Dear All,
i have a question abt winCE 4.2 and SQL server CE.
i am using VB.net of Visual Studio 2005
My platform is using a PDA with winCE 4.2 and SQL server CE. The Host program is using dbf files on desktop side.
I got a problem of how to sync / read the sql CE data from a windows application.
so, i wanna ask,
1. any method to access the data from winCE data by windows application? or can i convert the sdf file to windows readable files? or any others?
2. Can i use a MDB to sync with SQL server CE?
can i synchronize the mobile device which has a SQL Server CE database with the Access database on the desktop?
last question,
3. is that windows CE .net 4.2 not support pocket access (cdb) anymore?
please help me out

I want to physically move my .SDF file to my desktop and then access this file from VS 2005 VB.NET. Ideally, I would want to access this .SDF file from MS Access 2003 but I undersand this is not possible.
Here are my VS 2005 VB.NET statements....
Dim ConnPPC As New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection("Data Source = C:Documents and SettingsG014436My DocumentsSQL
MobileActMgr6CE.sdf")
Dim mySqlDataAdapter2 As New SqlDataAdapter("select * from T0002_AE_Activity_Entry", ConnPPC)
mySqlDataAdapter2.Fill(myDataSet2)
On executing the last statement(fill)...I get the following error.
function failed: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)
Does anyone have any suggestions?

I want to create an application for home users which runs on their mobile device (smartphone) and their desktop PC and keeps the data synchronized between them. On their desktop I want to run either SSCE or SSExpress. There are so many options in the SSCE literature, which options should I use? How do I synchronize the data?
The literature has so many options I don't know where to start.

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 am developing a application where the database needs to be deployed from the central database server which is sql server 2005, and we have only few fields and few new tables which need to be deployed into pocket pc using sql mobile from sql server 2005. We would like to design the database in sql server 2005 for mobile, which will be only structure and will be deployed into PDA using web service.
Could anyone help on the above problem?

I have searched through this forum and the news group
microsoft.public.sqlserver.ce
for this topic. I only find a post from Darren Shaffer and I requested a document.
Unfortunately, there is not a clear example of how to create a mobile database (sdf) on a desktop machine which contains VS 2005 and SQL server 2005 by using Visual Basic 2005.
I am sure a clear example in VB for this problem would help a lot of people. Hence anybody who knows how to perform this task, Please help these people.
Thanks in advance

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,
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,
Steve

Hi,everyone!
I'm new to this forum and also new to Visual Studio 2005 .NET.
I'm going to develop a pocket pc(windows mobile 2005) application which needs to save some data introduced by the user.Later that data should be syncronized with MS SQL Server database.
The application is going to be developed using Visual Studio 2005 with c#.
So I'm doubting wich is the best way of syncronising the data between Pocket Pc and a Desktop PC.Should i use MS SQL Server Mobile(RDA,Merge Replication) or XML(Xml Web Services) would help me better?Or is there any other better way of data syncronization/storage?
Could anyone help me,or post some links + code samples,please?
Thanks!

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.

Hi,
I am using web service to synchronize data between SQL Server 2005 on a desktop and a SQL Server Mobile Edition on a mobile device.
Initially, when i added the data source to my mobile application, my .sdf only has 3 records. I am then supposed to retrieve 97 more records from the desktop server when my mobile application runs. After performing merging, I clicked (on my device emulator) on the .sdf deployed under my mobile application and the query analyzer showed all 100 records.
Does this mean my mobile database has been successfully updated with all 100 records? If not, how do I check that? The reason why I am asking this is that the file size of this .sdf with 100 records is still the same as the initial .sdf with only 3 records. How is this possible?
Am I missing anything or getting some concepts wrong? Please enlighten. Thanks.

I am using VS 2005 to develop a Pocket PC 2003 application and for some reason I dont have the ability to assign my datasource to a SQL Mobile Database?
When opening Server Explorer, right clicking Data Connection, Add New Data Source, Change Data Source, the only options I get are
Microsoft Access Database File
Microsoft ODBC Data Source
Microsoft SQL Server
Microsoft SQL Server Database File
Oracle Database
<other>
I was trying to follow the tutorial
Step by Step: Developing a SQL Mobile Application with Visual Studio 2005
and SQL Server 2005 (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnppcgen/html/med302_msdn_sql_mobile.asp)
and in that tutorial when they do the exact same thing it shows a screen shot that also lists 'Microsoft SQL Server Mobile Edition'
Any ideas why I dont have that option? FYI, I have SQL Server 2005 and have installed SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition.
Thanks

I want to create an application that will have support two platforms, Window's desktop and Windows Mobile 5/6. The application will need to have the data synchronized when the device is put in the cradle via ActiveSync on WinXP or Sync Center on Vista.
I want to use the new SQL Compact Edition to do this. The problem I'm having is how do I sync the data? I know about RDA and Merge Replication, but for a generally distributed application to customers via the internet, how do I make this work seamlessly without a complicated setup? This application will be sold to thousands of users without technical knowhow of how to use advanced synchronization configurations.
I have to assume other developers must be interested in a scenario like this, but I have yet to see a good solution in my searches on the web or Microsoft's site.
I don't want to use Access on the desktop. I also don't want to use RAPI to transfer files as there are security issues with newer devices.
I'm coming close to scoping out a 3rd party database or home-grown solution, but this would not be optimal.

This code...
string Path = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().CodeBase);
// Create the connection fConnection = new SqlCeConnection("Data Source ="" + Path + "\TreeNotes.sdf" ;Password ="abcd1234";");
fConnection.Open();
...works on my device, but on my computer it gives SqlCeException with message:
The database file cannot be found. Check the path to the database. [ File name = Program FilesTreeNotesTreeNotes.sdf ]
I've tried all sorts of things, but the computer just can't find the database. I've even tried putting a copy of the database into...
C:Program FilesTreeNotesTreeNotes.sdf...hoping that the computer will find it there.
What am I missing?

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
