SQL Mobile buggy or not?

Hi,



I'm looking at developing an application on SQL Mobile instead of SQL CE 2.0. I was told that SQL Mobile has a lot of bugs.



Is this true?



If so...



Can i develop the app with VS 2005 and CF 2.0 but still use SQL CE 2.0 for the database (i will want to use the new SQL resultset too) ?





Thanks

SQL Mobile is still in Beta and sure has some issues. Most of them are known
and fixed/will be fixed before release.
I suppose whoever told you this provided you with a list of bugs and repro
cases?
If so, go ahead and post these to SQL Mobile NG and/or product feedback
site, we'll be happy to investigate and fix these issues before release.

No, you can not develop CF V2 application with SQL CE 2.0.
I suppose it might be possible in some tricky unsupported way, but
definitely no SqlCeResultSet in that case.

You can, however, run existing CF V1/SQL CE 2.0 applications against CF V2.

Best regards,

Ilya

Thanks for the information.

No they didn't provide a list of known bugs.

Will SQL Mobile be released with VS 2005? I heard this would be sometime in October.

Thank you very much.

Yes, SQL Mobile 2005 will be release with VS 2005.
Exact release date is not known, but I'd say "sometime in October" is a good
estimate.

In fact, you don't have to wait. Start your development now with VS 2005
Beta 2.
If you're done before VS 2005 is released, you can get a "go live" license
for Beta 2.

let me add that I have already deployed two separate systems with
SQLMobile Beta 2 since January and while it is not a final product,
it is quite stable and a major improvement to SQL CE. Go-Live Licensing
from Microsoft allows you to deploy this technology early using the beta
versions.

yes, it will RTM with VS2005B2 in November (I'm at Tech Ed and that's
what was announced here).
