Compact Framework : Read a SQL CE database on a PDA from a PC
- by CF_Maintainer
Hello,
I have tasked with upgrading a CF Framework 1.1 suite of apps.
Currently, the PC starts a server [after confirming via RAPI that the device exists and is connected] and spawns a app on the PDA as the client. The client process on the PDA talks with the db on the PDA and returns records to the PC app [using SQL CE 2.0. OpenNETCF 1.4 for communication/io].
I have a chance to upgrade the PC and PDA suite of apps to Framework 3.5 & CF 3.5 respectively.
Due to a business requirement, I cannot get rid of workflow requiring the PC app to show a preview of the work done on the PDA.
Question : Are there better ways to achieve the above in general with the constraints I have?
I would really appreciate any Ideas/advice.
