I'm new to the VB.NET envoronment and I'm trying to talk
to an ACCESS database on an IPAQ.

The .NET documentation says I should be able to use OLEDB
connections, but they don't appear as a tool when I
develop a Smart Device Application, nor can I find an
reference for the project that I can add that seems to do
it.

VB has always talked to ACCESS in previous versions.
ACCESS databases automatically synchronises to the IPAQ.
I would expect VB.NET to be able to talk to ACCESS on the
IPAQ?

Am I overlooking something obvious?

Nope. What you're trying to do is not supported directly through the Compact
Framework. But you can still do it using the ADOCE .Net component from In
The Hand.

Thanks for that I though I was going mad.

However all problems have not been solved yet.

I downloaded the trial version to see how it works.
I've added the Inthehand reference to the project and I'm
trying to test it.

The emulator can't find the database (as I expected)
It won't deploy on the real device? (because it's a trial)

Is there a way of letting the emulator access the .cdb
database for me to try it?


Thanks very much for your help sofar !!

One way to do this is to add the *.cdb database to the project (using
Solution Explorer), select it, and then on the Properties tab set it's
"Build Action" to "Content". VS.Net will send anything marked as "Content"
to the output location (same directory as your exe) on the device/emulator.
You should be able to access the db from there.

It won't allow me to copy a .cdb file from the IPAQ to my
PC without converting it back to a .mdb file, and solution
explorer doesn't see my mobile device?

PS I found out why it doesn't deploy on the IPAQ, because
it can't find the correct dll to copy to it.
I'm trying to go through the different versions of the
InTheHand.ADOCE.dll but it looks like there is no correct
version for the IPAQ CPU?!

You need to tell ActiveSync NOT to convert files when you pull them back to
the desktop. This can be done through the "Options". Just set it to not
convert files and then copy the cdb back to the desktop. Remember to turn
conversion back on when your done though.

I don't have this component installed but you will need to locate the dll
listed for the ARM.

IT WORKS ON THE EMULATOR !!!

Thanks you very much for all the help.

I need to make sure there a correct dll version in the
real system, but I'll contact InTheHand directly for that.
(There is an ARMS4 wich doesn't work, but no ARMS)


Thanks again, I've learned a few tricks along the way as
well.
