Wireless App

[jb]

I'm looking to write a wireless application, which will connect to
SQLServer 2k.
I've written some test code to connect and execute some stored
procedures, which seems simple enough. I'd like to hear any
experiences anybody has had with doing a wireless app with the compact
frameworks sqlclient library. Specifically Pocket PC timeouts issues
and general connection problems.

Hi there,

i've just recently completed a mobile ordering application for WM5 devices,
using VS2005.NET, local SQL database on PDA that syncronizes to a remote SQL
server over the web using GPRS/WLAN.

No problems for now, performance is pretty good, i'm using directo stored
procedures to the server, which hasnt showed any problems so far. I did once
try setting up the replication to syncronize my master data on the PDA, but
it was getting a little too complex, so instead i've just written SELECT
FROM's and INSERT INTO;s to finish the job.

Downloading approx 5000 records over web connection takes about 3-4minutes
depending on the PDA /processor speed, model and so on.

So far, so good..
regards,
Paul
