How to ODBC from VB 3.5 .Net CF app on WM 6.5 device
-
Hello. I am using VS 2008 to develop an VB.Net compact framework 3.5 application on a Honeywell Dolphin 6500 running Windows Mobile 6.5, the highest OS available for the hardware. For this type of application what I will typically do is run SQL Server as the backend database and make good use of System.Data.SqlClient in developing my mobile application. However, I'm currently faced with a situation where I need to have my mobile application connect to a MS Access database on a network share and insert records into one of the tables. At first glance there doesn't appear to be a way to add System.Data.Odbc or System.Data.OleDb. So now I'm wondering if what I'm trying to do here is even possible. Is there a way I can connect to this Access database from my application?
