Yes it's possible. You can stick with features that are in all editions of
the .NET framework.

You can also flag certain code blocks to compile only in certain conditions
(i.e. Release Build vs. Debug vs. Compact Edition build).

Thanks for the reply!
Can you advise me on how to make sure I only use those features that are
supported by the Compact Framework? I am using Visual Studio 2005.

Thanks,
Zer0
