Component:  SQL Compact

• 080730_KB956362 - Integration of SQL Compact 3.5 SP1 into Platform Builder 5.0.

Overview:

SQL Compact update provides SQL Compact 3.5 SP1 functionality as a new catalog item in Platform Builder 5.0.  This new catalog item is in the “Application and Services Development” node next to the “SQL Mobile” catalog.  These catalog items are mutually exclusive i.e. one can be included in a project at a time.  Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 SP1 should be used for developing applications for SQL Compact 3.5 SP1.

Details:

The SQL Compact catalog item group contains the following items:

• SQL Compact
  • This catalog item corresponds to the SQL Compact native components for Windows CE 5.0. Selecting this item would allow users to run native C++ applications (OLEDB) on the target Windows CE board.
• SQL Compact Managed Provider
  • This catalog item corresponds to the System.Data.Sqlserverce managed data provider for .NET Compact Framework. Selecting this item would allow users to run managed C# or VB .NET applications using the System.Data.Sqlserverce namespace. This catalog item adds SQL Compact native components and .NET CF v2.0 by default to the target Windows CE 5.0 image.  .NET CF v3.5 is available as Platform Builder catalog item for Windows CE 5.0.  If Users want to select .NET CF v3.5 instead of .NET CF v2.0 which SQL Compact Managed Provider selects by default refer section “Adding support for .NET CF v3.5”.

To enable support for “SQL Compact Managed Provider”, a user needs to install .NET CF v2.0 for Platform Builder 5.0.  More information for .NET CF v2.0 is provided in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/904260.

Adding support for .NET Compact Framework v3.5:

·        Users can add support for .NET CF v3.5 in two ways.  In sqlcompact.bat under “%_WINCEROOT%\public\cebase\oak\misc\” change the following lines from “if not "%SYSGEN_DOTNETV2_HEADLESS%"=="1" set SYSGEN_DOTNETV2=1” to “if not "%SYSGEN_DOTNETV35_HEADLESS%"=="1" set SYSGEN_DOTNETV35=1”.  Or from the catalog items view in PB remove .NET CF v2.0 and select .NET CF v3.5.

·        .NET CF v3.5 is available as a Platform Builder 5.0 update.  More information for .NET CF v3.5 is provided here - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947560.

Installation Instructions:

1.     Close Platform Builder 5.0.
