Hi! I’m new to this forum and I hope this is the right place.
I’m using Visual Studio .NET 2003 and Pocket PC 2003 Emulator and I’m trying to connect from my smart device application (C#) to Firebird Server which is at the same PC that I’m developing. The problem is that when the connection is opening Exception is thrown with message “Unable to complete network request to host: hostname”. For host name I tried my PC name and IP address but it didn’t work with both. My connection string is : "Database=C:\\CaSyst\\CaSyst.GDB;User=SYSDBA;Password=masterkey;Server=panta";
Interesting is that I am able to connect to my PC (\\panta\)with the Pocket PC’s File Explorer. I’ve tried to use “\\” as prefix to my hostname but it didn’t work as well.
I know that this kind of problem was an issue with Pocket PC 2002 Emulator but I’ve heard that it is not with PPC 2003 Emulator. What can I do for this to work except deploying on real device because I don’t have one at the moment?
