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
Hi,
I have a complicated sql server mobile database (.sdf) and need to create a SQL SERVER database with the same tables. How can I do it without scripting the whole thing? I thought of using the views.information_schema databases, but it is still a lot of coding.
thanks
Hi,
Does anybody know how to upgrade a SqlCE db(.sdf) file from Version 3.1 to 3.5?
And a URL where can I get related Info.
In the readme of v3.5, it mentions that if I use 3.5 to open a database file created by previous version, the version number will be updated to 3.5, so I opened it in c# and run some select statement, then I run the verify() command and here's what's returned:
Source : d:Dataceguardian.sdf
Destination : n/a
Verifying - verMajor: 3, verMinor: 0, verBuild: 5300, verPoint: 0
Time - 2007-21-05 14:42:39.847
it seems the database file did not get updated to v3.5. Unless it's returning original info.
Then, I take this same database file and try to access from another project with v3.5 runtime + Enterprise Library, and it generates this error:
An exception of type 'System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeException' occurred in guardian.exe but was not handled in user code
Additional information: You are trying to access an older version of a SQL Server Compact Edition database. If this is a SQL Server CE 1.0 or 2.0 database, run upgrade.exe. If this is a SQL Server Compact Edition 3.0 or later database, run Compact / Repair. [ Db version = 3505053,Requested version = 3004180,File name = D:Dataceguardian.sdf ]
I am confused. Shouldn't 3.5 opens it up regardless of what version it is?

I am have set up a Smart Device €“ Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC €“ Device application.
I need to connect to & populate a listview control but:-
I am having trouble connecting to my Microsoft SQL Server (sqlClient) database.

hi all
in the wireless application, if i use RDA to pull data from SQL server 2005 database.
do i need to code a exernal class for the PDA to connect to the sql server.
RDA pull data trough what medium, wireless or active sync, if i wanna pull data through wireless what should i do.
By the way, how to i create a database in PDA by using sql server mobile?
Copy mssqlsystemresource.mdf of a recently upgraded server and paste to an old server have same effect of upgrading via .exe installation?
My idea is to save time and administrative efforts in upgrades (Service Packs and/or Cumulative Updates) using this method.
According to BOL:
The Resource database makes upgrading to a new version of SQL Server an easier and faster procedure. In earlier versions of SQL Server, upgrading required dropping and creating system objects. Because the Resource database file contains all system objects, an upgrade is now accomplished simply by copying the single Resource database file to the local server.
Hi,
I need to do a Select and after a Insert during a Transaction. But when i want to commit this transaction i've the following error message :
The transaction can not be committed if there are any opened cursors in the scope of this transaction. Make sure all data readers / result sets are explicitly closed before committing the change.
I don't understand this error message. How can i close my cursors.
Before my Insert i'm closing my SqlCeDataReader and i dispose it. My SqlCeCommand are also closed and dispose.
Do you have any ID?
Thanks.
I'm attempting to use RDA to synchronize a pocket pc emulator with SQL Server 2005 database by following tutorial http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa454892.aspx, which uses AdvWorksMobile database that comes with SQL Server 2005.
When get to testing of "To test application features " ( step 4 of the merge replication setup lab ), I am receiving SQLCe Exception errors.
ORIGINALLY, I was able to deploy an application and view the local database on the emulator, but once I clicked "InitSinc" button, I received an error.
"Failure to connect to SQL Server with provided connection information. SQL Server does not" exist, access is denied because the SQL user is not a valid user on the SQL Server, or the password is incorrect.
Found this error listed in Server Agent Errors log http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms172357.aspx, but it wasn't very helpful since it doesn't provide any suggestions on fixing the problems.
I am brand new to SQL CE Server , mobile programming and .NET framework in general so please bare with me
All the connections / security settings, etc that were set up were taken from a tutorial so I am not sure what SQLCeServer is complaining about. Reading up on the error on the web didn't help, it all pointed to making sure that the snapshot folder had correct permissions set up. I verified that MACHINENAMEUISR_MACHINENAME guest user had Read rights to the database so I don't think that piece is the problem. Otherwise ,Merge publication has been setup in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio by following the tutorial.
I am trying to run this sync on my home pc so there should be no issues with any user permissions
I have IIS installed
I did NOT have SQL Server Agent running in management studio at this time
I am trying to run this tutorial on an XP machine, which is my regular home PC so I dont think there are any special networking settings to consider
I am able to hit http://localhost/AdvWorksMobile/sqlcesa30.dll from my pc OK, but when I try to hit it from a cradled emulator ( after replacing "localhost" with "MACHINE_NAME" ), Internet Explorer on the emulator gives me a "Cannot Connect With Current Settings" error message. This part wasn't part of tutorial but decided so not sure if I am supposed to be able to hit it from my emulator..so I am not sure if the fact that I can't hit it is related to the problem.
AFTER STARTING SQL SERVER AGENTin Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, I killed the application, and after relaunching it, it hits "The Specified table does not exist [Vendor]" error. This time it doesn't even launch first - that is I dont even get to pressing "InitSinc" button. Debugger is showing that this error is hit on the following line in AdvWorksMobile.AddWorksDataSetTableAdapters
int returnValue = this.Adapter.Fill(dataTable);
I am not sure why the errors changed on me after starting SQL Server Agent.
What can I do to fix this connection problem?
Thank you so much for your help!

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
How to use the SQLCE Query Analyser in Windows Mobile 5.0?
I have MSPDB.SDF database in WM 5.0. I can't open this sdf file.
Please update me,
what are the softwares i have to install in my WM 5.0 device?
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, 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!

Hello!
I'm trying to connect a sql ce database from a PPC with WM 2003 to a sql server 2005 database.
I discover the class SqlCeRemoteDataAccess, so i've been trying, unsucessfuly, to get things working.
I googled a lot, i read Ms Articles from MSDN, i read some posts here, but can't find solution for my problem. As you can see in my code, i already tryed different aprroaches, differente connections strings, with "provider", without "provider", with "sspi", without "sspi", you name it...
I configure the sql server agent like i read in msdn, and he's working well, i'm able to see the message. ("Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition Server Agent" when i open the url).
The sql database credentials are correct, i already check that.
I did everything i knew and i read, unfortunately i still can't manage to find a solution for an error message:
"SQL Server Mobile encountered problems when opening the database." The native error is 28559
That's an Exception error message, that appears to me.
Can somebody help me?
Thank you!

hi,
I am developing a PDA project using Windows CE 6.0
I develop an Application using VS 2008 and create a database using SQLCE 3.5 in VS2008.
I run the Application in Mobile 6 Emulator, it is correctly.
When I integrate it in My Custom OS, there is an error to connect the SQLCE 3.5 Database.
My CE 6.0 customed OS included: All 'File System and Data Store' Components.
I also Include the 7 DLL: in C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server Compact EditionV3.5Deviceswce500armv4i
-sqlcecompact35.dll
-sqlceme35.dll
-sqlceqp35.dll
-sqlceca35.dll
-sqlceer35EN.dll
-sqlceoledb35.dll
-sqlcese35.dll
Also, I include the three CAB Files:
- sqlce.dev.ENU.wce5.armv4i.CAB
- sqlce.wce5.armv4i.CAB
- sqlce.repl.wce5.armv4i.CAB
I first Run the three CAB files in My PDA Emulator.
Then I run the Application located: Windows
All the files I imported in my OS is located in Windows
When I run my Application, there is an error prompted:
"The Database file cannot be found. Check the Path to the database.
[Data Source = WindowsTest.sdf]"
I try to use The Query Analyer to open the DB:WindowsTest.sdf,
The Error Message shown:
Error: 0x8004005 E_FAIL
Native Error: (25046)
Interface definning error: IID_IDBInitialize
Param 0 : 0
Param 1 : 0
Param 2 : 0
Param 3 : WindowsTest.sdf
I, then, create a database in my PDA Emulator using isqlw35.exe (Query Analyzer)
and located in WindowsTest2.sdf.
After create the Test2.sdf, I use the Query Analyzer to re-open it. It is correct with no error!
I use my Application to open the WindowsTest2.sdf, and it is correctly too!
Therefore, the problem would be: The SQLCE 3.5 database I created in VS2008, named 'Test.sdf'
cannot be opened in my customed ce 6.0 OS. However the database I created in my customed OS 6.0
emulator ,named 'Test2.sdf' works fine.
Is there any difference or what's wrong when I create a SQLCE 3.5 database and integrated in Windows CE 6.0???
Hi, there;
I got a SqlCe2.0 database here called JOB.sdf, size is 260K. When I tried to compact it, it took very long and that JOB.sdf.tmp was created with 27.7M!!!, I can still open table in the database, but I found that there is some invalid data (unreadable square boxes). It looks like database was corrupted. My application gave error:
Error Code: 80040E14
Message : The OLE DB Execute method failed. The SQL statement is not valid. [,,,SQL statement,,]
Minor Err.: 28560
Source : Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Windows CE Edition

Note: " " is displayed as "SOHSOH....." with black background.
Apart from compacting database, is there manual job or tool we can do/use to fix a corrupted database caused by power failure? (e.x: all data saved successfully before power failure)?
Thanks
Hi; there;
I know that power failure can corrupt a sdf file (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/296076/en-us)
Apart from that, is there any other reason can corrupt a SqlCe2.0 sdf database?
Another problem I found in my sdf database is corrupted record. There is a record in the database has all field with "null" value. When I tried to compact this database in "Query Analyzer", it has cursor there forever. I can still open the database and view those record. I tried to delete this record by saying "delete from job where ... is null", that database is fixed!!! I can compact that dataase again.
Note: I have transaction when writing data to database and my application has quite a lot database corruption issue which is nightware now.
Does anybody know what causes this and how to avoid this problem?
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?
There are any import/export utilities for SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition database? Which edition of SQL Server 2005 can do this?
Or we must use publication/subscription to transfer data to the mobile database?
Thank you for your help!
how do I transform sql server mobile edition database to sqlce2.0 format?
I have a database with sql server mobile edtion , and I want to depoly application to ppc with .net cf1.0, so , I must change format from sqlce3.0 to sqlce2.0.

Hi,
After creating mobile database into sql server 2005 management studio, how to insert the records from sql server 2005 management studio into and mobile database from excel file?
Thank you
Prashant
Hi,
I was wondering if someone could help me as this is a bit of a puzzle.
I have created a database using a password, the create table scripts are executed successfully using the connection string however when I try and use the same connection string to insert some data into the database an error is produced, with the following message 'The specified password does not match the database password'.
I have opened the database using the SQL Server 2005 Management Studio and provide the password and I can access the database without a problem.
When the connection object is first instantiated all the Connection String property, the connStr variable and the modifiedConnStr are all correct (by this I mean that the data source and the password are present). However when the connection object is accessed again the Connection String property and the connStr variable are both set incorrectly (by this I mean that the password= section of the string is missing) however the modifiedConnStr is set correctly (by this I mean that the password= section is present in the string).
The connection object does not get set in between creating and accessing the connection object.
I have resorted to using no password, however I really need to be able to use a password.
Here is a copy of the connection string I am using (Copied directly from the quick watch window):
"Data Source = '\Program Files\Application\DataBase\MyDatabase.sdf'; password="Pa55word";"
I am sorry this a little long winded however I would like to provide as much information as possible. I hope someone can help me with this problem.
Thank you for reading.

Greetings,
I've searched through this and other SQLCE newsgroups, and it would
appear that whenever this question is asked, it is deflected or left
unanswered. I'll try again:
Is there any way to create SQLCE database tables from an XML schema
(preferably in .NET with C#)? Of course this can be done with the .NET
DataSet, but there doesn't appear to be any way to get the DataSet to
create the tables in the SQLCE database (although the reverse can be
done). I won't go into long explanations of the application, but it
does not ever have any connection to an SQL server, and we don't want
to create the SQLCE tables in code. We *only* want to create them
using an XML schema. Is the only option writing our own code to do this?
TIA
I have code that creates a SQL Mobile database on a server. It has worked in many environments, but I have one customer experiencing an issue. It will not create the database on their server. I would appreciate any thoughts.
The exact error message I get is "the operating system does not support encryption"
I am getting it on the line: SQLCeEngine.CreateDatabase()
Here is the code:
SQLCeEngine = New SqlServerCe.SqlCeEngine(SQLConnectionString)
ReturnValue += ": Declare new"
SQLCeEngine.CreateDatabase()
ReturnValue += ":Create"
SQLCeEngine.Dispose()
ReturnValue += ": Dispose"
Here is the error message I get from our application- the part after Err: is the actual error message from the system:
Data Source = D:EVADATAWebServiceDownloads est;Password=test;Persist Security Info=False;: Declare new:Error!:Err:The operating system does not support encryption.
When I go into SQL Express and create a SQL Mobile database using it, it can be created. So, I have to believe it can be done on the server, but I don't know why the code can not do it.
(e.g. FileConnect Object ExplorerServer Type: SQL Server compact Edition and create a database). The database is successfully created if I do it manually this way. It even creates fine if I select the 'Encrypt' button.
The machine is a Windows 2000 Server sp4 version 5.00.2195
SQL 2000 is installed
SQL 2005 Express is installed
I ran the SQLServerCE31-EN.msi file and it is installed. (I have also re-run and repaired it)
I have also copied over the newest version of our code from scratch.

Hi,
I'm trying to get my first replication going, and I have set up a database successfully, along with merge replication, however when I attempt to create the first subscriber, I get a permissions issue, regardless of what I do. In the SQLCESA30.LOG file, I get the following entries:

I posted the initial thread under the "Replication" forum, but am including this 'pointer' post here due to a lack of replies there, and the relevance of this thread to this forum. Please see http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=193693&SiteID=1 for more details.
