Version Woes

Hi,
VS2008 target 3.5
Third party DLL that works OK when deployed in Windows app.
When deployed in Smart Device app I get:

System.MissingMethodException was unhandled
Message="The version of the assembly System, Version=1.0.5000.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089 cannot be loaded by
this version of the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework."
StackTrace:
at CoronisPocketPC.Form1..ctor()
at CoronisPocketPC.Program.Main()

Any clues on how to fix this would be appreciated.
thanks
Bob

Looks like that DLL is referencing the desktop System.dll which cannot be
used on devices.

Sure, that's expected. Smart Device apps cannot consume desktop assemblies.
You need to get a CF assembly from the third party (if they have one).

Hi Simon and Chris,
Thanks for your quick responses.
I'll pursue getting a CF Version.

Bob
