For the device I believe you will need .NET 2.0 - from http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa446497.aspx "Unfortunately, the .NET Compact Framework 1.0 does not support COM Interop. To be able to use existing COM objects inside a managed application, the approach is to write a native C++ wrapper DLL around the COM object." .NET 2.0 does support COM Interop and that article seems to be a good start.
