Is it possible to host a managed control in the Mobile Internet Explorer or Webcontrols?

I would like to do the same as described in the posting below:

http://www.codeproject.com/dotnet/CSharpApplet.asp

but use the webpage/control combination on a Windows Mobile 5 device. Is this possible
It is not a problem implementing it for the full .NET framework, but I cannot find a decent page that describes the process for mobile devices (and the Compact Framework).

Thanks in advance,

Peter Vrenken

    Hi Peter

    No, a pure managed solution is currently not possible. This would require CLR hosting and other functionality which the .NET CF does not support at the moment.

    You might be able to implement this using some native (C++) code. A sample of such a project is available here:http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnppcgen/html/TodayScrn.asp

    Let me know if this helps.

    Hello Michael!

    thanks for your quick response. If this is not possible, do you know if i can use assemblies in an mobile application that reside on a webserver, and that get cached on the device This in order for the application to function, even if there is no connection to the webserver

    What i want to do is dynamically load an Assembly from an URL in an application, but that the assembly gets loaded, even if no connection is available when the application starts for a second time. Is this possible

    I am trying to develop a 'no touch deployment' system where the assemblies are stored on a central webserver. I know of the Application Updater Block but want to experiment with a few other solutions also.


    Thanks in advance for your 2 pennies,

    Peter Vrenken
