Db connection

[OdlDevelop]

Good morning to every one. I’m developing a little application for
Windows Mobile with C# and I need a database connection. Is it
possible to connect to a mdb database from an application based
on .net 3.5 compact framework? If yes, how? If not, is there any other
database I can use (different from Sql Server CE)? Thank you for your
help, have a nice weekend

You could always write a web service to act as a middle layer, may be
not the most efficient but it would work happily.

No you can't use an MDB. Why can't you use SQL CE?

For this type of scenario one would usually write to a local SQL Compact
database then sync using either; replication; sync services; or RDA.
