That is correct.
Code:#include <cmath> #include <complex> bool euler_flip(bool value) { return std::pow ( std::complex<float>(std::exp(1.0)), std::complex<float>(0, 1) * std::complex<float>(std::atan(1.0) *(1 << (value + 2))) ).real() < 0; }

The only requirement is that you have *some* .NET runtime installed on the system (most Windows systems do). Even so, there are vendors such as Xenocode that have product that will convert a .NET assembly into a "standalone" DLL/EXE.
Code:#include <cmath> #include <complex> bool euler_flip(bool value) { return std::pow ( std::complex<float>(std::exp(1.0)), std::complex<float>(0, 1) * std::complex<float>(std::atan(1.0) *(1 << (value + 2))) ).real() < 0; }
To clarify: so long as the .Net CF is installed on the scanner (client) then the MONO app will still find the unavailable binary serializer?
If that wont work, then I need to find a free app to create the standalone DLL.

Oh, well of course not. If it doesn't have the Serialization assembly on the system, it won't run. You could probably just locate the assembly in the Mono package and copy it to the target system, but I've never actually tried to do this, personally, so I'm not sure what technical obstacles might be encountered there.
EDIT:
It also looks like you could use Mono's mkbundle utility to merge the assembly containing System.Runtime.Serialization with your application.

I appreciate the input from both of you.
I've looked through multiple avenues and had a discussion with my superior. He suggested we go with the easiest implementation so long as it's not unbearably expensive. Thus, I had decided to go with As Good As It Gets .Net Compact Framework Remoting and Serialization "suite." Essentially it's a set of DLL's that mimic the usage of the normal .Net remoting and serialization but made to interact on the .Net CF. I downloaded the trial and things began to work after a few hours.
As a side note: I'm going to keep MONO in mind for when I make the jump to the Linux camp.
Thanks again for your help!
