can anyone here tell me or point me on the right direction on how to connect to a SQL Server CE database using an XDA II ? i want to create a database application that is working on the XDA II that uses SQL Server CE as its database. any help will be much appreciated. thnx in advance.
anyone here in the forum ...
that is actually a developer for the XDA ?
it's for both xda and xdaX
wallaby forums are only for xda and so forth
if you want to access a db using oleDB then which type of db as in access or mssql or mysql or.....
all comes down to the connection string
of cause the sql server will have to be avaible to the xda
as in you can access it using gprs or usb or bluetooth or wifi or....
Visual Studio.Net 2003 has support for developing against the .Net compact framework (I think you might need professional or above). This has plenty of information and samples for connecting to SQLCE.
You may be able to do it with the Embedded VB using a connect string but this is not something I have even looked at!
Hope this helps,
Denver
thnx for the reply
i am currently studying VB.Net and reading on some of the white papers regarding Mobile Development but i still have yet to find an article that explains/shows how to connect to a SQL Server CE database using VB.Net running on a PocketPC Phone (particularly the O2 XDA II). i probably need to do more research about this but if anyone can provide more insights regarding this, i would really appreciate it.
Hi guys, this is my first time to the site, so hope ur all ok.
I am developing an ASP.NET site that is available for use via a normal desktop pc and/or a PDA.
In order to test this i have bought a HP iPAQ hx2700, a XDA mini and a XDA Exec.
I am using the normal (not mobile) asp.net server controls and thye work fine on a normal computer, the iPAQ and the XDA mini, but for some reason they dont work on the XDA Exec?? Anyone know any reason for this? Do i need to upgrade the software on the exec?
Any info would be very grateful. Cheers
Hy guys
I have a little question and i hope that you can help me.
I don't understand why if i'm connection with my smartphone to internet with my wifi connection i can only see the mobile version of some sites.. This is for me a problem because:
1 some websites that i see are very different between mobile and standard version and i can't switch from mobile to standard in some cases (only some site allow me these).
2 in Italy some.sites of news about sports and general news request a payment to see the news..but only if i see this notice.from my smartphone.. If i see the normal version i dob't pay.anything...this is a classic incredible Italian story..no comment!!
I remember that with other device if i'm connecting by my wifi i can see a normal web sites...
Some.people can explain and help me?
Thanks in advance!

Sites with mobile versions will usually automatically link you to them if they detect you are on a mobile browser. When you connect to a website they have access to what operating system you're running and what browser. Once it sees you're running a mobile browser, they redirect you.

So I had this idea for a longer time now.
I'd like to access the files on my galaxy tab through for example my iPod. Therefore I'd like to create a wifi hotspot that just simply gives access to these files.
Is this possible?
It should be possible if I share my internet connection with the iPod through a mobile hotspot.
But I'd like to save my mobile data plan.
The other way round: iPod -> tab probably wont work because of iOs's limitations right?
Is this possible at all? Or can't the tab create a network structure that would allow this.
It should, shouldn't it? It can share the mobile data, so it should be able to share files?

DLNA
If you change a file name to a DLNA supported extension than you can probably transfer from one device to another. Then when on the other device just change the extension back.
Okay I have no idea what Dlna is, I just know its something with servers.

I believe you are looking for an app called: WiFi File Explorer. With free version you can download files from Tab, with full version you can also upload files to it.
I think I wasnt precise enough. I want the tab to be the wifi hotspot.
When I'm out in the dessert, there's no wifi hotspot in sight, I still wanna be able to access the files on my tab.
Wifi explorer is working with a hotspot, I just can't seem to download files with free version.

Digital living network alliance. Unless you want to share multimedia files, it's useless for you. The tab has a client / server app installed, AllShare.
A little question : why not just use the hotspot feature? I doubt that in the desert you'd be able to connect to the network and spend money accidentally.
That aside, I'd use FTPServer on the tab to share the files, and whatever ftp client you want to access them.
Still there's the issue on how to connect everything...
Sharing from the iPod would work the same way, with the limitation that the files to share need to be in the server folder.

Okay I've got ftpserver installed, but I've got no idea what to enter into the blanked out fields.
Btw. How can I make a mobile accesspoint, when I haven't got a 3g connection?
That option is just greyed out when I haven't got mobile data!

Really? Well, that's unexpected. About the settings, just fill them as you wish. But remember what you used, don't just input random stuff: that data needs to be input into the client as well.

So I entered the stuff into ftpserver, started the server.
I can't access it through a webserver neither with my desktop nor the iPod touch.
I just get some error that its not availible.
Ftpserver has in its logs then, that it blocked because the standard directory doesn't exist on those devices.
If I change the directory to "/" it stills doesn't work on the PC.

Nope, you are doing it wrong : what you need to connect is an ftp client, try Cyberduck on Windows.
Also, while I don't think it would be an issue, try to set the server on /sdcard no need to get access to the whole system ( if that even works)
An ftp client for the iPod... hard to tell, looks like all of them aren't free.

I just send files back and forth with bluetooth. No 3g connection required.
Sadly I don't have a Bluetooth USB stick and Joseph (wtf fail autocorrect: iOs) doesn't allow filetransfair for Bluetooth.

That's not entirely true, I forgot the name, but on Cydia there is an app to handle the whole Bluetooth file sharing issue. Might not be free however.

Jep i know that.
Its called ibluenova and it didn't even work on 3.x, it was quite buggy. on ios 4.x it doesn't work at all.
so that is no option.

When I have to, I share between devices (laptop, phone) with a dropbox. Also by email. But that means a data connection.
Try "file expert" app. Then set your tab as a "mobile access point" using the standard wi fi settings.
When you start file expert the tab becomes a web server (it tells you what address to use and lets you set login & password)
Then open browser on your "other" device --enter the address from step above and then browse your Tab.
I tried this in the office recently with an ipad owning colleague & he was browsing my photo collection in less than a minute.

file expert its working very nicely.
Only problem is that it uses data.

Hi Diemex
Are you sure it's "using data"?
File Expert should work if you switch off your 3G and create your own private wifi network.
Glad it's working for you.

Theres definetly data that's caused by file expert. That's what 3g watchdog says.
The upload of file expert is quite precisely the filesizes of what I viewed.
Probably it even charges me double data, I think it will be uploaded first and then downloaded again via the hotspot.
Its not possible to create a hotspot without a data connection. I tried the IP I get from Fe to cennect to is also "localhost".

I am building an application where users will be able to register and their details will be stored in an external server which can also be accessed over the web. The users will also be able to login..
I have been researching for days on what method to use but i haven't found anything useful, can anyone help me please?
I've written a guide on Android client server communication http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2325799
Would this be useful?
