Can we determine automatically a full .NET Framework application can be ported in CF

[shailendrab]

Hi,

I am developing some application in to Compact Framework 2.0 and most of the times development start from an already developed application in Full .Net framework.

So we start porting the application in Compact framework with hope it can be ported.

I was wondering if there is any way we can find out an application can be ported or how much complexity is involved if we port in advance automatically.

If there is any tool available (Currently using reflector with Analyze feature but this approach is manual) please let me know. Or any suggestion please share.

Thanks,
Shailendra

You can look at MSDN they have little device icons next to the APIs that are supported in the compact framework. Once you compile a list of those APIs you could pretty easily create an utility that will scan your source code for method calls that do not exist in that list.

That way you would not need to use the Reflect class.
