Can you share .NET DLLs (written in VB.NET using Visual Studio) between Full.NET, WindowsPhone, Silverlight, MonoTouch, MonoDroid. (And in Future also WinRT)
Is this possible?
I’m not looking to share UI code mostly just Models but maybe also some ViewModels (i.e. Using MVVM)
I was wondering whether using a Portable DLL would work?
See http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/b0e0b5e9-e138-410b-ad10-00cb3caf4981/
More details:
This is not something I need today.
I am looking at re-architecting existing projects written in VB.NET for .NET 4. This is going to be over the next year or so. Just like to have an idea whether Mono* devices will be able to play…
Thanks,

You can share the source code across projects for different platforms. You create the file once and link to other projects targeting different platforms. See this.
You can’t share the DLLs. You can’t for example reference .NET “desktop” assembly in Silverlight project because of the selected target platform.
