple - take a look at the license for it (pretty much you can do whatever you wish).
