Description

In this screencast, I walk you through the most difficult part of synching data between a Windows Mobile device and SQL Server, which, oddly enough, isn't actually the coding.

It's the setup.

We'll download the tools, and then configure all the bits that need configuring.

In Part Two, I show you how to sync data using RDA (Remote Data Access).

I hope this finally satisfies all the people who have been asking me for an RDA session Smiley

As always, you can read about my day job here, or visit my blog here.

    The only problem with this is that the connection string Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=192.168.1.101;User ID=mobile;Password=password;Initial Catalog=infopalpos does not work. The same connection string works on the host locally. The sqlcesa30.dll can be accessed from internet explorer on windows mobile. What gives?

    Hi.

    I follwed the steps of the Configure Web Synchronization Wizard, and it works well when I access the SQL server Mobile Agent on my local machine throught Internet Explorer.

    The problem comes when I try to access it from my pocket PC, which is connected to my wireless network, it doesn't work. i know I'm connected because I can access shared folders on my local machine from my pocket PC.

    Funny thing is that if I turn off the wireless adapter on my pocket PC and then place it in the cradle works fine.

    Can anyone help figure this out.

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    I faced an error when I tried to install SQL Server 2005 Mobile Tools...
    It prompted me to install SQL Server 2005 Replication Component, but in fact I had installed the components in my machine earlier...
    So, any solutions for this problem?

    Thank you Smiley

    Im not sure if your question was answered but there could be a couple of things wrong with this.

    1. IP address, DNS and subnetmask have to be the same or the connection will fail..
    or
    2. your Firewall is on.

    I would start by going into your mobile device internet browser and type in the url to your desktop. ex. http://192.168.0.100/sqlce.sqlcesa30.dll and see if the mobile browser can hit that dll. If not then try using the host name instead of the IP. Like this http://DELLDESKTOP/sqlce/sqlcesa30.dll . If all fails check your IIS confiuration or just create a PEER-TO-PEER connection with static IP's. Hope this helps.
