Hi,
We have just installed visual studio 2008 for a windows mobile application development. This application requires a database also. VS 2008 installs sql server 2005 express edition and the sql server compact edition 3.5. We installed sql server management studio but this is for the express edition only. Please let us know how to use a similar tool for compact edition, we could not find any suitable for the same.
Regards
Hi

Hello,
we've got a SQL Server 2005 which replicates with an SQL Server Compact 3.5. Every 10 to 20 synchronisations we're getting the error mentioned above. A Soft reset of the device helps to make the synchronization working again.
Why is this error happening and how can we resolve this?
BTW, we've also running system that replicates with an SQL Server Compact 3.0 without having this problems.
Thanks,
Markus

I have a question about a problem that I cannot seem to tackle. I have installed the following programs on Windows Vista:
- SQL Server 2005
- Visual Studio 2008
- SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5
- SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5 Server Tools
I want to do the following:
1. I want to create a SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5 database in the SQL Server Management Studio
2. I want my SQL Express server in SQL Server 2005 to be a distributor and publisher
About 1. In SQL Server Management Studio I cannot choose SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5 .
ABout 2. I tried to setup my server to be a distrubutor by running a stored procedure with the following name: sp_adddistributor. I get the following error: This edition of SQL Server cannot act as a Publisher or Distributor for replication.
Does anyone have a solution to both problems.
Trying to learn how to use Sql Server CE, Tutorial says to open server explorer, add connection, new connection, select data source as .net sql ce (words to that effect). On my visual studio, it ain't there and I can't figure out how to get it there. I have uninstall all of the Sql Ce stuff and reinstalled it. So I'm missing some key link. What are the magic incantations to get to first base?

SQL Server 2005 SP2 Replication
I am having problems installing the SQL Server Compact Server Tools on my
Vista laptop to allow me to connect my Mobile Device running SQL Server
Compact directly to my SQL Server 2005 database through IIS.
I have done this successfully with an XP machine so I'm not sure if it is
Vista problem or not.
I have installed SQL Server 2005 SP2. When I try to install the replication
server tools (Sqlce30setupen.msi), in "System Configuration Check" window I get a failure on "SQL Server requirement" that says: "You must first install the Replication Components for SQL Server 2000 SP 3a
or higher or the SQL Server 2005 Replication Components" and the client components are full instaled in my computer.
I need help for detect and correct the problem.
Sincereously,

Hello,
I just installed SQL Server Compact Edition, since I am considering using it instead of SQL Server Express for a local database in my application. The documentation mentioned that I could use SQL Server Management Studio Express to connect to the Compact Edition and create and manipulate databases.
To try to connect, I run Management Studio and bring up the "Connect to Server" dialog. Unfortunately, the pull-down list of "Server name"s does not include the SQL Server Compact Edition server. I do not know how to type in the server name manually, so I cannot connect.
To install Compact Edition, I downloaded it and ran "SQLServerCE31-EN.msi". This installed, and I assume registered, a number of DLLs in "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server Compact Editionv3.1".
Is there perhaps an additional step that I left out to complete the installation?
Might I need an upgrade to some other components? My Management Studio Version is:
- Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express 9.00.2047.00
I would appreciate any help you can provide.
Thank you,
WTW
Hi all
Which tool can I use for structure editing of SQL Server Compact 3.5 databases? I'm installed SQL Server Compact 3.5. I have SQL Server Management Studio Express which was installed with SQL Server 2005 Express. Unfortunately this SSMS can create and open only 3.1 databases.
Does Sql Server Compact Edition 3.5 support RDA synchronization with Sql Server 2000 database?
Hi,
I am using SQL Express 2005 server and sql compact edition for my PDA. For synchronization, which SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition Server Tools installation package do I use?
Is it Sqlce30setupen.msi or sql2kensp4.msi or sql2kensp3a.msi? I know for sql server 2005 its Sqlce30setupen.msi. Is it the same for the SQL Express 2005?
Thanks
Hi,
I am very new to SQL Compact. I am trying to create one database which can work on the desktop application and also on a pda application. I want to create the database but I am unable to start without Management Studio. Can you guide me to the right tools so that I can create database, view it and manage it use something like Management Studio Express.
Also one more question is if my database needs to be at both places on the desktop and on pda how can i synchronise them. PDA will take using c# application data from RFID scans and then i need to sync that database on the desktop so that reports and other info can be generated from the desktop c# application. How to do this?
Please can you guide me to any webcasts or labs so i can clarify my doubts about the design.

Hi,
We are currently having a problem with a client running Vista business for a mobile application that uses SQLCE RDA with the Web Synchronization on IIS7.
I have run through the Configure Web Synchronization Wizard and it doesn't create a virtual directory. I manually create the virtual dir and point it to the new folder the Configure Web Synchronization Wizard created.
Browsing to the url "http://localhost/sqlce/sqlcesa30.dll" gives a valid test string.
Here is the ?diag response...

When a Windows Mobile or Pocket PC device tries to do a ServerExecute or Push or Pull it gets this error message with SQLOLEDB ...
HResult = -2147467259
Message = " [ 600 ]"
NativeError = 29022
numericErrorParameters = {600,0,0}
Source = "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition"
Which roughly translates to from the header file ...
#define SSCE_M_INCORRECTPROVIDERVERSION 29022 // The version of the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server is not correct. Install MDAC 2.8 or later. [,,,Version,,]
When a Windows Mobile or Pocket PC device tries to do a ServerExecute
or Push or Pull it gets this error message with SQLNCLI ...
HResult = -2147467259
Message = " [ 9 ]"
NativeError = 29022
numericErrorParameters = {9,0,0}
Source = "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition"
A very similar error.
From this it seems that both SQLCE 2 and 3 seem to want MDAC 2.8+ drivers. The drivers installed with Vista for SQL Native client seem to be versioned 6.0.* and the required versioning would seem to need to be in line with MDAC 2.8.
Are there installable drivers to bump the versioning of SQLNCLI or SQLOLEDB upto MDAC 2.8+ levels?
Or is there an alternative that will make it possible to run SQLCE RDA apps with Vista as the SQLCE server (i.e. sqlcesa30.dll)?
Cheers,
Jonathan
I am writing an application that is designed for the desktop, or small group (3 or less) desktops. The application is being deployed using the Cassini web server as a complete "embedded" solution. I wanted to use SQL Server Compact because of its small footprint and because of the synchronization capabilities with SQLServer. Also, it is very easy to deploy vs. SQL Server Express. The idea behind this APP is that someone might use it locally and then decide to subscribe to the service and then connect the same application to a web services application.
That being said, and with knowledge of Microsoft's stance on SQL Compact under ASP.NET, I have most everything working and it works great except for one thing. When I add a SQLDataSource to the page and set the connection string to my file and the DataProvider to System.Data.SqlServerCe and then bind a data grid to the SQLDataSource, it runs fine on my development machine, but when I deploy to my clean test machine, I get an error when the page loads saying:
Unable to find the requested .Net Framework Data Provider. It may not be installed.
I can create a dataset in code (in fact,in several other places I do) and it works fine. It is just the SQLDataSource(s) that are throwing this error. I have a copy of System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll in the bin folder and I have all of the compact DLL's in the bin folder as well. I can't figure out what I need to do. I also have a reference to the System.Data.SqlServerCe in the web.config file.
Can anyone help?
I want to develop an application for my company's user to use...I will use VS2005 C# for windows as development tools,
and then I will develop the pocket PC or smart Phone for same application.In the first,the database I want to use is
SQL Server 2005 Express Edition,but it's difficulity to deploy , because it's fat files ,so if I use SQL Server compact 3.5 ,means I just develop once and I can re-compile the code for user to use Pocket PC and mobile...etc...right?
Does the new SQL server Compact edition RC1 (release in Dec 2006) replace the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition Device SDK?
OR is this an additional database for specific requirements.
Currently developing against MS SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition Device SDK;; if I switch to the Compact edition; is there a migration wiarzrd or Upgrade wizard available?

I am working with Visual Studio Team System 2008. I click File, New Project, Smart Device Project. I select Windows Mobile 6 Standard SDK for the platform, and .Net Compact Framework Version 3.5 for the framework version. When I click OK, I get the following message:
---------------------------------------
The operation cannot complete. To fix this problem, first copy these instructions into a separate file and then perform these steps in the order shown:
1. Click OK on this dialog box and the "Package Load Failure" dialog box which will appear after it, and then exit Visual Studio.
2. Reinstall Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5.
3. From the command line, run devenv /resetskippkgs.
------------------------------------
I did all of that, but the message still keeps coming up. Can someone explain how I can create a new project without this message coming up? Thanks.
Hi all,
I am just starting to look into this interesting piece of technology, but am a little confused on how this works. I apologize if this has been asked earlier. My question is with this specific SQL server distribution, what is being used as the front end (to create and view your database & tables)? I read that SQL Server Compact Edition RC1 will have runtime only - How will you then get an application to point to a database via SQL compact?
I have an application that uses a SQL Server Compact 3.5 database backend. Everytime the application starts I want to zero out my database, meaning remove all records and reseed all identities. This datatbase is then filled based on a directory structure. Once this DB is filled I then send the entire database to a Windows Mobile PPC device via 802.11g WIFI. Before sending the database I first create an MD5 checksum on both the server and client sides to see if the database actually needs to be transfered. If the checksums match I will not send it as the client already has the lastest copy.
My problem is that I can never count on the database identity values starting at the same number on any particular instance of the application so the checksums are usually different. To solve this problem I need to ensure that everytime I start my server application the database (and all identifiers) will always be the same, will always be as if I just creaed it. How do I do this?!?!?!? This seems like it would be a trivial operation as I can imagine its use in multiple situations. Anyone know how to zero out the database?
Hi Guys,
Been following a video from Jim Wilson on merge replication between sql server 2005 and compact 3.5. The problem I have is that in the video, the subscriber types say SQL Server Compact, but on my 2005 server it says SQL Server Mobile. I have installed all the parts of Compact 3.5, so how do I get 2005 to use Compact and not Mobile?
Many thanks,
Millicent.
I work with a Development board with an armv4 processor for a Windows CE 6.0 application and tried to install there an SQL Server Compact. But it doesn't work. My information from Google and other sites is that the Compact edition of SQL server does not work on a Win CE 6.0 platform.
Does someone can give me to this subject further information€™s? Is there an alternative?

Im trying to install the SQL Server Compact Tools in Windows Server 2008, but the installation program won´t let me continue since it says that I must install the IIS Backward Compatibility Tools. The problem is that I can´t find where I do that.
I know that Windows Server 2008 is not listed as a supported os for the server tools, but surely I must at least be able to install them?
Is there a way to use SSIS to copy data from a SQLServer CE database to a SQL Server 2005 database?

Hello,
I am a SQL novice and I installed SQL Server Compact 3.5 and wanted SQL Server 2005 Express instead. I uninstalled the Compact version, but when I try to install Express, it still just installs the regular SQL Server 2005 Configuration tools. I have went so far as to uninstall all my Visual Studio Express apps and SDKs and even the .NET 3.5 framework, but it WILL NOT install the SQL Server 2005 Express. I am running 32-bit Windows Vista Home edition.
Please help.
Thanks.
Would it be recommended to use SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition on a web site, if that site received very few requests per month?

Hi, i've been struggling with this for nearly two days now.
I have successfully setup a publication on one of our servers but am having problems getting the the subscription to work.
I am using one SQL 2005 box which is hosting the database and acting as the publisher for this database. And one IIS/6.0 that contains the virtual directory with the sqlcesa30.dll.
As mentioned the publication went ok and a snapshot was generated with no problems and can be seen on the IIS box.
When trying to set up a subscription I get the following error:-
"Synchronizing Data (Error)
Messages
A request to send data to the computer running IIS has failed. For more information, see HRESULT.
HRESULT 0x80072EE2 (28037)
The operation could not be completed."
Basically before i post to much useless info, I think the problem is this:-
Impersonation and Access Tests
Action
Status
ErrorCode
Impersonate User
SUCCESS
0x0
ReadWriteDeleteMessageFile
FAILURE
80070003
However, everything is pretty much running with Admin privileges and I've successfully done all this before with these very same boxes! I've tried just about everything, including running the IIS stuff on a different box with the same results.
Any help with this would be gratefully received.
Cheers,
Lorenzo

Is there a way to import the table definitions and data from an Access database into the 3.5 compact edition? I have no clue where to start. I have a .Net application that uses an Access database to store data. I want to create a windows mobile application for collecting the data and syncing with the PC application. Is the 3.5 compact edition the way to go? How do I get started? I don't even know how to open the interface for the database.
I'm certainly no newbie to programming, but the SQL Server and Windows Mobile stuff is like starting all over in some ways.
