Paul:
You can reference full SQL Server from your device pretty much the same as
you would from the desktop. Make sure you have a reference the the
SQLClient library.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/sqlce/htm/_lce_sqlclient_705.asp
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/sqlce/htm/_lce_sqlclient_705.asp
Using SQL Server CE is another pretty cool way to do things, but I don't
get the feeling that's what you are asking about. I'm not sure how much you
are asking about, but basically you'll create a new project, choose Smart
Device Appliction , the Smart Device Application wizard will ask you to
target the platform (Pocket PC) and type Windows Application (unless you
want to create another type). You can then add your refernces, build your
ui and do things pretty much like a full framework app. You have two
deployment options, the device or the emulator. If you have your device
cradled it will load the framework if it's not there (this is when you
build), and load your app. Debugging is somewhat limited, I'll warn you of
that now but you can still set breakpoints and most of the major things.
Inherently there's not Debug.WriteLine or Console.WriteLine but you can use
your own preference to notify yourself of what's going on.
Anyway, the first place to start if you want to get into CF development is
www.opennetcf.org .They have many samples and to be honest, I'd download
their SDF before I did much more if I had any plans on doing any serious CF
development. You don't technically need it just to hit a SQL Server and pull
over data, but it fills in the gaps on the CF and if your app is anythign
more than a recreatinoal thing you're doing to play around, the OpennetCF
library will help you out tremendously.
The quickstart tutorials will also be helpful
http://samples.gotdotnet.com/quickstart/compactframework/doc/default.aspx
This should get you on your way.
HTH,
Bill
