Win CE 5.0 device as controller

We got a request from our customer about how to make Win CE 5.0 device run a
.NET application that "interacts" - with a Windows compatible PC over
ethernet connection (preferably WiFi).
The idea is to create a DLNA compliant device which is kind of a remote
control running Win CE 5.0 that can run an application to selectively browse
content on a PC over network and be able to stream it to a Display such as a
TV etc.,

Is this simply going to be a standard .NET app that runs on Win CE .NET CF
?-

Any inputs will be helpful.

The .NET support in Windows CE is not the same framework as on the desktop
Windows machine (it is called the .NET Compact Framework in Windows CE and may
not be built into your OS), but code for simple communications is mostly
going to be the same.  That is, if you are expecting some fancy classes for
DLNA to be implemented on Windows CE, as they might be on the desktop, I
think you are out of luck.  If you want to write a simple sockets-based
program to send this packet and that packet over the network to the PC using
TCP/IP, that should work pretty much the same as on the desktop.
