SQL CE / SQL Connectors Another optional component that can be installed on top of the .NET Compact Framework is the ability to communicate with specific databases. When the .NET Compact Framework version 1.1 shipped, parallel to it shipped optional .NET Compact Framework components for accessing local SQL CE databases and remote SQL Server databases. These are very useful for building applications that work with these databases but are not themselves a core part of the .NET Compact Framework. Similar components exist for accessing other third-party databases. |
