[helderjsd]

HEllo.

I'm starting study the WPF in VB.NET 2008.

It's possible have a database for keep some values in a PDA, for example?

Or it's impossible?

Thank You

Hey,

I am confused by your post. You mention that you are using WPF, and then you talk about a PDA, which I assume you are talking about Windows Mobile. Can you give a overview of exactly what you are trying to do, so that your question can best be answered.

Sorry, maybe I doesn't make me understand correctly.

I wanna develope a aplication for run in Win Mobile, for example.

It's possible, in some way, have a database in this OS?

Or he doesn't support it?

Thank You

There is a light SQL version for windows mobile.

WPF is a presentation technology. The presentation technology you choose doesn't affect the data technology you use. ADO.NET is ADO.NET, whether it's in a WinForms, WebForms or WPF application.

Microsoft provide SQL Server CE specifically as an option for data storage on mobile devices, although it does work on full PCs too.

Hey,

As jm mentioned, SQL Server Compact Edition will be your best bet. This offers up the possibility of replication of data to a full blown SQL Server instance if required as well.

I have asked a moderator to move your thread to the Windows Mobile forum, as it now seems clear that this is where your question belongs.

There are also a few versions of SQLite that have been ported to CE platforms.

I know of at least one freeware COM wrapper and I've heard discussion of a second. I assume there's a managed wrapper for dot-Net coders as well as a Java wrapper.
