Answers


1. What devices and operating systems does PocketASP run on?


Devices (ARM, XScale, SH3, MIPS) running Pocket PC 2000 / 2002 / 2003 / Windows Mobile 5.

An alternative build is also available for The Handheld PC 2000 (ARM & MIPS) on request.
 

We would be most grateful for any feedback from developers who have tried it out on other devices. Please post a comment on the Yahoo! Group or send us an email.


2. What is the difference between the download versions?


Some versions of the PocketPC operating system come with ADOCE 3.0 bundled inside. This gives an interface to PocketAccess and SQLServerCE databases in a very similar way to ADODB in full Windows operating systems. ADOCE is a subset of ADODB and is missing some functionality. The full version of PocketASP comes with ADOCE3.1 which has increased functionality (such as support for Connection and Error objects). Your usage of ADODB will depend on whether you need the 3.0 or 3.1 version of ADOCE.


3. What ADO objects and methods does ADO support?


According to Microsoft, the only object not supported by ADOCE 3.1 is the Command object. However there will be many methods for each object that aren't supported. Check MSDN for more information.


4. What ASP objects and methods does PocketASP support?


Check the release notes for everything that PocketASP supports.


5. Trying to re-install PocketASP I get the following message:

     The file "\Windows\PocketASP.dll" is in use or is in ROM


You need to close down PocketIE before you start the re-install.


6. How do I connect to a Pocket Access database?


When connecting to Pocket Access databases the format for the connection string is just the path to the CDB file, for example:

     dim oDBCon
     set oDBCon = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
     oDBCon.ConnectionString = "data source = \PAspPages\ModeZero\database\TestCEDB.cdb"
