CE Emulator and RDA

[Bob Clegg]

Hi,
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
I am trying to make my first simple CE project that uses RDA.
When I try to execute the rda.pull method I get
"An internal error occured. [ID,,,,,,]"
So...
1) Installed sqlce20sql2ksp3a
2) Used the connectivity support wizard to create a virtual directory
'rdaTest' with anonymous access.
3) Added the internet user IUSR_ComputerName to SQL Server logins and to the
Northwind database
4) created a C# CE windows app that checks / deletes then creates
'rdatest.sdf' in the application startup
5) added a button to the form that executes the example pull code from CE
help. (With appropriate alterations).
6) Do an 'F5' to deploy and debug.
The sdf creation goes OK. It only spits the dummy when the .pull is
attempted.

Have I missed something fundamental here?
Button code follows.
Thanks
Bob

// Connection string to the instance of SQL Server

string rdaOleDbConnectString = "Provider=sqloledb; Data

// Initialize the RDA object.

SqlCeRemoteDataAccess rda = null;

Do you get an error, or does the pull succeed but produces nothing?
If latter, can you perhaps run SQL Profiler on the server to see which query
is actually issued?

 

[Bob Clegg]

Hi Alex,
Exception message is below.
'An internal error occured. [ID,,,,,]'

With a bit more sophistication in the catch I got :
Error Code 80004005
Message : 'An internal error occured. [ID,,,,,]
Minor Err.:28574
Source : Microsoft SQL Server 2000 WIndows CE Edition

I take it from your response that essentially my checklist below is OK?
I am running on Win2kServer
The Emulator is version 4.1

regards
Bob

Check what you have in the InnerException of the SqlCeException. There is an
Errors collection, which you need to expand. Under it you'll find more
information.

The remote connection string looks a bit incomplete. You need either "user
id" and "password" specified or "Integrated Security=SSPI"
Another thing - do you have IIS on the same machine as the SQL server? I've
heard that you cannot use SSPI if the SQL server is not on the same machine.
In my experience RDA is somewhat easier to set up if you use SQL
authentication

Hi Alex,
Thanks for your reply.
I agree with the direction you are taking. ie it is a connection problem.
I have created another virtual directory using basic authentication.

I am still erroring but there are variations in the error messages that
indicate I am having an effect with my various connection permutations.
I am running every thing on the one box. A win2k server platform.
The database server is running mixed mode.
Given:
a domain of 'mydomain' ,
a user bloggs with a password of 'password' who has dbo rights to NorthWind
Computer IP address of 192.168.0.37
Can you confirm please the following connection string / code.
Thanks again
Bob
string rdaOleDbConnectString = "Provider=sqloledb; Data
Source=192.168.0.37;Initial Catalog=Northwind;" +

"User Id=mydomain\bloggs;Password=password";

// Initialize the RDA object.

SqlCeRemoteDataAccess rda = null;

try

{

//Try the Pull operation.

rda = new SqlCeRemoteDataAccess();


rda.InternetLogin = "bloggs";

rda.InternetPassword = "password";

rda.InternetUrl = "http://192.168.0.37/rdaTest1/sscesa20.dll";

rda.LocalConnectionString = @"Provider=Microsoft.SQLSERVER.OLEDB.CE.2.0;Data

It looks generally correct. What is the exception information? As I
described before, make sure you have looked inside the InnerException Errors
collection

When I try to execute the rda.pull method I get
"An internal error occured. [ID,,,,,,]"
So...
1) Installed sqlce20sql2ksp3a

Same thing on my machine, then a simple SP3 for SQL 2000 server install
has resolved my problem!!!

http://www.microsoft.com/sql/downloads/2000/sp3.asp

If you have SP3 on CE version then you need to install SP3 on SQL 2000
server. In my case thats helped me...

2) Used the connectivity support wizard to create a virtual directory
'rdaTest' with anonymous access.

Cheers

Hi Alex,
Going at last. Somewhere in the jungle I screwed up my virtual directory
settings.
A new virtual directory coupled with using SQL server authentication seems
to have done the trick.
I'll now experiment further.
Thanks for your help.
