How do I Connect to a Sybase Database from Windows CE using .Net?

Question

I need to make a connection to a Sybase (SQL Anywhere) database in a Windows CE app over the network (wifi).

I'm hoping someone in the SO community has done before and can't point me in the right direction. There doesn't seem to be a lot of information on the topic. I've tried google, SO and the sybase website.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Possible Workaround:

i'm not sure if it's feasible for you or not but if all else fails you could create a simple web service with one or two methods that accept SQL commands and return DataSets. It is a bigger IT hassle to have such a component in place between you clients and your sever but it does work. i did something similar a while back to communicate with an Oracle db.

Answer 2

You want the iAnywhere.Data.SQLAnywhere Namespace from the SQL Anywhere .NET Data Provider
