XDA II Interface with SQL Server CE as backend

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.

Wizard and SyncML

Does anyone know about the SyncML capabilities of the Wizard? I need to sync it using linux and multisync/kitchensync.
And hopefully, with its WLAN module, it wil finally be possible so sync a businessphone using linux without hours and hours of try and error.

If the manual is right, the Wizard supports only ActiveSync and has no SyncML implementation. Can anyone confirm this? Anyone who successfully syncronized his evolution/kontact application with ActiveSync of the wizard?

Hi there,
There's no SyncML functionality in activesync, It's Microsoft, they don't like openstandards.
You can use the synthesis syncml client (http://www.synthesis.ch/ )
and try it 30 days.
We use it to sync with Novell GroupWise, works very well!

Thanks eendje. I searched for more applications like this and found http://www.sync4j.org/. Sounds like a GPL Version which works with Windows Mobile, too. Experiences are appreciated, but I think I will try it out and post mine. If it does not work, it will be an expensive tryout. :?

Hello Afroman.
Did you have any luck using sync4j. I have tried to use it but only get error (on my BA). I have used synthesis syncML (Pro editioN) and it works very well with mobical.net. Check it out.

Synchronising Universal with Linux PC?

Hi,
I think I already know the answer to this question, as I couldn't find anything on this forum or on Google, but was just wondering if anyone had found a way to sync their Universal or other WM5 device with a Linux box? Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated!

I think that answers my question!

Try this, I use Windows- so I don't know if it's any good.

Thanks for the reply- will check it out!

Unfortunately, Synce doesn't seem to work with WM5
(well, it didn't last time I checked)

Yeah, sadly you're right, hopefully somebody will be working on it though! Thanks for the replies!

Synchronizing Linux works nicely now using synce with WM5.
But has anyone had any success using it with WM6? I get Activesync on the device *****ing about upgrading Activesync.

Hi all

with Windows Mobile five on my 02 xda Exec and Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 on my desktop. it seems that it's not possible or I just don't know how to do it does anybody know how to do it am sorry if I posted in the wrong place all the best thanks in advance Paul
I was just wondering is there anyone from Lincolnshire Grimsby on the forum

MS access for Windows Mobile

One of the most useful things I can do with my HD2 is to run access files .mdb containing Visual Basic scripts. I couldn't find a Mobile version for MS access.
Anybody knows if it's possible? It would be really grateful

The very first versions of Pocket Office for Windows CE had Pocket Access. It was removed for some reason in later versions of Pocket Office/Office Mobile. Maybe some other office packages still offer Access file support or you can somehow find Pocket Access as a cab from some old device.

Even with an old CAB, you will have trouble with the databases. PPC2003 (if not 2002) has Mobile Access, and at that time, the ActiveSync can convert the Access MDB database to the mobile CDB databases. Either you are creating the databases on HD2 itself and forget about the activesync, or you will also need to hope that the pre-V4 activesync can work on your Windows and the HD2.

Actually yeah I am having really hard time running mdb files on HD2. What a loss..

Is there any news about ms office access for windows mobile 6.5? Maybe there is a some kind of aplication or program who is able to read and edit access files. Did somebody knows anything about this?

Try kaione.com, they have also - slightly buggy - sync client

I use Data on the Run to good effect on my WM6 iPAQ 214. I haven't tried it on my HD2.
