Platform Builder / CF Update / SP2

[Murray Foxcroft]

Hi there,

I'm in to a bit of hot water with the Compact Framework sp2 - I can install
it to the device (and SQL CE) - but if I deploy my app from VS.NET then it
installs the old framework (ENU-String) something or other. VS.NET also
deploys SQL CE 2.0 dev instead of using the SQL CE 2.0 that I installed. Now
I have 2 frameworks and 2 SQL CE's installed. A total waste of space and I
dont have a clue which version is being used for what when and how.

Help?

What exactly would you like help with? You can download the SP2 cab from
download.microsoft.com. They have one that will detect the connected device
type and install the appropriate cab or you can get the "developer
redistrubitable" that just gives you all the cab files for all device types.

If you don't want the Dev part of SQLCE on your device, then don't deploy
your app with Visual Studio. You can just build a cab for your app and copy
that and the SQLCE cab and CF SP2 cab to the device and run them.

I'll look around for the developer CF SP2 redistributable. I think thats the
baby I need. Thanks.

On the CE side, can I still debug if I dont deploy with VS.NET ?

AFAIK, you can't debug with Visual Studio if you don't deploy with Visual
Studio, but if you're debugging, then you might want SQLCE Dev on there
which gives you Query Analyzer on the device.
