DesktopSqlCe 1.6.700

DesktopSqlCe is a desktop .NET Framework component to remotely access SQL Server Compact Edition, SQL Mobile and SQL CE 2.0 databases on mobile or embedded devices. It allows your desktop .NET Framework application to access data stored on SQL Mobile databases through the well-known data access classes you find on .NET Compact Framework.
Its a component
You can use DesktopSqlCe in your own applications in order to access SQL Mobile databases on mobile or embedded devices. By implementing a .NET Framework Data Provider for SQL Mobile on the desktop, you can use the same classes as you would use on the device like SqlCeConnection, SqlCeCommand and SqlCeDataAdapter.
Its fast
Not only you get very fast communications between the desktop application and the device, you also get native low-level OLE DB access to the device database. The mix of both features will make your application fly while having a small performance impact on the device.
Comprehensive database and platform support
Use just one application to target SQL CE 2.0, SQL Mobile and SQL Server Compact Edition databases. You can even target desktop SQL Everywhere databases with the same code you would use to target a remote SQL CE 2.0 database. Its as simple as that! Did we mention that the you can use the same code to handle Pocket PC 2000, 2002, 2003, Windows Mobile 5.0, Windows CE 3.0, 4.2 and 5.0 targets? Yes, you can!
Great connectivity
Besides ActiveSync and TCP/IP, you can now connect to desktop SDF files (using SQL Server Compact Edition).
Loaded with samples
Reuse code from the growing number of included sample projects! All samples are provided for both Visual Studio .NET 2003 and Visual Studio 2005 in C# and VB.
Comprehensive documentation
You get both a compiled HTML help file and access to continuosly updated online documentation (.NET 1.1, .NET 2.0 and VB6). The C# assembly source code is also provided in case you need to know the details of a particluar class implementation.
