Where did the OleDB provider go?

[Erik Visser]

After de-installing the previous version and installing the latest version
of Sql CE , the Datalink Properties Wizard does not show the OleDB provider
for Ce anymore. The driver is still working, it just does not show up in the
wizard. it did in the previous (RC1) version.
Manual registering of sqlceoledb.dll does not make any changes on this.

I'm not sure where it went, but why are you using the OleDb provider and not
the SqlCe namespace?

Hi Bill,

I know the answer to that one! He's also accessing SSCE data from a non-.NET
app. And I don't know why it doesn't show in the list either.

Ginny is right, I access the database (also) from a Win32 desktop app.
Works like a charm by he way. this way I can create and modify the database
on the desktop and use data from any other source. When finished I use RAPI
to send the SDF to the device.

Hi Erik

I am using VS 2005 with C++/MFC native and a Mobile 2003 SQL Mobile, hope
you can help me on how to get data from my local SQL server to an SDF file
for the mobile unit and back.

Is there an MS utility for that, or maybe some code sample

Thanks
Alex

I am not aware of any MS util for that but that does not say there is no.
I could only provide you a Visual Objects codesample, working with ADO, but
I am not sure that is what you are after.

Hello again

A VO executable will be best, since I can't compile VO code, so if you have
such a utility, I will be happy if you can send it to me with some
explanation on how to use it.

My email is : aev...@leading.com.au

Thanks

Hi Alex,

Sorry to say so, but I think I did not express myself well enough. ( English
is not my mother tongue)

I do not have an utility for this, but I do use the mechanism in my own VO
code.

What are you interest in. Using RAPI to copy a file from Device to Desktop
and vice versa

or using OleDB to connect to a SDF file and copy data from the SqlCE to
another database

Hi Erik

No need to appologise, My mother tongue is NOT English either (I am Romanian
living in Australia, where in the world are you?)

Anyway, I am using on the desktop MS-SQL Server, on the Mobile device,
Mobile 2003 with MS-SQL Mobile, which consumes an sdf file right? So - using
Ole DB (I am told that with VS 2005 there is no longer support for RAPI, or
is that no so?)

So - whatever you have that can help me exchange data between my desktop and
the device sdf database, will help

Cheers
Alex
