Pocket Access Question
What is the correct way to create database application for the compact framework?
Subject: Pocket Access Question
I am a bit confused as to what Pocket Access is. I would think it is a
“mini” application that runs on the Pocket PC like Pocket Word and allow you to
work w/ databases. I’ve not been able to find any information
about it as to downloading / purchasing the actual product. I’ve noticed
that my Active Synch “Synch’s” an MDB file to the CDB file and that you can
write .net code to read/write info to/from the CDB file. Interestingly
enough, a search on the Microsoft site for “Pocket Access” returns
nothing. Any insight will be much appreciated. Is Pocket Access
nothing more than a storage medium?
Answer:
Pocket Access, is in fact, a version of the Access Runtime for PocketPC
Access.
Secondly, I don't use it much in my applications. I would rather use
SQL Server CE for pocket PC applications. I've got an article coming up on
DotNetJunkies that addresses this topic.
