What do you mean you can't set a reference? I can set a reference to
System.Data.SqlClient just fine?

Thanks,

Unfortunately, I can't help you much - I'm not a smart devices
developer.

Hi Andry -

I'm a bit confused; if you're using the Windows Mobile SDK and Visual
Studio 2005, the application should already be installed--running,
even, depending on the options you set--when the emulator opens. Check
for your application in the Programs folder.

I've never had to go through a seperate step to install an application
I was debugging onto the emulator. If I have my mobile device plugged
into my PC, VS 2005 will even automagically deploy it right onto my
mobile device for debugging.

If you did have a cab file that you needed to install, though, I would
have to imagine you'd install it through ActiveSync 4.5, though, just
like you would if you had the PocketPC hardware present.

I would check your preferences and/or reinstall the Windows Mobile SDK
to see if that helps.

Good Luck,

-Mark

Hi

Strange things happen :)
On my laptop all works fine,
what SDK's i must install for System.Data.SqlClient.dll?
I can set only refrences to following;

It depends on the class you want to use. There is no SqlClient.dll.
SqlClient is a Namespace, not a DLL. Classes within the namespace
are located in the System.Data.dll

Look in the documentation of the class to find the dll it's located in. For
example, at the top of the documentation on the SqlConnection class you can
read
"Assembly: System.Data (in system.data.dll)"

And at the bottom you find the "version information" section that shows if
it's available in your version of the Framework.

Hi Armin

On .NET Compact Framework is SqlClient namespace not under System.Data
You must set reference to System.Data.SqlClient.dll

Problem is, o dont know what SDK i must install to get it work.
When i set manually reference to this dll i get error "Can't find PInvoke
DLL 'dbnetlib.dll'."
On my laptop all works fine but not on my desktop.

The documentation doesn't distinguish, so I was relying on it.

I thought you don't have the dll?! (in your screenshot)
i get error "Can't find PInvoke DLL 'dbnetlib.dll'."

Hmm.. is this the actual problem? Or do you get a compile error because of a
missing dll?

Ok now it works

a) Create shared folder on my emulator
b) installed sql.ppc.wce4.armv4.CAB

and it works like a charmed :)
