Hi,

I want to developp a new application using Vb .Net for mobile
I have many questions I hope to have some answers:

1 - Can I create an Access DB and after use Activ Sync to send it to the
Pocket PC

2 - What is better for the DataBase: XML, SQL server, Access

Not that the Database has to be on the Pocket PC, the user must choose data
From table and my application will display the specific informations, and the
user may have the right to add data to the application

3- Where can I find a good documents about developping for Pocket PC, this
domain is really new


ANy help please it'll be very appreciated

Thanks
 
Hi Hermione!!!!

Well, I can only speak from my experience, but I'll do my best:
1 - Can I create an Access DB and after use Activ Sync to send it to the
Pocket PC

Yes, but I really recommend you to use SQLCE in your PDA and SQL 2000
in your server/host. Pocket Access is not exactly a big player in the .NET
environment. Besides, SQLCE and SQL 2000 have some synchronization features
that you can use.
2 - What is better for the DataBase: XML, SQL server, Access

Not that the Database has to be on the Pocket PC, the user must choose data
From table and my application will display the specific informations, and the

Well, SQLCE is nice and compact (although a little bit slow), which is what
I recommend. There aren't many tools and information about how to connect to
a pocket access database using the Compact Framework. XML is more a tool to
handle data rather than a RDBMS itself. However, you could use XML with SQLCE
and SQL 2000.
3- Where can I find a good documents about developping for Pocket PC, this

I haven't find any myself. I must admit that I didn't have time to go out
looking.

Hope it helps!!!!
