Since I don't have a device yet and it is good for early prototyping, I am using a custom emulator for my project for the time being. As we all know (I recently only...) the Device Emulator project is targeted to the standard .NET framework (v4.5).

 

My actual application is a .NET Microframework v4.3 project with ".NET Microframework 4.3" as the target. So far so good...

 

Now, since for the configuration of both applications I need things like pin numbers and perhaps a few interface definitions, rather than duplicating them in both the uF console app and the .NET device emulator project, I thought a common library project would be more suitable to share those things I mentioned.

 

My question is... such "common library" project to be used with both the Device Emulator project AND the uF Console Application should be targetted at the uF (the lowest denominator) or is this approach just not possible?

Just found out it is not possible. If you reference a uF common library from the emulator you get this error:

Warning	1	The project 'CommonLibrary' cannot be referenced. The referenced project is targeted to a different framework family (.NETMicroFramework)	MyDeviceEmulator

so the problem remains how to share certain data types (interfaces, classes, structs) that are common to both the emulator and the uF application taking into consideration that the common library should behave the same (some methods such as ToString are implemented differently in the frameworks) and compile under both frameworks. Pity...
