I need to send mail from a Windows Embedded Compact 7 device and I'm trying to use OpenNETCF.Net.Mail.
My project is in VB.NET, CF3.5 and when I add OpenNETCF.Net.Mail to the project references the building fails (without adding a single line of code related to that library).
I have added also OpenNETCF, OpenNETCF.Net and OpenNETCF.Windows.Forms without any problem.
I get no error in the output log, just at the end the word FAILED...
I have never used OpenNETCF before so I apologize if my error is trivial but I couldn't find any solution.
To get this problem it is enough to create a new SmartDevice project (VB.NET, CF3.5) and in the property of the project to add a reference to OpenNETCF.Net.Mail.dll: the project doesn't compile any more. I just get a warning about a version conflict:
Consider app.config remapping of assembly "System, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=969db8053d3322ac, Retargetable=Yes" from Version "2.0.0.0" [] to Version "3.5.0.0" [C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft.NET\SDK\CompactFramework\v3.5\WindowsCE\System.dll] to solve conflict and get rid of warning.
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\Microsoft.Common.targets : warning MSB3247: Found conflicts between different versions of the same dependent assembly.
Searching info about that warning I found that it is "safe" to ignore it because the OpenNETCF version that I'm using (2.3.12004.0) is compatible with CF3.5.
If I remove the reference to OpenNETCF.Net.Mail.dll and I add a reference to OpenNETCF.Windows.Forms.dll I get 5 warnings about remapping but the project compiles.
Anyone has a suggestion to solve my problem?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, it seems that this topic is not very interesting but I've found the solution and I want to share it.
I contacted OpenNETCF support and Chris Tacke answered very kindly.
The solution is to remove from project references System.Xml.Linq that for some reason sometimes generates this kind of problem in VB.NET CF 3.5 projects.
