Hi guys,
I am new to Windows Mobile development and have been investigating methods to synchronize data between PDA's running WM6 and a SQL Server 2005 Database. After some research I decided to go with Windows Synchronization Services.
I started by looking at the sample: SyncServicesForDevicesSample
I downloaded and installed all the prerequisite software outlined in the readme including:
- Visual Studio 2008 Professional SP1
- SQL Server Compact 3.5 Service Pack 1 (SP1)
- Synchronization Services for ADO.NET 1.0 (devices)
When I load the sample I noted that the System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll reference in the "GBADeviceClient" project was missing, so I linked it to the version in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition\v3.5\Devices which was 3.5.5386.0.
When I run the project I get the following error message:
File or assembly name 'System.Data.SqlServerCe, Version=3.5.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=3BE235DF1C8D2AD3', or one of its dependencies, was not found.
When I look on the emulator (Remove Programs) I have the following software installed:
- Sync Services for ADO.NET 1.0
- Microsoft .Net CF 3.5 EN-String R...
- SQLServerCompact 3.5 Toos EN
- SQLServerCompact 3.5 Repl
- SQLServerCompact 3.5 Core Microsoft
- .NET CF 3.5
So the wrong file version is being called on the PDA...how do I reference the 'correct' version?
Alternatively, is there an easier way to synchronise a subset of data (about 10 tables, where most of those are lookup lists only) from a SQL Server 2005 database?
Thanks in advance.
