Question

What to select in catalog in platform builder to include SQL CE in image for windows CE.

I have selected Application and Services Development->Sql Compact but it is still giving following error.

File or assembly name "system.data.sqlserverce version=3.5.0.0, culture..." or one of its dependencies, was not found

While digging further found While digging further found Link

Now the question is how to add support for SPI_GETPLATFORMNAME in your platform.

Answer 1

Regarding your second question:
You need to P/Invoke SystemParameterInfo from Coredll.dll. For examples on how to do this or maybe even an implementation, you can check:

• OpennetCF SDF 1.4(Scroll down) with its full source code
• Search PInvoke.net

Be aware that the product name is up to the OEM to fill in and not all OEMs do that.

Regarding the SQLCe - I am not certain that it is included with PB. You might need to install the CAB file seperately, but, again, I am not sure of this.
