If I write a service for windows that talks to a windows mobile application, and they want to exchange data can I type an object as the same type between applications by way of an interface?

The question comes from the face that I have to compile separate assemblies for each side on different frameworks, however I do not know if the interface definition is the same and exists in the same namespace on both sides then will an object serialized in one be able to be de-serialized in the other application?
 
Have you considered implementng the server side process as a web service? That way you could use xml as a transport format and the issue of binary compatability between the different platforms wouldn't be an issue.
