• Smart Device Development Establishing a Direct Database Connection

  Can I establish a direct database connection with .NET CF Is this possible with Pocket PC/.NET CF   For example is there a System.Data.OracleClient that supports .NET CF Thanks again, Jeff. Thanks so much for your advice. I was kind of thinking that was the answer. I will install VS 2005 since I still have the subscription to get it.

SQL Mobile also considered SQL CE 3.0 I have SQL Server 2005 installed so now all I have to do is get VS 2005 installed and I will be good to go. Thanks so much for answering my questions.

• Visual C++ v8 compiler bug??

  hi i get an access violation under heavy load with a std::vector<> of pointers to derived classes to a large base class with lots (30) of virtual functions. this code works fine under v7 (has been in the field forever). the code is a large MFC app (minimual threading though does use the Multi threaded lib due some occasion brief threads being run). i've verified no mem leakage via the debugger. crashes at same point each time ... on a virtual function call through one of the pointers in the vector. commenting this out causes the code to crash at one of the other virutal calls. is there any chance this is a bug in v8 o ...Show All

• SQL Server Filter using a combobox

  Hello everyone, I am working on a filter function for my sql database (C#), and am running into a bit of difficulties, and I thought I'd ask if someone can see something wrong with my code.

When I hit the OnRunFilterBtn, I would like to load the filtered criteria into the ListView... which is composed of 5 items: ID, Title, Text, Age, Gend. I'm not sure where I am going wrong with this one, and any direction would be helpful. I initially tried to ...Show All
