I really appreciate the CoDe magazine for providing latest issues after every two months, this not only motivate the group members but also assist them in learning new tools, tips and techniques and, more importantly if it is solving their problem which becomes a show stopper.

Once again thanks to CoDe magazine for helping us this way. Plus I would request CoDe magazine to increase the number of magazines.

Working with Microsoft SQL Server was a dream for me, I don't know why I like this product not because I am an MVP but because I found the convinience to use, more user friendly and easy to understand. I started working from SQL Server 6.5 when Windows NT4. 0 was the Server platform of choice. Now today we have not only the version of SQL Server for desktop but for mobile devices as well. It was the time when I started working on version 6.5 and was dreaming that one day SQL Server will be the database of choice and, today its a reality. Imagine I am a "SQL Server geek" so how can I stop myself from using the mobile version. Plus one of the reasons to bring the HTC P4350 is to experience the SQL Server for Mobile Devices which in this case is SQL Server Mobile 2005.

Installing Microsoft SQL Server Mobile 2005 is farely easy. Just follow the steps and enjoy the FREE Database Engine on your mobile device.

Step1- Check for .Net Compact Framework [version 2.x.x.xxxx.xx], refer to my post on "Detecting .Net Framework on Windows Mobile 5.0"

Step2- Download "SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition SDK" from here http://www.microsoft.com/sql/editions/sqlmobile/installsdk.mspx

Step3- Install the SQL Server and then Locate C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition\Device\Mobile\v3.0\wce500\armv4i directory

Step3- Copy the below mention files to your Windows directory on your mobile device using Active Sync, 

sqlce30.dev.ENU.ppc.wce5.armv4i.CAB
sqlce30.ppc.wce5.armv4i.CAB
sqlce30.repl.ppc.wce5.armv4i.CAB

Active Sync could be downloaded from http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/activesync/default.mspx

Step4- Run the files in the same sequence as mention

Step5- Goto Programs and look for "Query Analyzer".

Enjoy using SQL Server on your mobile device.

Since I bought my HTC P4350 I am using the features at the fullist. For me "Get Connected" has become a reality. Whether I am in office or at home I'm always connected wirelessly to my Outlook, MSN Community or if i am using my favourite .net applications developed by me for fun. First when I bought the PDA it was difficult to find things easily but then as the time goes I found that using Windows Mobile is easier then any other version of windows.

Coming back to the .Net applications, in order to execute the .Net enabled applications .Net framework is a must. Finding out whether .Net Compact Framework is installed is no more then two steps:

1- Launch File Explorer from Programs

2- Navigate to Windows Directory

3- Search for "cgautil.exe", if found then you .Net Framework.

Running this utility will tell us that "Microsoft .Net Compact Framework [version]" is installed.

Incase if you don't have .Net Framework installed, download form http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/netframework/aa497273.aspx

This way you could find .Net Framework footprints.
