SUMMARY

Microsoft ADO for Windows CE SDK Beta 2 (ADOCE 2.0 Beta) had a time limit that expired on September 30, 1998. To add database programmability to your application written Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 5.0 and Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 6.0, you can now use Microsoft ADO for Windows CE SDK (ADOCE 2.0).


MORE INFORMATION

The Microsoft ADO for Windows CE SDK provides the following features:

  • ADOCE v2.0 - an ActiveX control that provides advanced database programmability for VBCE and VCCE programmers developing for Windows CE 2.0-based handheld PC devices.


  • Desktop filters that enable transfer of Microsoft Access and Microsoft SQL Server tables to a handheld PC running Windows CE 2.0.


  • Documentation and sample code for Visual Basic and Visual C++.


  • Links to documentation and code samples under a Start menu group "Microsoft ADOCE 2.0."


This control is a lightweight version of the ADOCE control released in beta form, and excludes table synchronization.

Microsoft has released the complete version of the ADOCE control as part of the Windows CE 2.11 operating system release, which includes additional features such as Access MDB synchronization, SQL Server Table synchronization, and an expanded name space. Microsoft provided the beta release of the complete version of ADOCE to provide a preview and to help you get started with ADO, enabling developers to program database functionality in advance of a performance-optimized release.

At this point, the control has been tested with VBCE. Although it should work with Windows CE toolkit for Visual C++ (VCCE), it has not been thoroughly tested and you have to use the control with VCCE at your own risk.

You can download the Microsoft ADO for Windows CE SDK from the following Web site:
