Database transfer

[Guest]

I have have created an sqlce database using the compact framework this has
..sdf extension i would now like to transfer the file to a MS WinXP laptop for
further use, but i am unable open the file. What is the best way to create
and manipulate a database file between the two platforms (Pocket PC with
MSWin Mobile and Laptop with MSWin XP and Office XP)

Hi,
You cannot read an sdf directly on the PC using the current version of
SqlServerCE.

You could use replication to a SqlServer database. Alternately, take a look
at RemoteSQLCe on our site, which will allow you to read the .SDF from your
PPC on the PC using the cradle or wireless.
