I am writing a code which should run on Sql server and sql-ce, I do not
want to write anything twice, what are the best practices and what are
gotchas, i should take care of, any url will be perfect (i could not
find anything in google)

If I override the OnKeyDown event and insert a case where a hyphen (minus
sign) is inserted in the textbox if 'n' is pressed, the cursor jumps from
the current position to the beginning of the textbox, writes the hyphen and
then back to the original position:

Let's assume that I want to write my own db synchronization mechanism.
Of course I will have to have some metod of tracking changes

I have a Pocket PC application that uses sdf files for data store.
We have a refresh utility which just deleted rows and adds rows.

Hi,
I am using the merge replication between a SQL2K Server and 250 Pocket PCs.
Sometime I get this error "The process could not enumerate changes at the

Hello fellow sufferers,
I have to use a Trusted Connection - there is pity not possibility to use a
normal SQL-Server-Authentication - to connect my WinCE-Application to the
very needed SQL-Server.

I'm starting a new project that is targeting older Pocket PC devices - 2K
and 2002.  I will likely be using eVC 4.0 as the development environment.  I
have looked at the samples that come with SQL CE 2.0 and I don't like the
coding that is necessary to hit the local data store.  ...

Could someone tell me if Microsoft will provide an OLEDB library for SQL
mobile 2005 on desktop, so that I can access a SQL mobile database file
copied to the desktop with C++?

Can you tell me if the SQL Server Ce 3.0 is available ?
Thanks
Marc

While reading some programming guidlines for Pocket PC, I came across an
article that stated that all "dialog boxes" (I presume this would
include "message boxes") should be full screen (http://tinyurl.com/4rdao).

I have finally figured out all the steps to get the connection and
replication for the SQL CE, but all the tables do not get over to the device.
I can see all the tables in the IIS folder after the agent has replicated,
but when I get to the device all that are there are the ...
