Hello,

In eVB I made a simple application for my PocketPC (2003) that made
connection with a (converted) access database. I'm now trying to write the
same application in VB.NET. I just can't figure out how to make the
connection with the database. I tried connecting with the use of a
connection-string, but it seems this is not supported for writing
applications for a SmartDevice. The syntax "Imports System.Data.OleDb" is
also not allowed for a SmartDevice application. Can someone give me a clue
please.......

"The Compact Framework contains data providers for SQL Server CE and a
remote SQL Server, it also allows access to data in XML text files. There is
no support for Windows CE Property Databases (.cdb - often known as Pocket
Access).

"ADOCE In The Hand plugs this gap by providing read/write access to Windows
CE Databases from the .NET Compact Framework. You can also access system
tables in the Object Store. It supports the full functionality of the Pocket
Access database engine including long Binary (BLOB) fields. It uses an
object model which will be familiar to eVB programmers while taking
advantage of new .NET features such as Data Binding with the DataGrid
control as you would expect from a .NET DataTable object."

I have no direct experience with this product or the company, but I was
aware of it, and thought you'd like to know about it as well.

Regards.

Thanks George. I'll download the trial version and give it a try. I saw the
price was very acceptable :-)
