Developing a Tool with Database-Connection in .NET

Hi,
I try to write a little Programm for my XDA II wit VB.NET and I have no clue where to begin.
At the end there has to be a Form that connects to a Database and gives me the posibility to write new Datasets, modify or kill them.
Does anyone of you know where to finda kind of Manual for this?
Thanks,
Ian

What kind of database do you like to connect to? SQL-Ce or PocketAccess?
For the SQL-Ce-way, the Visual Studio .NET help files contain all you need to know.
If you prefer Access you need a wrapper to achieve this. Take a look at www.inthehand.com, they have the PocketAccess-wrapper, and a quite good forum there.
Another good source is the MSDN library, msdn.microsoft.com -> Library -> .NET Development -> .NET Compact Framework.
HTH,

Just finding out
I'm just finding out which is the best, never developed in .NET and of course never developed in .NET for my XDA II.
Thanks for the tips.

No problem. If you have any further questions, I´ll see if I can help you when I´m back in my office

APPinventor noob question

I'm not a programmer, but I love to play with programming.
I wonder if appinventor can help me for creating an app like this:
1. press the button -> make a call background
2. when a message from the number i called is received I want the app read it aloud
I just want to know if it's possible to use appinventor for this project
Sorry for bad english

Yes it's possible to do both functions, but advanced programs are not possible because there isn't Java coding support.

Site to mobile app

Hi,
We have a site written in built using ASP.NET MVC 4, ASP.NET 4.5 with a searching algorithm. We want to create a mobile app for android without having to write everything from scratch. Should we add and an API for the site? Can the same developer writing the mobile app do it or do we need to find two different developers?
Thanks,

If you want a native app, you'll need a java developer to rewrite all the functionalities of your website for the app.
if you just want an app that displays your mobile website and has a few options on the actionbar for example, it's very easy with a simple WebView.
What kind of functionalities would you want an API for ? Usually web developers and mobile developers can't do each other's work, different languages and approaches.
Let me know if you want some example code for the latter solution, I'll be glad to provide it.

[Q] communication between android app and java application

Hi all,
Im new in this forum and just wanna ask for some help on where can i find a simple tutorial or a sample project of an android application that can communicate with a java application on a PC.
im thinking via wifi.. also i got some knowledge in java programming and right now im starting to learn more about android development.
some simple tutorial/samples like an android app where you have to type a message and it will show on the java application in the PC when the send button is clicked.

You probably want to check out Google App Engine and their Cloud Messaging and datastore features.
It would be better than WiFi or Bluetooth as you could be the other side of the world.....
