Hi all

I have just started some research into writing an app for Windows Mobile
2003 for an ARM processor device, so please excuse my in-experience or any
stupid questions...

What I would like to do :
----------------------------
I would like to write an app for a Pocket PC running Windows Mobile 2003
that can take data from a received SMS message and create a new calendar
appointment using some of that data. However the part about getting the data
from an SMS is the second phase and all I'm concentrating on right now is
being able to add,delete and view appointments/calendar items.

What I have done :
----------------------
I have created a windows mobile app using visual studio .Net and VB.Net and
have got the basic frontend of the prototype that I want to demo for my boss.
All using the Windows Mobile 2003 emulator.

Where I am stuck :
----------------------
I want to create a new calendar entry. So I try import the pimstore.dll for
the arm processor however it is not a valid assembly, presumably because the
.Net compact framework doesn't allow COM dll's to be referenced as in a
normal .Net desktop application.

So I use the tlbimp.exe function to change the pimstore.dll to a
pimstoreM.dll. Now this file I can import into my Mobile app but with an
error that the import may or may not be for the correct platform. ??

Once that has been added, I cannot view the reference in the object browser
as normal, but I can type all the coding using the normal pimstore.dll
interfaces, without any errors indicated by the blue underlining. However
when I compile the app i get the following :

1) Error: The dependency 'mscorlib, Version=1.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=969db8053d3322ac' in project 'Diarise' cannot be copied to the
run directory because it would conflict with dependency 'mscorlib,
Version=1.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'.
   and
2) Error: The dependency 'mscorlib, Version=1.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' in project 'Diarise' cannot be copied to the
run directory because it would conflict with dependency 'mscorlib,
Version=1.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=969db8053d3322ac'.

I'm not sure why I'm getting these errors, or how to overcome them. Please
any suggestions will help...
