why not import system.data.oledb?

[Jak]

I am going to make an application with VB.NET 2005 for Pocket PC 2003, the
data source would like to use MS Access, but I failed to import
System.Data.OleDb, why?

Does CF 2.0 support MS Access or not?

Best regards,

Jack Zhong

MS Access is a desktop database technology and cannot be used on devices.
The old Pocket Access format is no longer supported and there is no built in
support in .NETCF. Instead you can use SQL Compact Edition (recently
released) and the Access database synchroniser (Currently in Community Tech
Preview):-
