• Smart Device Development Deploying VS2003 app(converted to Vs2005) in CE5.0 Device

  My application was developed in vs2003 C# CF1.0 and Sql Server Ce with SQL Server 2000 for synchronization for PPC2003 devices. I am trying to convert that project to VS2005 sothat I can deploy it on Windows Ce5.0 device. The conversion wizard didn't successfully convert the project, it kept throwing the error Compact Framework 1.0 is not installed on the computer even though I had it and I can compile the project in Vs2003.     So I installed VS2005 on other computer and successfully converted the project. But still it didn't give me the option to connect to Ce5.0 device. So I created new Vs2005 project for Ce5.0 devices a ...Show All

• SQL Server Best practice question

  I have a aspx page that needs data from sqlexpress. When I installed sqlexpress, I installed it with "mixed-mode" security. When a user visit's my page, by default the username is IUSR_MyMachine. So, I added this user to the SQLServer2005MSSSQLUSers$MyMachine$SQLEXPRESS group. I have a connection string that looks like: "Data Source=MyServer\sqlexpress;Initial Catalog=MyDB;Integrated Security=True;Pooling=True" At this point I can go on my merry way and log in and do my thing. My question is this, is this the right way to do this Should I be adding IUSR to the sql group Should I set up a sql user instead What's the best practice ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) "late binding" communication and more questions

  I have several more basic questions concerning indigo: 1. Does the WCF provide a way to communicate to a slick way to communicate to a web service which is discovered during runtime. As an example: somebody provides a WSDL and an operation he wants to call from this service as well as a XML message he sends to the service and a XSL that he wants to apply to the response message. Currently I do something like that with a manual HttpWebRequest. Is something like that possible with WCF in a better way or is the contract/a known interface a requirement for WCF communications 2. Is WCF supported on the Compact Framework or will it be 3. ...Show All
