Compact Framework development using C# Express Version

Question

I am wondering if one could use the C# Express version to do Compact Framework development. I've done some Google searches but I can't find a defiant answer. I have installed C# Express but there isn't a project template to select for "smart device" development. I will continue my search but I was hoping that the stackoverflow community may be able to assist in finding this information.

Answer 1

I don't think it is possible, at least not directly, given that C# Express edition is crippled to only support basic projects and does not allow addins.
