Hi,
long time ago i asked informations on creating sdf (sqlserverce db files) on
desktops pc...
I am close to the delivery time for my application and i need to clarify
this to finish my app.

Seems that in MS people thinks that the need to put data into a device with
a simple filecopy is absurd... and that the path:

(msde/sqlserver)->(IIS)->(sscesa.dll)->(http)->(rda.pull)->(sqlserverce)

is the cleanest, safest, and SHORTEST... and obviously the exception-safe
one... (i am not even capable of thinking to how many things can go wrong or
crash in that process)... while i feel safer if i can save a dataset or
similar into an sdf file on a desktop and than do a simple filecopy... but
everyone has his own ideas! :)


Is Microsoft working on this?
Is there any information about the progress in this functionality?

Regards,
mdm.
 
Matteo,

What you want to do is a frequent request. Unfortunately there is no clean way
of doing it as far as I know, but you might consider creating the sdf file on
the emulator, and then you can copy that sdf file to as many devices as you
need. Would this work for you?

They produce a tool to convert XML files to SDF-Files (SSCEXE)
The support is perfect.

Michael,

I assume you're used this tool? Somebody else reported that it didn't work well,
but if it does indeed work well, that's great news!
