I have an SDF using SQLCE 2.0. When I run the app on a Pocket PC device running Windows Mobile 5.0 I get 0x80004005 and 0x80040e21 errors. The same app executes fine on PPC 2003.
The app is written in VC++ using and uses the SQLCE OLEDB Provider to access the SDF. It is complied with eVC 4.0
Any idea as to the problem?
Long story short -
Have two C# applications - one WinForms desktop app, the other a WinForms smart device app. Both use SQL Server Compact CE 3.5 to store data locally. Both work just fine.
Now the desktop app needs to open and update the .SDF file that is stored on the Windows Mobile device. (Device will be docked via USB.)
What format would the path to the .SDF look like that the WinForms application would need to specify in order to open it?
Thanks for reading.

Hi,
I'm writing a windows application using VB.NET 2005 that must connect to Pocket PC via ActiveSync to read data from SQL Server CE. This is my code:
Dim cnn As New SqlCeConnection
cnn.ConnectionString = "Data Source =Mobile DeviceStorage CardProgram FilesMyAppMobileDB1.sdf"
cnn.Open()
But I get the following error:
The path is not valid. Check the directory for the database. [ Path = Mobile DeviceStorage CardProgram FilesMyAppMobileDB1.sdf ]
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Dear ppl,
I have a windows mobile 5.0 application that syncronises with SQL Sever 2005 (Merge Replication). The replication works fine without SSL. But when using SSL it doesn't work .On the device i get an error
28037, A request to send data to the computer running IIS has failed.
I have created a a Wild Card Certificate (*.domain-name.net) using Microsoft Certificate Services (Stand Alone) and setup the replication website with replication virtual directory under it , in IIS, to use this certificate. The host header for the replication site is set to "sql.domain-name.net". I have binded the host headers to the port as well.
I can access the https://sql.domain-name.net/replication/sqlcesa30.dll from remote computer and device and it says Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition Server Agent, that means it is setup correctly.
I have installed the certificate authority and its wild card certificate on the device Root Certificates. Now when I call repl.syncrhonise() from device .. it throws exception with error 28037, A request to send data to the computer running IIS has failed.
which i think means, it can't find the service url.
I am not sure what is the problem..something to do with Trust - SSL certificates... Is there any thing i am missing ?
Awaiting,
We have setup a 32-bit IIS server on a 32-bit machine. Installed necessary SQL Server components (32-bit replication components). We have installed SQL Server 2005 64-bit SP1 with latest hotfixes on a 64-bit machine.
On the Mobile device we installed SQL Server 2005 Mobile.
When we start mergereplication the problem we have is error 28009 (An instance of the SQL Server Reconciler cannot be created) on the mobile device. I read allot about it, but still have a questetion.
Should this work?
I found the doc: SQL Server 2005 Upgrade Technical Resource Guide:
Note: If your upgrade involves SQL Server CE subscribers, you must perform additional actions on the IIS server. You will need to install SQL Server 2005 client connectivity components along with SQL Server Mobile Edition components on the IIS server. You will also have to replace sqlcesa30.dlll, sqlcerp30.dll, and all the replication components on the IIS server.
From this I conclude it should work or is the doc in error?
If it does not, what can we do?
32-bit SQL Server 2005 on the 64-bit machine should work. (Can a 64-bit SQL Server 2005 run alongside 32-bit SQL Server 2005?).
Beste regards,

I use my Pocket PC XDA O2 mini for 2 years already and I don't have any problems when I sync it with my previous laptop which has Window XP operation system.
A few months ago, I bought a new laptop with Window Vista operation system, I could not sync my O2 mini with my PC. Then, I download Windows Mobile Device Center but my computer still could not recognize my O2 mini. My O2 mini has window mobile 2003 Second Edition Version 4.21.1088 operation system. Please let me know if you have any advices.
Thanks.
New to VS2005 and I've got a simple WM5 app that runs fine on the emulator, but when I do a deploy to the device and try to run it I get:
'System.Data.SqlServerCE, Version = 3.0.3600.0, Culture = neutral, PublicKeyToken = 3BE235DF1C8D2AD3' or one of its dependencies, was not found.
I have added the *.sdf to the Deploy project and in the dependencies portion of the Deploy project it has the "System.Data.SqlServerCE.dll" listed.
Appreciate any comments or suggestions.
Thanks,

Basically I have developed a mobile application that programmatically creates the database, the code worked on a similar device (Win CE 50), trying to run the application on a new device resulted in database creation errors. I tried creating a test database manually .. and this is what I got.
Browsing MSDN or searching on the Forum did not help.

I have set up a locahost site in IIS using the "Configure Web Synchronization Wizard". One of the first test I was asked to do was to open a broweser and browse to http://localhost/MobileTest/sqlcesa30.dll
If all is well I should get a web page with the following line:
SQL Server Mobile Server Agent 3.0
But unfortunately I get an error stating :
"The server has encountered an error while loading an application during the processing of your request. Please refer to the event log for more detail information. Please contact the server administrator for assistance."
I checekd the Event log and found this error related the IIS launch process on my machine.
DCOM got error "Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password. " and was unable to logon .IWAM_Rataq in order to run the server:
where Rataq is the name of my machine. Could my IWAM_Rataq account be corrupted, my other sites on the machine work.
Infact if i put in a Test.htm page in the virtual directory MobileTest I am able to browse to the page.
Can the Account be re-set? is there another problem that I am not aware of. I have Norton Internet 2006 running could that be the reason? Could Norton be blocking the dll from loading? But the event log states it is a Account error.
Any ideas why this might occur? any help is always appreciated
I'm getting the following error when trying to connect to the sqlce database on my mobile device.
"Specified SQL server not found: (Program FilesDBA_test.sdf)"
The DB file exists in the directory specified and is in working order I was able to run a simple sql query against it (SELECT * FROM A_Test). So, I'm a little confused on how to correct this problem??? I'm assuming it's some type of mapping issue with the program and the DB but I'm not sure how to correct..
Code Snippet
Public Function DB_Dataset() As DataSet 'returns a dataset with query results
' Make the database connection.
Dim myConnection As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(GetConnectionString())
'Open the connection
myConnection.Open()
'Open a set of records
Dim ad As SqlDataAdapter = New SqlDataAdapter("SELECT [names] FROM testtable", myConnection)
Dim ds As DataSet = New DataSet()
'Close the connection
myConnection.Close()
End Function
Private Function GetConnectionString() As String
Return "Data Source=(" & apppath + "DBA_test.sdf);Database=A_test; Integrated Security=SSPI;"
End Function
Also since there's a DataSet that contains the connection information shouldn't I be able to access this directly instead of having to supply the connection information in a connect string?
Thanks.
I've created a simple application that uses a SQLCE 3.5 database. When I debug it SQLCE 3.5 is deployed to the emulator. However, I made a "smart device cab project" for my application and copied the cab file to my windows mobile 6 device and it does not deploy SQLCE 3.5. I don't see a way to specify the prerequisites of the "smart device cab project" like you can in a normal setup project. How can I get SQLCE 3.5 to deploy with my application...or even just get it on my device? I've tried installing it on my desktop with the device connected via active sync, but it doesn't install on the device like the compact framework did.

Dear ppl,
I am writing an application for a device (MDA Pro T-Mobile) having Windows Mobile 5.0 using
-MS .NET Compact Framework 2.0 SP-1
-SQL Mobile 2005.
-VS 2005 .NET
The application uses Merge Replication. The error occurs in the Synchronise() Method of the SqlCeReplication object.
"SQL Server Mobile encountered problems when opening the database."
repl.AddSubscription(AddOption.CreateDatabase);
repl.Synchronize();
I don't understand why I am having this error. It does create the database on AddSubscription() method but it is failing opening the database on Synchronise(). I have also tried uninstalling and then reinstalling all the SQL Mobile components in the following order.
-sqlce30.wce5.armv4i.cab
-sqlce30.repl.wce5.armv4i.cab
-sqlce30.dev.ENU.wce5.armv4i.cab
However, when i run this application on a device(Dell X50 AXIM) with Pocket PC 2003, it runs fine creating the database and sysnchronising it.
The target platform for the project is Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC SDK.
Does any one have any clue what could be the problem ?

Hello,
I am developping a non-managed C++ application for PocketPC using a SQL Server mobile database.
The application is compiled for PocketPC 2003 and uses SQL Server Mobile v2. I use Visual Studio 2005. But I need to compile the application for Windows Mobile 5.0 devices. So I installed the WM5 SDK and had the WM5 into my project configuration.
The "ssceoledb.h" which I include incluses the "transact.h" file. But my problem is that this file is only provided with the PocketPC 2003 SDK and not in the WM5 SDK.
So I cannot use the WM5 configuration project with SQL Server. I also tried with the last SQL Server Mobile 2005 (ie v3.0) and the "ssceoledb30.h" also includes "transact.h".
Did I miss something to install ?
Do you know how I can resolve the problem ?
By advance, thank you for any answer.

Hi All,
I have just installed SQL Server Compact Edition (including the SDK) for use with Borland Developer Studio 2006. I have an ADOConnection component on my form, but the Provider I want (Microsoft.SQLSERVER.MOBILE.OLEDB.3.0) is not available. Typing in the connection string: "Provider=Microsoft.SQLSERVER.MOBILE.OLEDB.3.0;Data Source=C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server Compact Editionv3.1SDKSamplesNorthwind.sdf..." results in an "Unspecified Error". I have checked the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTCLSID and the provider associated with SQLCE is not there.
I've read a couple of posts indicating that it should have been registered during install. Is this the case or do I have to do something more to register this provider?
I've checked the assembly (system.data.sqlserverCe - it seems OK) and re-registered sqlceolebd30.dll. I'm not sure what else needs to be done.
TIA,
Luke
Using MS VS 2005 (incl SQL Server Mobile)
MS Pocket PC 2005 SDK
I am working on a project that builds for Pocket PC on both Mobile 2003 and Mobile 5. The project uses/will use SQL Server Mobile to store local data.
Project created from new with support for both platforms. I include required header files ssceerr30.h and ssceoledb30.h.
Project builds fine in WM2003 configuration, release and debug.
When I build for WM5 the compiler cannot find the header file transact.h. This is included from within ssceoledb30.h. Same as under WM2003.
In WM2003 configuration if I highlight the ssceoledb30.h include in Visual Studio and open the header, it takes me to <Visual Studio dir>SmartDevicesSDKSQL ServerMobilev3.0. I then locate the include for transact.h and do the same, which takes me <Visual Studio dir>SDKPocketPC2003include. The file exists.
If I repeat the above 'browsing' under the WM5 configuration, ssceoledb30.h takes me to a different copy in the WM5 SDK directory. There is no diff between the file here and the other copy used by WM2003. If I attempt to open transact.h - file does not exist.
Fix (which I'm not too sure about, i.e. is it OK?) - If I copy transact.h to the WM5 SDK directory, the project builds.
Why has transact.h disappeared from WM5 SDK?
I can find no ref's to this problem anywhere. Is my installation of the WM5 SDK corrupt? What else could I be missing?
Is there a sample for SQL Server mobile (like the NorthwindOLEDB sample) that comes configured to build for WM5?
I have built an application for storing my flight times on my phone after each leg of a trip... I am using C# and Sql CE as the storage system for later export to a larger desktop version (in the works). My question is related to storing the sdf file on the storage card. Can it be done and what would the connection string look like since I have tried and got a error stating it can't find the sdf file in question. I have it setup right where if I were to do a fresh install it would ask for the install directory main memory or storage card. If I select storage card it installs just fine but when I run the app it does fail with the aforementioned error..
Storage Card is 2 gigs..
Thanks

Hi all, I'm new to mobile devices.
I have a desktop application that uses SQL Server Compact Edition. I will soon have a mobile application that will use the same database. How can I (at runtime of the desktop app, say when the user clicks a button) transfer the sdf file to the mobile device? I'm not necessarily interested in synchronizing the databases, simply overwriting the database on the mobile device with the one on the desktop would suffice.
Is something like this possible?
Thanks!
Hello,
I try to connect the SQL Server from the mobile device.
my connection string is:
string conn_str = "Server= 10.0.0.11;Database=theDB005;uid=bahadir;pwd=abcd;Trusted_Connection=false;";
when i try to open the connection I get SqlException,altough the 10.0.0.11 machine is reachable.. is not allowed to access a remote sql server with ip?
Thanks in advance.
I have been unable to properly install SQL Mobile 2005 on my armv4i windows CE 5 device. Below is a summary of what I have found and done. Any help in resolving my issue will be appreaciated. Thanks in advance for your help.
Symptoms:
No errors occur during installation of SQL Mobile on the device via cab files (either deployed through VS2005 or manually copied and installed on the device)
SQL Mobile 2005 appears to be installed, can see it in the device remove programs list. All 7 SQL Mobile dll files are present in the windows folder. (sqlceca30.dll, sqlcecompact30.dll, sqlceer30en.dll, sqlceme30.dll, sqlceoledb30.dll, sqlceqp30.dll, sqlcese30.dll - version for all files is 3.0.5206).
The following error occurs when attempting to create a new or open an existing database using SQL Mobile query analyzer on the device - "Failed to initialize the provider. Please make sure that SQL Server Mobile Edition is properly installed".
Problem is not isolated to SQL Mobile query analyzer, a similar problem occurs when attempting to instantiate SQL objects from within a C#.Net smart device test program - "Can't find PInvoke DLL 'sqlceme30.dll'.
Problem is not solved by copying SQL Mobile dll files to program folders.
No registry entries exist for any of the 7 SQL Mobile dll files under the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.
None of the dll files for SQL Mobile can be registered manually via the regsrvce.exe program. The error code c1 is returned - invalid win32 application (Note SQL CE 2.0 dll files can be successfully registered via this program).
Background:
The desktop used for development is running Windows 2000 sp4. The develpment enviroment is Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition (version 8.0.50727.42 (RTM.050727-4200). The version of the Microsoft .NET Framework installed is 2.0.50727. The programming language is C#.NET. The device is a 64 MEG Armv4i device running a custom image of windows CE5. The CE5 image was created by Platform Builder with all QFE's through 2005 applied. .NET Compact Framework version 1.0.4292 and SQL CE version 2.0 are included as part of the image (both are in ROM). .NET Compact Framework version 2.0.5238 and SQL CE Mobile are installed via CAB files in the order defined below:
netcfv2.wce5.armv4i.cab
sqlce30.wce5.armv4i.cab

Hello,
I am using the SQL Reporting services with SQL Server 2005. I am able to view my reports in the report manager however, when the report generates on my device it shows blank of 0 pages. I created a simple test report with just a header, company's logo and contact info and still no luck. I am using anoynomous user access and have given IUSR datareader access in SQL Server. Not sure where I am going wrong. I feel like I am so close...If someone out there had any success viewing reports on mobile device (WM5.0) and would be so kind to share their experience or knowledge, I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks.

Hello,
VS 2005 & SQL server 2005
I developed a mobile application PDA using the Compact Framework 2.0. And using typed datasets
I have also developed a web service. When the PDA is connected to the Internet it can access the web service and get all the data that is in the sql database. The user can add new records, update existing records, and delete them. So the web service acts like a middle man.
In the PDA the data is filled using typed datasets.
However, the customer now wants to be able to interact with there data on the PDA, currently they have to be connected to the Internet. But if there is no internet connection, then they will still like to add, update, and delete the records. Then once they have a connection, all these would be updates with the sql database.
What is the most efficient method to do this.
Many thanks for any suggestions,

I am trying to use SSIS to pull data from teradata to SQL2005.
View 19 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded our application from SSCE 2.0 to SQL Mobile. Our app is written in C++, and we use OLE DB for most of our queries, including the routine the downloads and inserts our lookup table data. This application is running on a Dell Axim X51.
Using SSCE 2.0, this routine takes 236 seconds, with most time spent inserting data into various tables (using OLE DB). The resultant database size is 15.1 MB.
Using SQL Mobile, this routine now takes 675 seconds, with a resultant database size of 27.9 MB!! There is a noticable increase in time when the downloaded data is being inserted into the database.
What would be the reason(s) for the slower performance and the increased size of the database? This appears to be a monumental step backwards in performance. Any suggestions regarding improving the perfomance and size?
I've written a query to pull data from a SQL Mobile database which seems to completely hang the device when I run it (I waited several minutes before warm-starting). Yes, it's a bit complex, but it works fine on the desktop version--completes pretty much instantly.
Are there any limits to SQL Mobile that might prevent me from writing such a query? There are not very many records in any of the tables (all are <20, except one which is ~2500).
Here is the query:
------------------------------------code---------------------------
SELECT oi.ProductID, g.GenusName, Species.SpeciesName, f.FormName, f.Abbr, sz.Sizes, su.SizeUnits, su.Abbr, pa.PackageName, pa.Abbr, oi.NumRequested, oi.NumProvided

Hey guys,
So I started an SQL CE database for use inside a mobile application. I used SSMS to create a .sdf file (because if I let Visual Studio do it, SSMS can't open it because it will be version 3.5).
The reason I wanted to use SSMS is because I wanted to be able to design the database in design view, and populate it with initial information for the application to use. That means adding tables and rows.
The problem is, SSMS doesn't seem to have a design view available when working with CE databases. It also doesn't seem to have a feature for adding rows into tables. It's essentially as useless as VS2008 for designing my mobile database. It only lets me add tables, and I can't even do that visually in design view. I have to use those cumbersome forms.
Is there any way to design a CE database in design view? And add rows of data into tables? It feels like I'm overlooking something.
Note: I dont need to subscribe or publish the database. The mobile application just needs to use the database as a repository.
Hi, Guys
I read a lot of your post about the mobile device connecting SQL Server. I try to solve my problem, but i still in trouble of Mobile database application.
The following is my development enviroment
Visual Studio .net 2005
Sql Server 2005
Windows CE.Net 4.2
Microsoft ActiveSync 4.2
First i can run some simple application on the Mobile Device( Symbol MC9060G Mobile Device), all the connection between develop PC and Mobile Device is fine. All the develop SDK for the Mobile device without problem.
Secont, i can develop a simple normal windows database application, work fine, can get data from SQL Server 2005. the connection to database server is fine.
I used VS2005 develop a simple database with DataGrid on the form( all the code generated by the VS 2005), when run the program, got error at " int returnValue = this.Adapter.Fill(dataTable)"
error "PlatformNotSupportedException". I don't know what's going on.
I think the connection to the database no problem. Maybe the Mobile device has problem. I insatlled sql.ppc.wce4.armv4.cab file to mobile device.
Can someone help me out?
Thanks.
