hi
can anybody tell me how can i use ms access with c# for PDA Development. I
tried to download adoce from microsoft site. but its not working.It asked for
platform builder. I downloaded that with adoce3.1 but it is not working.


Thanks for your help
 
ADOCE isn't supported on any new devices and doesn't have a managed code
connection. What is your target hardware and operating system version?
With that information, someone can recommend an alternative.

Dear Paul
Thanks for your reply. I want that database software to run on all PDAs with
windows (Pocket PC windows). i want it to run on windows mobile as well.
I thought to use sql server mobile with c#. but as i want that software on
memory chip(so user can run it directly from memory chip) in that case user
has to install both things, .net compact framework and sql mobile.
so i want a database and development tool that could create true exe. so it
could be run directly from memory chip. if you can guide me in this , that
would be a
greate help to me.


Thanks
 
I think you're a little confused about what's going on in Pocket PCs. They
all, including things that are *branded* Windows Mobile, run versions of the
Windows CE operating system. They are *not* running different things, other
than different versions.

Item #2 is this whole memory chip thing. What you're saying doesn't make
sense. There are *not* multiple ways for a managed code application to be
made executable. It's *always* an EXE and you can run it from a storage
card or wherever there's a filesystem on the device (you can run it from a
network share connected to a desktop PC somewhere else entirely).

SQL Mobile is, of course, a DLL or set of DLLs which implement the database
API. You have no control over SQL Mobile or how it is implemented. You can
install it on the device and that's all.

Saying that you want it on the "memory chip" means absolutely nothing. It's
in the device somewhere, but you can't put it in the device "ROM"; that's
beyond your ability. Only the device OEM (the manufacturer of the device),
can do that, and it requires a completely new build of the operating system
which includes the additional files that should be in ROM.

I *think* you're after creating some database application that contains the
data engine and the application all in one EXE (a la FoxPro) without the
installation of any additional libraries. I'm not aware of anything that
will do this, though I think things like VisualCE are probably fairly close
(I've not used it, so I'm not sure):
