Default Doing Databases On Your Pocket PC

http://www.fawcette.com/vsm/2003_10/magazine/features/thews/

"Visual Studio .NET 2003 provides a truly integrated platform for developing mobile applications for the Windows CE and Pocket PC OSs. It also includes SQL Server CE 2.0 - mobile version of the traditional SQL Server database platform. Now, you can easily develop enterprise-class mobile applications that access corporate databases."



The article has lots of examples, images and sample codes. If you are just tearing into VS.NET 2003 or want to hone your SQL database skills, you should check this out.

Visual Studio 2003 is a really great tool for developing database apps for the PPC! I had to do a quick demo of an app for a client that accessed a SQL server on the Company lan. I developed the entire app, both client and server parts, in the IDE at the same time. Really makes it easy and fast!

I never would have tried it with the old tools. I believe the .NET programming platform is going to do great things fo keeping the PPC platfrom going. I have made more programs for the PPC with .NET in the short time it has been out than all the years before withe the old tools.

Ehm. My Palm can do that. 8) Don't know about doing it over a secure line, but it wouldn't be too much more work.

My only comment is how MS makes it possible to do great things as long as you agree to using only their components... Can you take out IIS / SQL Server and insert Apache/Tomcat running on Linux + mySQL or Oracle? Thats what I wanna know... ;-)

You can do it with your Palm using ViaXML from Odyssey Software. It would require some more lines of code, but yes --- it is possible.

Sure you can. Not using the client and server agent of SQL Server CE, but using XML Web Services supported in the .NET Compact Framework.
