Can VS2003 vb .net app connect to SQL Server 2005 Everywhere?

[Guest]

I have Visual Studio 2003 VB .net application that currently access MS Access
database. Does anybody know that if it is possible for these applications
connect to SQL Server 2005 Everywhere thru adonet? Since VS2003 is using .net
framework 1.1, and SQL Server 2005 everywhere uses .net framework 2.0, is
this possible?
Thanks

Once you install the SQL Everywhere SDK you need to add a reference to the
SQLEv DLLs and Import the SQLCE library. This is NOT ADO.NET but similar in
many regards. SQLEv is not dependent on any version of the Framework.

Thanks for the tips.
1. Can you be specific about which dlls in particular?
I can only get VS2003 to import the reference: Microsoft SQL Server 2005
Everywhere Edition (shows up as SSCE).

2.Is there a link somewhere on Microsoft web site that has example on this?

Actually, I've decided to create a new chapter with this content. I'll post
the setup parts to my blog once it's a bit further along.
