You can't. This is C# code. Microsoft hasn't deemed it necessary to write a C# compiler for Linux. C# is kind of a dumbed down C++ (this will start a flame war). You can try converting C# to C/C++. I would stand a better chance of running under Windows in one of the PocketPC development environments.

You might try looking for a PocketPC emulator or vmware type interface. If one is available, you could run the binaries.

Go to Griffin Technologies page and see if they don't have code that might work on Linux

Go to google groups and look for a group that does pocketPC programming. And ask your question there. The group would know more than here.

Good Luck.
