Updating Database From A Smart Device Application
May 24, 2007
i m developping a smart device application with vb.net
i m using the following code from:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa454892.aspx
(i still working on the first exercice and i'm following it step by step)
everything is working properly
i was advised to add this code when closing the form1
Try
Me.ContactsBindingSource1.EndEdit()
Me.ContactsTableAdapter1.Update(Me.TestDataSet1.contacts)
MsgBox("Update successful")
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox("Update failed")
End Try
the problem is:
should this code update the database created with sql server 2005
if yes why isnt it working here
and should the database be replicated on my emulator before it is updated
(in this exercice i do not have a database storerd in the emulator)
plz i urgently need the answer

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.

Hi
I have created a Smart device application for Windows CE 5.0 device using Visual studio 2005 and i have added the smart cab project to the solution. When I add project out in teh appllication folder, the detected dependencies are not included. Instead dependent files appear with red circle in solution explorer.
My project uses .Net Framework 2.0 and SQL Server mobile 2005 and SQL Server mobile database file and some symbol files
I need included all of them in my cab project and when user clicks on it (in the device) it should install all of them.
Let me know why detected dependencies are not included in the Cab project and how can get all the above mentioned things to be installed along with my program
Regards

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

I have both vs2005 and vs2008 installed. I'm working with a .Net Compact Framework 3.5 Smart Device Project.
If I refrence the System.Data.SqlClient.dll (Version 3.0.3600.0 Runtime v2.0.50727)
C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server Compact Editionv3.5DevicesClientSystem.Data.SqlClient.dll
When I deploy the application I get an error ".Net Compact Framework v2.0 could not be found Please install it and run the setup again"

We tested this on a PC without vs2005 and it seems to work fine.
Any suggestions?

I'm a bit stuck with this one... hope someone can help.
I'm trying to develop an application that will run on a pocket PC with Windows CE 4.2
I'm using .Net 2003 and the application is in VB.Net.
I can run the application on the pocket pc fine (ie. form paints, buttons work) , until I need to connect to Sql DB on the server.
When I try to create a connection object (Dim dbconnection As New SqlClient.SqlConnection)
I get an error stating .. "This application (test.exe) requires a newer version of .Net Compact Framework than the one installed on the device" .... "could not load System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection from assembly System.Data.SqlClient Version=1.0.5000.0"
The version that it is looking for is. 1.0.5000.0 . The VS2003 is using this version.
I've downloaded the compact framework v1. sp3 , ran all the cabs on the Win CE device ... it looked that it installed fine.... but the problem still exists.
Help Please..

Hello geniuses
First of all I would like to announce that this is my first time I post here.. However, I'm pretty sure that I'm in the best place to ask what I want. To cut the story short, I'm querying SQL database on a remote machine and having the result saved (mapped) to another table on another database on the same remote machine. The thing is the destination table was empty before the query was run the first time. I have been searching for some smart way so that when I modify the source tables that my query is based on, it doesn't affect except the modified rows. In other words, it should be like if the row is already there, do nothing. otherwise, it updates the existig record. else, it's a new record and it's inserted. I think what i need will include some coding for sure, yes? I don't know if i'm clear about the requirement or not though! but I know that you are experts and can direct me. Waiting for your valuable replies.

I'm writing a Windows application (Visual Studio 2005, c#) utilizing a local SQLExpress database. It consists of about 10 tables and I've created about 15 Stored Procedures to address various functions... I can run the update Stored Procedures interactively within the designer and the data tables update as designed. However, if I run the update Stored Procedures from within my windows application is where they fail. I get no error messages, if I return a rowcount variable from the Stored Procedure it tells me that one row was updated (SELECT @RtnVal == @@rowcount)... but when I open the subject table in the designer, there is no new data.
My update queries address both insert and update functions, so if it is new row of data, it performs the insert action, otherwise it updates an existing row.
I can query the data using my stored procedures to load default values into my windows form, I can search and find client records to display in the form... I just can't update records. I'm of the opinion that it is a rights issue, but I can't find any resources that address user access accounts with SQLExpress and windows apps. The current connection string for my local database is set for Integrated Security = true; User Instance = true
I've tried two approaches... one utilizes my stored procedure....
bool bSave;
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(KadaDesk.Properties.Settings.Default.dbKadaConnectionString.ToString());
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SavAuthTesterData", conn);
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
cmd.Parameters.Add("@CtrId", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 20).Value = TestCenterID.ToString();
cmd.Parameters.Add("@AT_Id", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 15).Value = GnuAuthTesterId.ToString();
cmd.Parameters.Add("@AT_Name", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 50).Value = GnuAuthTesterName.ToString();
cmd.Parameters.Add("@AT_Pwd", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 15).Value = GnuAuthTesterPwd.ToString();
cmd.Parameters.Add("@Maint", SqlDbType.NChar, 1).Value = GnuAuthTesterStatus.ToString();
cmd.Parameters.Add("@ModBy", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 15).Value = sAuthTester.ToString();
try
{
conn.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
bSave = true;
}
Then I tried a direct insert...
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(KadaDesk.Properties.Settings.Default.dbKadaConnectionString.ToString());
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
SqlTransaction myTrans;
conn.Open();
cmd.Connection = conn;
myTrans = conn.BeginTransaction();
cmd.Transaction = myTrans;
string disDte = DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString();
try
{
string sCmdText = "INSERT INTO Tester (CenterId, AuthTesterId, AuthTesterName, AuthTesterPwd, "
+ "CreateDte, Maint, ModBy) "
+ "VALUES ('" + TestCenterID.ToString() + "','"
+ GnuAuthTesterId.ToString() + "','"
+ GnuAuthTesterName.ToString() + "','"
+ GnuAuthTesterPwd.ToString() + "','"
+ disDte.ToString() + "','"
+ GnuAuthTesterStatus.ToString() + "','"
+ sAuthTester.ToString() + "')";
cmd.CommandText = sCmdText;
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
myTrans.Commit();
bSave = true;
}
Both fail... which points to the only common point in both approaches, the connection string and user rights... but I can't find any place to address user accounts or configurations for windows apps.
Thanks for whatever help you can offer...

I want to update data on the device which has a sql server mobile database.
the main database is sql server.
I use web services to enable the mobile application to access the server.
Can anyone recommend a way of updating the data on the device without using replication? I basically want to read a dataset from the server via webservice and put this in to local db - but not row by row as too many records.

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!

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,

Hi,
I have an application using SQL server 7.0 and have it installed at numerous sites. At the moment when an upgrade is carried out it generally includes changes to the database schema, at the moment these changes are tracked by saving lots of change scripts and running them as batch files. This process of update is quite time consuming and any errors that occur are not obvious so the upgrades must be carried out by our own staff. I was wondering two things:-
1) How do people manage this kind of problem.
2) Are there any tools that help to cope with this problem.

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?

I have a database in development in SQL Server 6.5 that needs to be occasionally deleted and rebuilt from a script when table structures are changed. I found that when very complex queries were performed, the 2 MB default size of tempdb filled up and returned errors, so I went to the Enterprise Manager to expand tempdb, learned that I had to first expand a device to expand tempdb into, and foolishly chose to expand tempdb into the same device space used by my application, instead of into one of the system databases. Now when I try to delete the device in preparation for its rebuild, the Enterprise Manager responds with an error message saying the device can't be deleted because it contains system tables. Is there any way to get the expanded portion of tempdb out of my application device so that the device can be deleted, without reinstalling SQL Server?

Hello,
I have two databases, Database1 and Database2 both have same set of tables.
Database1 has a saperate Log file, i.e. it uses different Device for its Logs.
There are two processes running using this database,
Process 1 will keep on dumping records in to database1. Here it uses Rollback and commit operations.
Process2 will take a backup of Database1 after every minute to Datavase2.
What is hapening is, after some time later, if i check the Space availabe for data then Database1 will have used 5 to 10 times more space that database2.
Can any body tell me why this is hapening. because for the same data both databases uses different size of space.
ThanX

When running Enterprise Manager from my desktop pc to try and expand a database device I am unable to do so. The size shown is negative, and the max size is the same, with the 'Change Now' box greyed out.
When I log on directly onto the server I can easily expand the db device. There is lots of free space on the server.
Our set up is quite small with four NT workstations and two NT servers with SQL Server 6.5 on them. All these six machines are in the same workgroup. The workstations are on a separate floor to the servers, which are in the computer room. I have a feeling this is a networking issue. Can anyone suggest why this is happening?

My question has to do with the ability to recover a suspect database in the event that the transaction log device file becomes corrupt or is deleted.
Specifically, consider the case where a user database has it's data device on one hard disk and the log device file on a 2nd hard disk. The database is set to truncate log on checkpoint.
If the disk fails on which the log device file resides, the user database will be marked as suspect. Assume this disk is replaced and rebuilt from a tape backup, including the log device file (which was backed up to tape during off hours.)
Will SQL Server have any problems with this? Will database recovery have any problems with this (assuming the restored transaction log was empty)? Any other issues?
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!

Hi Everybody:
I'm writting an standar application in c# that comunnicates with a sql server 2005 in a mobile device. The mobile device is connected to the pc with an usb wire. In the sample I've made, I've inserted in the form main a datagridview. I go on the wizard to select the data source. I choose a Microsoft SQL Server Mobile Edition data connection. The data source is tge activesync mobile device. I create a new database in the mobile device called test.sdf. The wizard has a button to check the conecttion and it rules. A new connection appears in the server explorer. I add rows through a query. I build the solution and no problem, but when I start the debug session an sqlceexception occurs: Data Source not found. In the database connection that the project has created the connection string is: Data Source ="Mobile Device est.sdf";
I didn't write any code. I just went on the wizards. All the code has been inserted by visual studio 2005.
Any idea?

Basically I've been using Visual Studio 2005 for a few weeks now moving a Pocket PC project from 2003 to 2005. When I hit the Start Debugging Button every time until today the project would rebuild and deploy to my pocket PC allowing me to debug etc but now I get
The remote connection to the device has been lost.
Please verify the device conection and restart debugging.
I used to get this problem in VS2003 sometimes and just like the numerous posts on different sites that I've looked at the problem eventually goes away and I'm none the wiser. One guy said that he found that if he went to bed the problem was resolved when he came back!
My PDA running Windows 2003 2nd Edition is directly connected to my PC via a USB port. I've rebooted my PC and done a soft reset on the PDA but it didn't help. I'm using ActiveSync 4.1.
Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?

Hello,
Every hour I make a backup of the log files of a database to a backup device. Each backup is appended to this backup device.
Now to restore at a point in time I normally use the following script;
RESTORE DATABASE mcs_carolus
FROM disk='E:sqlserver_databasesmcs_carolus_data.bak'
WITH REPLACE,
NORECOVERY
go
RESTORE LOG MCS_CAROLUS
FROM disk='E:sqlserver_databasesmcs_carolus_log.bak'
WITH FILE = 1, NORECOVERY
GO
RESTORE LOG MCS_CAROLUS
FROM disk='E:sqlserver_databasesmcs_carolus_log.bak'
WITH FILE = 2, NORECOVERY
GO
RESTORE LOG MCS_CAROLUS
FROM disk='E:sqlserver_databasesmcs_carolus_log.bak'
WITH FILE = 3, NORECOVERY
GO
RESTORE LOG MCS_CAROLUS
FROM disk='E:sqlserver_databasesmcs_carolus_log.bak'
WITH FILE = 4, NORECOVERY
GO
RESTORE LOG MCS_CAROLUS
FROM disk='E:sqlserver_databasesmcs_carolus_log.bak'
WITH FILE = 5, NORECOVERY
GO
RESTORE LOG MCS_CAROLUS
FROM disk='E:sqlserver_databasesmcs_carolus_log.bak'
WITH FILE = 6, NORECOVERY
GO
RESTORE LOG MCS_CAROLUS
FROM disk='E:sqlserver_databasesmcs_carolus_log.bak'
WITH FILE = 7, RECOVERY,STOPAT = 'Nov 25, 2004 11:59 AM'
Is there a simpler way of restoring without going through this long process.

I ran into a problem today where I had to pull a backup file from an older tape. The file was originally is a backup that was stored in a device like :
EXEC sp_addumpdevice
'disk', --type
'c2000_BackupDevice', --logical name
'\UNCPathackupFile.bak' --physical location
I put the file from the tape on a File Server and then tried to create a new backup device pointing to the file. That's easy enough, but when I try to restore from it I get an device error saying it's offline.
How can I get that device attached to my server and then extract the backup files stored inside it?
Please advise b/c this is an interesting problem I hadn't anticipated and it argues that I should change my backup strategy .
Thanks for any advice/experience you can provide,

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?
