TCP/IP connexion failed in csharp smart device

don't use
catch (Exception ex) { MessageBox.Show(ex.Message); }as it may hide a lot of useful information. Instead use
catch (Exception ex) { MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString()); }at least as long as it is not working properly all the time. :)

Hi Luc, I made the changement u ask but the exception still.I wanna clarify that I wanna connect to my database .mdf and not .sdf.Something still not clear in my mind why should i use .mdf database or I work a mobile application so .sdf database required??,:mad: Thanks for u contribution :((

what did you expect? it does not make the exception go away, it makes you get more information from it, so you have a better chance at understanding what goes wrong and where. X|

Hi, I develop a GMAO csharp smart device application.I try now to connect to my remote database.mdf using TCP/IP protocol.I created a combobox where i want to extract informations from my table using this select statement:
"SELECT DISTINCT NObt FROM 4BT ";
.For my IPadreess of my computer,I use the ipconfig/all command and I take the
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.4(Preferred)
My hole code is like this:
using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Data.SqlServerCe;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;namespace ModeDifféré
{
public partial class Form6 : Form
{
public Form6()
{
InitializeComponent();
}private void comboBox1\_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { } private void Form6\_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { string sConnection = "Data Source=192.168.1.4,1433;Initial Catalog=GMAO;User ID=sa;Password=sa;"; string sSQL = "SELECT DISTINCT NObt FROM 4BT"; SqlCeCommand comm = new SqlCeCommand(sSQL, new SqlCeConnection(sConnection)); SqlCeDataReader dr = null; try { comm.Connection.Open(); dr = comm.ExecuteReader(); while (dr.Read()) comboBox1.Items.Add(dr\[0\]); } catch (Exception ex) { MessageBox.Show(ex.Message); return; } dr.Close(); comm.Connection.Close(); } }}
When running,this error appears:
Unknown connection option in connection string: initial catalog.
As an information,I follow the steps of this link:http://netcf2.blogspot.com/2005/12/accessing-sql-server-express-from.html[^] What is the problem??? Thank u for all u suggestion Regards Marwen :)
Is the remote instance really 192.168.1.4 or is it 192.168.1.4\SQLExpress? By default SQLExpress databases run under a SQLExpress instance, and this is what you need to connect to.

Hi Eddy, Thanks a lot for u collaboration :).I understand u meaning.I make changement but still not working. My new code is like that:

In fact,my combobox should contain the result of my select statement,but when running,the system is show an sqlexception and nothing is added to my combobox. Is the IPadress the problem?the ipconfig command returns to me this:

If I follow the code in the article he refers to, he would have dumped the instance browser, and locked SqlExpress to port 1433.

Ah the joy of developing for mobile! X| We can't read the full exception (your screen is too small). Put a breakpoint at the exception statement, and examine the 'ex' variable when the expression occurs.

It's easier to find a problem if you include the message of the exception. In this case it's probably caused by a common error - your tablenames contain illegal characters. You can "fix" it with brackets;
string sSQL = "SELECT DISTINCT * FROM [D°_urgence]";
Also note that the change in code assumes that your select-statement is run against an SQL Server instance, one that has access to the *.mdf-file that you want to read from. If this data is stored locally, in an *.sdf file, then you'd indeed need the

Ideally, you take the computers' name and the instance name and put it in a configurationfile. Something like "Admin-PC/MySql2005Instance". There might be lots of IP-adresses on a computer, but it usually only has a single name that identifies it in the network. It also communicates easier, imagine yelling "Reboot Skynet and Idefix" in contract to "Reboot One-Nine-Two Doht One-Six-Eight Doht One Doht Zero.. - No Four, I meant Four!" :cool:

Well, there you have it. No point in testing the others until you can establish that. 1) Is your emulator cradled? 2) do you see the connection in Mobile device center or in ActiveSync?

Hi Eddy, I wanna clarify something.The database I would connect to is the database of the society I work in.As u know,maintenance societies try try to make easy its work:a technician uses the PDA to connect to the database of the society and finishs his work.The "big" database is a .mdf file.Something was not clear how can i connect to .mdf databse while i should connect to .sdf fine because I develop a mobile application??Is that possible Also about the ip@,is it true what i did?I don't understand u statement really :) is it a problem of Firewall???? Thanks

Try changing your connection string to

No, that's another exception. It happens because your try block never executed succesfully. put a breakpoint at MessageBox.Show(ex.Message); and look at the value of ex then (with the debugger)

You should cradle it. cradling will give the emulator an IP address. In mobile device center, be sure to select 'DMA' in connection settings. Then do the internet explorer test again.

Hi Michel, Sorry for yesterday,I couldn't continue with u because the time work finished and I have no Internet connexion in home.When trying to cradle my emulator,the first step I found is to enable TCP/IP connexion in the emulator.This required to install Virtual PC 2007but got this error while installing:
Error 1335. The cabinet file 'product.cab' required for this installation is
corrupt and cannot be used..."I tried redownloading VPC and even saving to different disk and still get same error. Any ideas? thanks
