Symbol mc70 supported .net compact framework

I have created a SmartDeviceProject in visual c#.
I have set Target platform "Windows mobile 5.0 pocket pc sdk" and
.net compact framework version 2.0.
After create project, i create installable cab file for symbol mc70.
I installed it to mc70, it shows install successfully,
but when try to open from start up menu it gives error "This application (testproject.exe) requires a newer version of the microsoft compact framework than the version installed on this device".
Please tell me for mc70 which .net compact framework version is supported ?

I can only think that it must be 3.5: The .NET Compact Framework 3.5 for Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R2 is available
Also look at this article: What's New in the .NET Compact Framework Version 3.5 and also
Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 3.5 redistributable is available for download
Here is the Download: .NET Compact Framework 3.5 Redistributable
From the link Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 3.5 redistributable is available for download above:

Q: How do I install this on to my device? This file is too big and won’t fit on my device. I put it on to the storage card but device tells me it’s of unknown type. What to do?

The solution is:

A: This file is an installer for your desktop, not for your device. To install NETCF V3.5 please attach your device to your desktop via WMDC (or Active Sync 4.0 or above) and run installation on your desktop. Installer would then deploy NETCF V 3.5 on to the device. Manual installation would be required for devices without active sync support (e.g. most Windows CE devices).

So I would:

Install the .NET Compact Framework 3.5
Connect the device and Install it to device as described above
