ADO.NET for CF questions

[vsta]

Hello everyone,

Hope that you can help with the following 2 questions:

- Is there a way to access the .cdb file on a PPC 2003
device using VB.Net? How? Help!

- Is there a way to programatically create/access
the .sdf file on the desktop using VB.Net? How? Help!

Thanks for any reply,

CHEERS,

to just generate an sdf you can try one of these:
http://darn-weight.8bit.co.uk/eVB/ (eVB project to convert cdb to sdf)
http://www.emfakt.com/en/teknologi/database/database.html
http://www.innovativedss.com/sqlink.asp

i ended up whipping together a vb6 (although presumably you could use .net)
desktop app to convert an mdb to a list of sql commands. I would then
transfer the txt file down and the .net cf app would read in the txt file
and execute all the sql commands to create the database. Not the most
efficient but it was easy and quick
