Sql Server 2005 Mobile/RDA Connection Problem
Apr 14, 2006I have a working Pocket PC 2003 app that uses RDA to exchange data with SQL Server 2000. I'm attempting to port it to a Windows CE 5.0 device. (I'll be porting to Mobile 5 in the near future, but the gadget I have at the moment is CE).
I installed SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition on the computer running IIS according to package directions, and used the wizard to set up a virtual directory with sscesa30.dll.
The directory I was previously using with sscesa20.dll is still there, and still works.
I set up the virtual directory to use basic authentication without SSL. (I know that's not advisable). I have confirmed that I can reach the URL using the username and password I supplied to the wizard.
When I try to pull data I get the following:
------------------- SQL CE Exception
Error Code: 80004005
Message : An error has occurred on the computer running IIS. Try restarting the IIS server.
Minor Err.: 28022
Source : Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition
I have tried restarting IIS without effect. Any clues?
Connection String Encryption For SQL Server Mobile
Sep 28, 2006I'm seeking suggestions on how to go about encrypting a database connection string in the compact framework. It's something that I thought would be relatively straight forward as I've accomplished it without much difficulty in the full framework, but I'm stuggling to find a solution.
I've been trying to implement a solution using public/private key asymmetric encryption using the RSA provider. I've essentially been trying to encrypt the connection string once on my development machine so that I can include both the encrypted connection string value and public key in either code or an external file. I'd then keep the private key out of harms reach. The problem I've encountered in doing this is that that RSA provider seemingly only allows new "in session" keys to be generated and I can't figure out a way of importing a public key from a file or other similar means.
I found the following code which is meant to allow a key to be retrieved from a signed assembly or an SNK file, which I've converted to VB but haven't been able to get working:
http://www.topxml.com/-NET-XML-System-XML/re-2963_Get-RSA-Public-key-from-Assembly-or-SNK-File.aspx
After the code seems to successfully prepare the CspParameters from an SNK files, I get an unspecified error when executing ImportParameters on the RSA provider.
I'd imagine this to be a common requirement, but haven't been able to find much information specific to the compact framework on the web. Any guidance would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve
SQL Server 2005 Mobile: Problem With Connection To Database
Aug 3, 2006Hi, everyone! I have a small problem.
It consists in:
1. I'm trying to connect to database on my Pocket PC within Visual Studio 2005 (C#)
Connection string looks like this:
SqlCeConnection1.ConnectionString = "data source = '\storage card\mobiluser.sdf'";
But when i'm deploying it to Pocket PC the error "An error message cannot be displayed because an optional resource assembly containing it cannot be found" appears.
2. When I'm doing te same on Pocket PC Emulator everything is normal.
Off course, I have the .sdf file on Pocket PC which is placed to Storage Card into root directory.
If anyone knows where I get a mistake, help me please!
Thanks for your help!
SqlCeConnection Failing To Open A Connection To The SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition
Apr 15, 2008Good day,
I am writing an application using VB.Net 2005 for the Windows CE 5.0 device and it is connecting to a SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition Database.
The trouble I'm having is establishing a connection to a SQL Server Mobile database on the device.
Here is the code I am using:
Code Snippet
Public gConnectionString As String = "Data Source=Program FilesMobAppMobDB.sdf;Persist Security Info=False;"
Code Snippet
Imports System.Data.SqlServerCe
Public Class DBManager
Public Shared gSQLCEConnection As SqlCeConnection
Public Shared Function OpenDB() As Boolean
If gSQLCEConnection IsNot Nothing Then
Throw New InvalidOperationException("Connection already open.")
End If
gSQLCEConnection = New SqlCeConnection(gConnectionString)
Try
gSQLCEConnection.Open() 'Error occurs here
Return True
Catch ex As SqlCeException
MsgBox(ex.Message & vbCrLf & ex.HResult & vbCrLf & ex.NativeError & vbCrLf & ex.Source)
Return False
End Try
End Function
In the immediate window I recieve the following messages:
A first chance exception of type 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' occurred in mscorlib.dll
A first chance exception of type 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' occurred in mscorlib.dll
A first chance exception of type 'System.UnauthorizedAccessException' occurred in mscorlib.dll

A first chance exception of type 'System.UnauthorizedAccessException' occurred in mscorlib.dll
A first chance exception of type 'System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeException' occurred in System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll
I believe that the first few lines are caused by the icons/pictures that I have included with my app, but the SqlCeException line occurs when the connection to the .SDF file is trying to be established.
Here is the exception output:
Message: "" (Blank)
HResult: -2147024882

Any ideas on what could be stopping this connection from being established? It was working before but all of a sudden just stopped. I have warm booted, cold booted, and rebuilt with no luck and also checked that SQL Query Analyzer is not running on the PDA and that the connection string is valid.
The call to OpenDB occurs in the form_load of the startup object.
Thanks in advance,

SQL Server Mobile Merge Replication Walkthrough, Cant Find The .NET Framework Data Provider For SQL Server Mobile Edition.
Sep 9, 2005Hi,
View 3 Replies View RelatedSQL Server Mobile 2005 Merge Replication Problem On Windows Mobile 5.0
Aug 8, 2006
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 ?

Problem Using SQL Server Mobile 2005 With Windows Mobile 5 Application
Mar 23, 2006Hello,
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.

Cannot Build SQL Server Mobile Solution For Windows Mobile 5
May 18, 2006Using 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?
SQL Server Mobile Tutorial And Getting Proper Mobile DB Installation
Apr 24, 2006Hi folks, I'm new to Windows Mobile progamming, and new to this forum. Apologies in advance if I'm asking a boneheaded question, but I've done searches and can't find anything directly applicable to my problem.
I'm currently walking through the published MS tutorial in setting up an SQL Server 2005 Mobile application that subscribes to a publication on SQL Server 2005 to exchange information.
I've gotten almost all the way through... successfully set up the server components, creating the publication, etc. On the mobile side, I've been able run the cab files to install the SQL Mobile components and to create the project, add the reference to the dll, and instantiate an engine object. It compiles.
The step in the tutorial after that, though, where you specify the data source from the "data" menu, I've got a problem. When I try to use the "new connection" dialog from choosing the data connection, "MS SQL Server Mobile Edition" doesn't show up as a choice. I've tried choosing any of the other combinations, and in teh subsequent "Connection properties" section my database, SQLMobile (as in their sample) is available, but I get an error when I choose it and click OK. Clicking on "Test Connection" gives me a connection successful message.
My guess is that something about the Mobile server side components is not installed correctly on my development machine, but honestly I have no idea how to begin to fix it. Has anyone seen this problem before and know how to resolve it?
Your time and any knowledge sharing is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

Aug 10, 2007Hello Everyone,
I'm trying to connect to Desktop SQL Server 2000 from Windows mobile PC Emulator (VS 2005). I need a direct connection using connection string to SQL Server 2000 through local wireless network without IIS.
Bellow is the code that I use. After executing this code I get an error on line Conn.Open(). Error says SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
SQL is un and running, and I can log in using SA username from the desktop. Even if I chance IP for another SQL server in my connection string I still get the same error. There is no firewall of any kind running.
Dim connectionSTR As String = "Persist Security Info=False;Integrated Security=False;Server=192.168.0.202,1433;initial catalog=MyDB;user id=sa;password=;"
Dim Conn As SqlConnection
Conn = New SqlConnection(connectionSTR)
Conn.Open()
If Conn.State = ConnectionState.Open Then
MessageBox.Show("Open")
End If
About my environment: SQL Server 2000 is running on Desktop PC with Windows XP SP2. Application which I need to connect to SQL Server is in Visual Studio 2005. I execute the application in Windows Mobile PC Emulator and try to connect to SQL Server from emulator.
Your advice and help is very appreciated

Creating A Mobile Application With SQL Server Mobile - FIX
Jul 21, 2006This is a great tutorial and it's a shame one of the more important steps was missed.
In the €œCreate the snapshot user€? section you you find the steps to create the snapshot_agent account. Then in the €œCreate the snapshot folder€? section you find the share and folder permissions. However, at no point do the instructions advise you about adding the snapshot_agent to the SQL Server Logins. The result is that agent cannot perform the initial snapshot but you won't find this out until 50 steps later after Step 10 in the section €œCreate a new subscription".
To get back on track, openthe Object Explorer's Security section and add the snapshot_agent to your logins. Then using the "User Mappings", set an appropriate level for the SQLMobile database role. Once completed you then need to run the agent.
Right-click the SQLMobile publication you created and select "View Snapshot Agent status". From that dialog you can select "Start" to run the agent. When it completes, you can return to the tutorial section "Create a new subscription" and continue with the tutorial.

SQL MOBILE Connection Problem!!!
Jul 2, 2007Hi all!!
As I said in a previous post, I am replicating information from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Mobile in my iPaq.
The test scenario was that I connect my iPaq to my laptop with Active Sync and to the server via LAN. This is working just fine.
My problem is that I need to replicate information from home to the server, but with a modem connection. I have my user and password, and if I access the mobile agent URL from the laptop via modem, it works fine (http://server/SqlMobile/sqlcesa30.dll), but I can't access from my iPaq.
Is there any additional config to the server or the iPaq that needs to be done so I can see the Mobile Agent?
Thanks in advance!

SQL Mobile 2005 Replication - SQL Mobile DLL Could Not Be Loaded - Error 28559
Jun 15, 2006I am migrating a pocket PC application from VS 2003 to VS 2005 and a few weeks ago I hit the following problem when replicating
A SQL Mobile DLL could not be loaded. Reinstall SQL Mobile. [ DLL Name=sqlceca30.dll]
Scanning forums for help I saw that other people had had this problem and one
http://www.eggheadcafe.com/aspnet_answers/NETFrameworkCompactFramework/Feb2006/post25814466.asp
suggested that this problem could be circumvented by getting the replication object early and then continuously using the same object for subsequent replications.
I did this and it works a lot better now but ever so often I get another error which is
Native Error 28559 SQL Mobile encountered problems when opening the database
My only option at this point is to stop and start the application which cures the problem.

Error #25123 A Sql Mobile DLL Could Not Be Loaded. Reinstall SQL Mobile.
Sep 8, 2007I receive error 25123 on my PPC (audiovox 6600) in a reproducable way (usually) with .net 2.0 application that is using SQL CE that I wrote:
Open the application
Connect to the database
Close the applicaton
Re-Open the application
Connect to the database <-- Error occurs
I will also receive the error if my application isn't the first application launched (or very close to the first to launch).
I don't believe it's a memory issue as according to the memory manager I have plenty of memory:
At boot up only start screen items loaded: 18.46 Used 49.89 Free
Launch Resco File Explorer to click EXE: 19.18 Used 49.18 Free
Launch my application (no DB connection): 23.64 Used 44.71 Free
Connect to the DB and do select count(*) from a table with 0 rows: 26.27 Used 42.08 Free
Close the application (this.Close() on the form: 19.38 Used 48.97 Free
Relaunch App and connect to DB receive error: around 38 Used around 30 free
I was unable to reproduce the issue right now while typing this message, the last sets of numbers are from memory, and include other applications that are currently running.
The only way I have to get SQL CE to load again is to soft reset the PPC. If the application is able to connect to SQL CE at least once it is fine up till I close it and re-open the application. So it either connects and runs great, or it can't connect at all.
Any help in resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.

ReadWriteDeleteMessageFile FAILURE With SQL Server Mobile Server Agent Diagnostics
Jul 31, 2007Hi all.
Is there a difference with sql replication between sql server 2005 64bit and sql server 2005 32bit?
Both are on a Windows 2003 server. One is 32 bit and the other one is 64 bit.
The first time I set up sql replication (test environment), it was on a 32 bit sql server. This worked fine.
The second time I wanted to set up replication (live environment), it was on a 64 bit sql server. This didn't worked fine.
I can't call the sqlcesa30.dll file on the 64bit server with IIS. So I called the dll via a remote IIS server.
This worked but gave me the following error when calling the following URL:

SQL Server Tables Into SQL Mobile
Mar 4, 2007Hi all,
My apologies in advance for maybe appearing a little novice-like in my questions. That's because I am.
I have a large table containing some 8500 records, migrated from Access to MS SQL. I can access it through VS.NET without any trouble. I've partially built an app for my WM5 device using VS.NET, with nice forms, etc., and want to be able to view the records present in the large table via the forms.
So I need to know the easiest way to acces the data via my WM5 device, using forms designed in VS.NET. I have SQL Server and SQL Server Mobile - can I move the data from the SQL Server tables into a new SQL Server Mobile database?
Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Export SQL Server 2k/2k5 DB To SQL Mobile 2k5?
Dec 18, 2006Hi,
I'm currently doing a application for a smartphone which requires me to replicate the desktop version of a db which was running on SQL 2k. From my reading, it seems that i will need SQL server 2k5 Management studio in order to convert my desktop db to the SQL Mobile version? Is there any other way? For now, i only have the 2k5's management studio express which came with my VS 2k5. I only notice that the express version doesn't allow me to create a SQL mobile db.
Thanks!!
