SQL Server Forum / DB Engine / SQL Server CE / November 2007How-to
hi..I am totally novice to WinCE environment..I am using eVC++ 4.0sp4 version and SDK 5.0, I want to install database(SQLCE) on Win Ce platform what should i do.. plz help me..its urgent..also plz give any links if possible.. There are a few versions available at this point, from the older 2.0 to the compelte re-write 3.0, and the more seasoned and robust 3.1. Still in beta is 3.5, also known as SQL Server Compact Edition, which will be released with SQL Server 2008 withn a month or so. I usually just google "download sqlce" or "downlaod sql server compact edition" and find the MS link quickly. Have a device cradled and connected with ActiveSync when you download and install to your workstation. The 2.0 version install is somewhat different that the various 3.x versions. With the 3.x releases there are CAB files for the various components for each Mobile OS and CPU flavor. You only need to use the CAB files for the features you need. Be brave, the information is available through the MS links and the documentation that gets installed with each particular version. Of course, once installed the real fun can begin.

I have downloaded the 3.1 version and installed it to my development pc. Unfortunately Visual Studio 2005 doesn't seem to recognize the presence of the newer version of SQL CE. Do you know how to force VS to use the newer version of the server when starting new projects? cu Dirk For detailed instructions on how to update your development environment for SQL Compact 3.1, see Steve Lasker's blog: http://blogs.msdn.com/stevelasker/archive/2007/08/07/configuring-visual-studio-2 005-for-use-wtih-sql-server-2005-compact-edition.aspx  SignatureErik Ejlskov Jensen - MCTS: Mobile App Dev > Hi James, > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > cu > Dirk Erik, >For detailed instructions on how to update your development environment for >SQL Compact 3.1, see Steve Lasker's blog: >http://blogs.msdn.com/stevelasker/archive/2007/08/07/configuring-visual-studio-2 005-for-use-wtih-sql-server-2005-compact-edition.aspx thank you very much for your assistance. This blog helped me installing the SQL Compact 3.1 to Visual Studio. Unfortunately there is still one glitch and maybe you can help me fixing it: After I created a new C# Windows project, added a database to it, created a table, dragging the table to the form and finally startet the application, I get an DllNotFoundException telling me the sqlceme30.dll is missing. I have to copy sqlceme30.dll, sqlceqp30.dll and sqlcese30.dll manually to the projects bin/Debug directory to get it running. How can I tell VS to do this job for me when adding a database to the project? Dirk You should install the Desktop runtime, and all components will be globally available.

I actually installed the desktop runtime (it's step 2 in Steve Lasker's Blog which I followed step-by-step). But the required DLLs are not part of the SQL Server CE installation. The mentioned DLLs can be found in the Common/IDE directory of Visual Studio 2005. It looks like VS still uses SQL Server Mobile Edition instead of Compact Edition. Dirk |
