How does one establish a connection with custom emulator to setup and
install SQL Mobile 3.0. Everything I find assumes you are developing for a
PocketPC. In my case I created my own OS emulation image and included all
of the necessary .NET components. I am able to develop, run, and debug .NET
apps on my image using VS2005. However, I cannot figure out how to develop
an app that uses SQL Mobile.

Thanks
 
Visual Studio 2005 is not compatible with the latest release of
Platform Builder. Therefore, I was under impression that running
emulator of an image with VS2005 was impossible until the release of
the new Platform Builder some time into the Q2 next year. Was it hard
to make this work?

o) You can't use the ARM emulator with Platform Builder/custom image at the
current time
o) You can use the old x86 emulator if you set up a TCP/IP debug connection,
a bit like you would with a real device without ActiveSync support

I have only tried it with managed debugging but I understand it should work
with remote tools and unmanaged too. I needed to enable 'virtualswitch' so
that the emulator will accept incoming connections.

I am talking about using VS2005 to create/configure a SQL Mobile database on
a x86 emulator created with PB 5.0. On the "Modify Connections" dialog you
will see the "Data Source" radio options include ONLY "My Computer" or
"ActiveSync Connected Device." My question is how to connect to an x86
custom emulator build with PB 5.0 with "My Connection" dialog. Also how do
you connect to a custom OS that does not support ActiveSync but does support
network connection.

Thanks
 
I can do what your stated below. However, this is not my question. I am

Unfortunately VS2005 is overly biased toward ActiveSynch - they seem to have
forgotten the Mantra "Not everything is a Windows Mobile Device"
