Do you want to develop a .Net application for windows ce that will integrate with a database on the device.
If so pocket access is not the best way to go as you will need to buy 3rd party tools to access pocket access.
SQLServerCE is free for the device so id recommend using this
i installed sqlce yesterday. i assume i have to sync with that server whenever i dock this thing. that doesnt look to hard but i dont know anything about coding connections. i always used to wizard for windows apps. therefore i have a couple questions.
1. how do i get a database on the mobile so i can write to it?
2. how do i bind fields to the data?
this URL=http://samples.gotdotnet.com/quickstart/CompactFramework/]link[/URL] will answer your questions.
sqlce is to be installed on the windows ce device.
yes you can sync this with a sql server. there are two ways.
by replication or just pulling data down and push it up
other option would be to use csv files
if i cant have a property box that just tells me what i can bind and to what i have to know how to hard code the bindings.
i am getting there. i successfully made the database and made a few tables(coded). the problem is that i cant see what i put in there on the pocket pc. nor can i tell if the code even worked.
