Hi,

For a project at evening school I've decided to do something with pocket PC. No real reason why, it seemed like fun and I never worked with it, so it would be a good experience too.

I'm using the emulator (VS2003) and I'm trying to get data, stored in a database on sqlServer (located on the same PC as VS).
I've tried several things, trying out different ways to make a connection to the database but none work and basically I have no clue.
What is it exactly that I have to differently, to making a local connection (something I have done before quite regularly)?

Before you start telling me to use sqlCE, I have to say to say that is not the solution I'm looking for or even need, as I understand it, sqlCE is a database manager that runs on the pocket pc itself. The program eventually needs to support several pocket PC's all using the data from the server.

Thanks in advance.
