If you write mobile applications targeting different versions of .NET CF, you will need to explicitly configure the application to run using that specific .NET CF version. The .NET CF App Configuration tool allows you to do this. It is located in this folder on your development machine:
Program FilesMicrosoft.NETSDKCompactFrameworkv3.5WindowsCEwce500 armv4iNetCFCfg.exe
You will need to copy this file into your mobile device/emulator. You can place the file in any folder you wish. When you run this tool from your mobile device, you will see a window with a number of tabs displayed at the bottom. The About tab shows the currently installed versions of .NET CF on the mobile device.
The GAC tab shows all the assemblies registered in the Global Assembly Cache of the mobile device/emulator. You can use this list to check if an assembly you are using in your application is registered with the GAC.
The Device Policy tab shows the default .NET CF version that is used to launch your .NET CF applications.
The Application Policy tab (shown in the next screenshot) allows you to configure the .NET CF version that is used for each individual application. The setting here overwrites the setting in the Device Policy tab.
